Topic: Can anything make you stop gambling (Read 322 times)
In the last ten days I have lost $2500 playing casino games. I lost so much mainly because I wanted to make up for my previous losses. Im happy that I stopt playing, because it for sure will end up with much bigger loss. For some it may seem like a small amount, but to me it is a lot. Such a loss will keep me from visiting the casino again for a very long time.
It's a very difficult thing to say or imagine that one, especially one that is addicted to gambling can actually halt or stop gambling. Though, when one actually gets to realise that he or she is loosing a significant portion of their income to gambling, it becomes a thing to worry about. Better still, you've got someone to see you through the withdrawal process until, it becomes a thing of pleasure rather than a way to finance for you.
So, its important that you keep a close watch on what goes out of your pocket into gambling, not really keeping an actual account book or perhaps apportioning a part of your income to gambling. No, a consciousness of what lives you is enough to do the trick but, if you can hold an account on it, better.

I have being gambling for quite a while now and I don't think I'm addicted to it but nothing can make me stop gambling. Gambling is like a joy to me,
Stick to what gives you joy, in our today's society its really not easy getting joy especially in a society where citizens only strive to survive. i hope on the long run you don't get addicted or get trapped in the gambling cycle. no one plans on been addicted to gambling. most times its starts with been so passionate about it or deriving excess joy from it just ensure you always cross examine your emotionsbut rather making some income through gambling which is a very wrong mindset to have.If you dont know on how to control yourself in terms of finances and then you are engage with gambling then expect that
you would really be having some possibly big problem onwards. Dont wait up for the time to come when you do completely stop just because you dont have anymore money to spent.

Gambling is intoxicating and can give a great fortune if one is lucky and with the right fate. Can anything stop you from gambling...maybe your family, friends, circumstances or even your losses?

I feel you bit addicted to it as well although you say you are not. You might play either for joy or for money. If you feel to go back to gambling on any circumstances, then yes, you are drawn towards it. None can stop you from playing other then you. Family members can yes force you to stop or create an atmosphere to come out of it, but its you who is responsible to get rid of your thoughts wandering towards gambling. Just focus on other things you might be interested on which will divert you from gambling.

oh, you are addicted but just in denial. a lot of addicted gamblers are like this. saying that nothing can stop you from gambling and if you stop you'll have thoughts of gambling again. I'd say that you are on your way to being addicted. don't take my word for it. it is just my own opinion.Can anything stop you from gambling...maybe your family, friends, circumstances or even your losses?
the simple thought of not being able to pay my monthly bills would stop me dead track from gambling. And if you play for fun then you are in control as well would not be a stressful even if you lose some money.
i see it the same way. as long as you see gambling as a hobby, no one has to stop me from gambling like no one stops me from going to the movies or spending money at a party. As soon as a gambling addiction is involved, it's a different matter, of course. But then you shouldn't hope that you can pull yourself out of it, but urgently seek medical advice.
But there is a very thin line where gambling is treated as a hobby or where gambling has become an addiction. Most people start gambling with the vision to have fun only, but they involved in it too much, that even they don't know that they are addicted to it.
We need to keep on tracking our gambling activities on regular basis and make sure that we don't spend more money or time in gambling.
Your losses will surely stop you from gambling.
But don't let it go beyond you cannot feed yourself anymore from putting everything in your gambling addiction.
Sure, it's fun and I don't blame you for the joy it could bring but there should always be limits on how much you will spend on it.
Just like how you buy your own clothing or everyday food, a budget is being set so you won't feel the guilt of spending too much for low quality.
Use that in gambling too, set a budget, and once it's used up take a rest.
If a loss could stop others from gambling, the gambling community might have been better since then but the opposite result is that a loss only enriches one's gambling mentality, quite a few people have acknowledged this when they are bitter when they fail, their goal is revenge and like an action movie, a revenge maniac will have nothing to stop them until the mission is complete. Complete for our selves is the smallest amount in the budget and cannot be deposited for gambling, so I just like to gamble by online game genre, deposit a little money to get a corresponding amount of assets, satisfy whenever possible But don't let it go beyond you cannot feed yourself anymore from putting everything in your gambling addiction.

