Topic: Bitcoin gambling that stressed me out (i wanna quit) (Read 692 times)

Gambling is a place where you can profit, but it also makes gambling seniors gaming them in the gambling, no matter how extreme the financial situation is.

Or gamblers (especially the online ones) could use some smart wallet that locks itself once certain amounts of money has been exhausted. Example: a gambler deposits $200 to play the dice game.  He can set the maximum withdrawal on the wallet at $50. Once it reaches it, the wallet locks.

I will admit any sort of addiction is hard to quit. You just can't "quit" with the snap of a finger. Honestly, the best thing is that you actually realized you are are addicted and you need help. That's the very first thing that helps to quit. One needs to admit that he is addicted and needs help. The best thing to do is go cold turkey. Stay away from all sorts of gambling related stuffs. Even advertisements. Don't play on casinos with virtual currency. Tell someone is close to you to keep an eye on you.

True, you can keep on reading advises and replies here but it's still up to you how to take it and how to manage applying it with your life, if you have a strong will and you still have social life better to move your attentions to other things that can keep you busy, with how you take your gambling activities
already showed how deep your engagement inside gambling.

This has been talked many times and almost the same advice has been given and of course the same result. Still gambler continue to play. Others can only give advice and the rest is up to you. Only you can help yourself. Wether you take others advice or let your greediness continue to eat you. Focus on other things like what I did. Much better if it's outside activity.

Being honest must be a practical approach because cheating ourselves will not hep in the progress of quitting addictions. In other words, we can say that we must show some dedication for quitting gambling. When we are willing to quit by heart then the chances for quitting will be really high. Unfortunately most gamblers are starting the process of quitting only due to the compulsion of their family members or due to lack of enough funds to continue gambling. In this case, I guess no one prefer quitting by full heartedly.

Honesty works everywhere hence it must work in the process of quitting gambling too. Only when we are honest to quit gambling, our family members will come forward to help us to engage ourselves with some other entertainments which is more important to deviate our mindset by not remembering about gambling.

I also began to notice that I was dependent on trading on stock exchanges.
However, the exchanges are different from online casinos. On the exchanges you can not lose all your money to 0.
You'd better look for something where you could experience the same emotions, but without losing large amounts of money. Try yourself in the trade.

This is the problem with people in general, they simply don't want to understand other people's situations. Like they say, you need to walk in another person's shoes to understand them, and even then we cannot possibly understand fully, which is why empathy and education plus awareness is really important.

Try to understand that we are not all built the same way. Everyone has a different approach to gambling and habits, and some find it harder than others to do what's useful. People need to just get that into their heads.

That's a good first step I think. replacing gambling with another activity, like gaming, could very well work.
I know that when I took an extended break from gambling, I just worked more and in my free time I would just play multiplayer games.

This won't work for everyone though and it's important to just be honest with yourself, seek professional help when you know you can't manage to quit on your own.

you can always get so many pieces of advice here and yes, most of them are really not the bold step he's looking for
psychologists will help him understand why he's keeping himself addicted to gambling and understand whats really going on in his mind
we cant really give a good piece of advice to a person we dont know.

Problems like these, you may want to address it to your family, relatives, and close friends so you could ask them for assistance and support. Breaking any habit requires extreme patience, motivation, and determination as it involves your mental capacity to decide what is right for your current situation. If you are supporting your family, think of them as your strength to overcome this addiction. Think the future of your children and your relationship with your loved ones as it they are affected by the looks of it.
If you are supporting only yourself, think about your own future 2-3 years from now if you do not break your addiction. There is always that potential danger that you may be bankrupt or even cause mental stress that would eventually lead to suicide.


Any kind of addiction is very difficult to stop especially if it becomes part of your daily routine. It is advisable that OP might want to seek help from his loved ones and he also needs time to think about his current situation.
Everything is on the mind- exercise your free will to think and to decide what is best for you.
In addition, try to substitute your addiction to something recreational like: going to the movies, taking a walk outside, going to church, or even by just watching television. As much as possible, he needs to keep himself busy and distracted and it will only be possible by asking for help.

Congratulations for understanding the fact that you are addicted and it's good that you want to quit the addiction. Get professional help from any experienced Psychiatrist and take the medicines to control and relax your anxiety. That's the best way to come out from gambling addiction. Otherwise, find a day job and keep yourself busy. Have fun with friends and if you have a girlfriend, have sex multiple times a week. It is very relaxing treatment and I am sure a Psychiatrist will also say the same thing. It may sound odd, but sex is very helpful to come out of any kind of addiction! Our brain releases a hormone called "oxytocin" during sex and it helps to relax your nerves as well as your anxiety. All the best!

I'll figure out what is wrong with me. It's hard to get rid of that if I used to be like that for a long time. However, by doing other stuffs like playing online games instead gambling could be the solution to keep my attention less in gambling.

I honestly think that's not a "typical" answer. What's typical is "just stop gambling."

Seeing a shrink means seeking expert help. Shrinks are in the best position to tell one addicted to gambling where the problem lies and how to go about it step by step (as gambling addiction may be treated on a case-to-case basis).

I believe consulting a psychologist is always better than getting not some non-whole-hearted advice from random people who sometimes just play expert (and never even really got to study serious cases of addiction unlike psychologists who did).

Every person want and expect that he can control his emotions, but when time comes they forget everything. Its not so easy to continue to control our emotions every time. Sometime convincing ourselves to continue playing gambling so as to recover our lost or to make more profit we lose our emotion which in fact become a big problem for us.

I think that it is important that while visiting a casino we should have a limited amount of money and should try to play gambling with the money that we have. After losing that money we should try to quit and should not take loan from any person there.

I am sure we can control the emotion but the problem is sometimes we forget how to control his/her emotion, so it makes him/her lose control. I think that will depends on how strong your mind to prevent your emotion to explode because it can cause you to lose everything. If you want to quit gambling, then you will need a strong mind that is always telling you to stay away from gambling.

I was addicted many years ago and was able to control my emotions when it come to gambling, so, any individual addicted to gambling can also do likewise. When one cannot control his/her emotions, even the psychologist cannot help such a fellow, that's why you should not be involve in gambling addiction.

Gambling is one of the worst addictions and it can't be cured easily. If you do not have the willpower and personality to stop gambling by yourself, you should seek some proffesional help and go on some therapy. Realising your losses and knowing the problems gambling has made is a first step as many people don't even know that they're just falling deeper.

You don't understand the situation of OP and other people who have been dealing with this problem. Gambling addiction is a serious problem that you will suggest something that sounds good to your ear but it isn't really good to the person involved.

You can talk the way you are confident with the solution but the reality speaks that you don't have an idea on what they are going through right now.

Indeed. Enjoyment is a must have with no pressure attached because we do playing to entertain ourselves and not the other way around. You will surely like the variety of games you can play in this online casino and an opportunity of receiving a great bonus once you have done your first deposit.
