Been addicted is chaos to one's state entirely

[Ever-young]

That's why it's important to prepare ourselves to losses since it's the reason for majority of us on why we're becoming addicted. Chasing the losses by spending more money (hoping to recover it back) is really not advisable. I experienced it myself that's why I know how hard it is to be in such situation. It's hard to overcome addiction but possible if you have the willingness to change what you used to.

One of The hardest part of gambling, or a gambler is letting go off losses. Some may not really understand how much discipline it takes to be able to let go off losses, especially when those losses are not actually planned for. The moment a gambler learns and masters to let go off losses regardless of the circumstances, he automatically puts himself in a position where he wouldn’t find any need to chase them. This is why it’s advised to always be mindful and in complete control of how much one spends in gambling, as this is the best way to effectively manage and control your losses.

Very true. The moment that gamblers begin to mismanage their portfolios and start throwing bigger amounts into gambling with hopes of recovery or doubling their portfolios, turning back becomes difficult as it automatically becomes a do or die situation, it’s either they succeed in doubling their portfolio or they completely clean out their portfolio, and we all know which one is most likely to occur first, considering that in gambling, the house always have the higher advantage and it takes only luck for gamblers to turn the table.

Are you saying you accepted that you can't recover your losses and move on from gambling? The move on you are talking about is that you are advising the gambler to quit gambling or you are saying they should gamble with the intension that the lost funds can't be recovered? The mistake most gamblers do is thinking they can recover their losses. There's no recovering of any money lost in gambling, just keeping gambling within your means and don't center your entire life on gambling, have a life outside go gambling too and you see that gambling losses won't affect you that much.

That's why I tell some people not to put all their hopes in gambling wins and because of that they will stake with a huge amount and expect to win a huge amount as well and when they lose the money, they will start chasing losses that they can not recover and then end up losing more money. Once someone gets deep in addiction, it will really be difficult for them to come off it, so it's better a gambler start on time to cultivate a responsible gambling habit.

I have been gambling for the past ten years now and seriously I must say I have lost more than I have profited thou it feels as if I should keep on trying so I can recover back my losses but that's the more money I keep on losing sometimes I will delete the app to free myself from it then during the week ends my friends will show me some nice games asking if I have interest in it then the spirit comes and I will download back the app and I will go back to what has been eating me up is so addicting that I called the app my daily food.
Some persons out there might be facing the same situation and it is affecting there state of mind and how they live there life's the fact is to just let go you can't recover those losses is gone just accept defeat and move on though is hard but you have to that's what I did

Ahhh. Just imagine gambling and moving round in circles for a whole 10 years. I'll team this indecisiveness or weak decision making.  Moving in circles in the sense that you make decision and go back to it because you have not really stood up to your ground.  Because if you really mean what you say and take a decision you will use all you have to protect it and stand by it. Regardless of what people will say or the persuasion they give you doesn't really affect you.
 You're ability to make a decision and stand by it defines the real you. Else people around you would take you for granted and even test your personality and you will fall over and again.

That's a fact. The losses cannot possibly be recovered anymore. We must accept that.

Moving on fast will be tough, but that's the only way to start fresh again. Make it a lesson and live every day thinking about the losses you made and how frustrated you are after losing it all. I think OP must now be thinking about quitting, but it's best not force it if you can't. Slow changes can help. Find another hobby. Gamble in your spare time. Use the smartphone if it's available, because it will run out of battery, and that's a sign to stop.
There are many ways to slowly get away from gambling and treat it just as an entertainment, but it starts with the mentality of the gambler.

If one cannot let go of his losses, he will always come back for revenge, and that's a sign of gambling addiction that we must avoid.

~Maintaining good self-control and discipline is the very key that will help one in avoiding whatever thing that will lead them into being addicted, which is why people are to ensure that they know what gambling is all about for their own advantage, as this will also support them in enjoying the essence of gambling, which is designed to be a game of fun and entertainment and not what will deprived people joy and happiness, because it will surely affect their mental wellness.

Many people hate gambling. They see only as something evil that that brings a lot of suffering into this world. But in fact, gambling, in the vast majority of cases, serves people as you described it. A lot of things in this universe are like that. Take sun, for example. It can make burns on your skin, if you spend too much time exposed to it, but overall it's a good thing, the Sun, right?