If you can't stop, it means you're addicted. In fact, according to Cambridge Dictionary, not being able to stop is the very definition of addiction. I even think that if you need something very significant to stop, it already means that you're struggling and, therefore, have a problem with it. For me, gambling is very casual. I place some bets and observe how I'm doing, but then I can stop doing it without much effort. Perhaps a part of why it's easy for me is that I don't dream of a winning a fortune, and don't really believe in fate.

Losing streak for 3-7 consecutive session seem to be able to change my mind for a moment to stop gambling regardless of what gambling I like. I've been through it and I have to say I was only able to quit for 3 month before I finally got back to gambling. Over the last 2 months on average I spent 20% of my monthly income on gambling, that's not much because it's still within safe limits for me and my finance.
Obviously I can still win and withdraw my initial capital and continue betting with my winning balance. But so far only losing streak have stopped me from gambling. The rest may be due to other desire that make me have to save more to make something out of the investment.

Depends on how one's self-control regards gambling as what?
Is it for entertainment or a hobby?
he will not be able to stop if he can't control gambling, if it is based on the desire for more, We ask ourselves when gambling, be the controller of gambling, not we are controlled by it.

If gambling is bound by the greed then it is a huge trouble in making because you will end up losing in the end as its a everyday process and will continue even if you try to stop as greed will not allow you to stop. And if you play for fun then you are in control as well would not be a stressful even if you lose some money.

New movies on Netflix and running out of money can make me stop gambling, I am well disciplined when it comes to gambling, in fact, I have no problem stopping I have time allocated on gambling, things are easy when you have control, but when you lack the control that's when problems occur, so if running out of money and strain relationship can't make you stop, then you have a big problem.
Despite having Millions, millionaire's and billionaire's do gamble a lot.
It only take self Discipline,Self control and a deep drive to stop gambling eventually.
You can still gamble but get a purpose, so you know what you do want at the end of it.
People get too much money and still gamble, folks get dead broke and still gamble.
You just have to listen to the inner you for guidance.

Running out of money 
No I like to put deposit limits on gambling websites I use not many cryptocurrencyu gambling websites allow you to do this and I think that is one of the improvements that could be made by cryptocurrency gambling websites because they are helping their players not get addicted and lose all of their money.
^ This is what I have said on the first page if you are running out of funds, that is the time to stop because you know how to control yourself from addiction. But I got your point here, I don't know if there is a gambling site that has a maximum limit of deposit, I don't have heard yet but I think that is a good proposal here, something like a maximum of 1 BTC per day that you can able to deposit. In that way, there are no users that potentially become addicted in the future because the gambling owner itself putting a limit to have a limitation on how much you deposit.

There are many factors that might stop me from gambling but these are 2 of the top reasons why I stopped gambling.
I gambled a lot 2 years ago. A huge portion of my signature campaign earnings are going to a gambling site and I will bet it on NBA games. My short gambling journey didn't end up well but I didn't felt any regret or disappointment on it. Anyway here are the 2 reasons.
1. Money - I'm not the only one whose problem whenever they are gambling is money. All of us wants to gamble but not all of us are capable of gambling many times because of financial problems.
2. Priorities - I have many priorities in life and in which most of them needed money and I want to put my money into something that I prioritize with rather than something that will just made me fun or not fun TBH but nothing in particular.

Apart from the monetary aspect that everyone seems to be talking about, there are some other factors that i think can make me stop gambling.
Whenever i notice that my gambling activities has started interfering with my social life and causing depression to me, i will call it quits to gambling. I take my mental health very seriously and will not want anything to cause me issues. If my mental health is affected, it will definitely cause problems and affect other activities in my life and that will be detrimental to me. This is something to avoid.

Money can stop you gambling. If you don't have money, you can stop gambling but if you have money and you split it then you let someone handle your money like your mother if you are not married or your wife so that you cannot spend that money. The other thing is distancing yourself in any form of gambling platform even the physical one.
That's also my reason to stop gambling, running out of money I don't want to go to the extend of borrowing money just to play, I know the consequences of borrowing money for gambling, you lose twice if you are playing with borrowed money, and it will take you really hard to recover if you lose on borrowed money.
