Topic: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? (Read 2143 times)

Yes more precisely it is a nonsense, I also chose a friend like that where he only said that he would quit, at first I was quite confident but it turned out that all of that was nothing more than just nonsense. Usually such people will say that they want to quit gambling after they have lost, maybe that statement is a form of frustration that they experience due to not being able to accept their losses or such situations can also occur when the case is like what you said where they really run out of all their money, but you will see that when they get money from wherever it is especially from their monthly salary at work then you will see that they share some of their money to gamble and even with the intention of returning something that has been lost.

This is what is called "talk is easier than action", I understand that quitting gambling is not that easy even when you really have strong intentions and determination, and maybe I would call them hypocrites if at first they say they want to quit but the next time I see them sitting at the gambling table again.

I can relate to what you are saying. People don't rage bet everyday but when they do, they lose it all. When people lose all of their money, they regret, promises never to gamble and carry on. But as the time goes, they get comfortable saying small bets are going to hurt me even if I lose. That could go for years and they start taking large and large bets and when it gets large enough they start rage betting again.

I lost a huge amount few years prior on gambling. It did affect my finance for months but had no significant relationship problem as I was not married at that time. Now I risk that.
The way I limit my gambling is no unplanned deposit on gambling site. That's a fragile barrier but working for now.

It is very true what you say, when we see that there is an addiction to gambling we cannot stop because we want to, so this is something that we are always going to say that something is wrong with us and we should not allow it 'because the things that What we do in any area we must control it, and even more so when it comes to casinos, because casinos involve money and that is something that we must always consider, if there is a problem like that in us we have to focus on trying to get rid of that, because nothing Well, it will bring us, it will always bring, negative things and one of the most negative is the loss of money, that is something that we should not allow ourselves because it is not reasonable for everything to go to the casino, if the person does not adjust his budget it is very easy for him to spend it all in the casino.

Now, things can happen differently if we establish our budget ready to lose, everything changes there, but of course to do this you have to have a lot of discipline and not allow that after that budget is spent then make another deposit, that is something that It should never be done, if people adapt to those types of rules they will have no problem getting out of the addiction, it is the only way I see, but it is more like a method to avoid falling than to get out of the addiction. addiction, therefore to overcome the addiction things change, and when you are already addicted to stop gambling is something that costs a lot, you really need professional help, otherwise I don't know how else could be done., some advice From here what we can give can be useful, but that is already something very specific.

It will be easy if that is the situations but most gamblers will not accept  the result easily and will think to recover their loss. They don't feel that they need to stop their gambling and cure the problem because they see that they don't have any problem related to gambling. That's why they don't choose to stop their gambling activity instead continue their gambling and still trying to win some money. The urge comes again when they continue playing gambling and can't control it until they lost all of their money.

That will different if they can accept the results because of losing the money in front of them as losing the money is something that will happen to people that doesn't carefully using gambling as an entertainment.

All changes must start from openness and willingness from ourselves to admitting our mistakes so we can find a way to solve the problem before it blow. We can't let it become worst before we get the right solution for the problem so we must to determine what we need to do to solve the problem that we have. People who really want to quit gambling must have a strong will to stop their gambling activity and search for the other activities to distract their minds to think about gambling. Yes, it's hard but that's what they must do if they want to quit gambling as in gambling, there will be many temptations that can make them return to gambling and not seeing a way anymore.

Courage is also needed because that can make yourself stopping from playing gambling and always remember that you already had a bad experience from gambling and you don't want to have the same experience. Your minds keep telling you not repeated the same mistakes and makes you more carefully in action because once you return to gambling, you will hard to stop yourself and that can make you in trouble.

That's exactly what I was thinking. A problem is something that exists because you can't control or solve it, if you can control something for years, it might mean that it isn't something that can cause issues, or even if it's a troublesome thing, it isn't permanent and things that can be controlled for long periods can easily be solved in my opinion. If I can control an urge for years, I can easily leave it without much hesitation.

If we are talking about sudden urges that occur when we are gambling and lose some money and then we snap out of our actual mindset and think of trying and recovering what we've lost, we might think we won't go long and stop when it's getting out of hand but then lose control, it is a problem but it's not something that sticks with you if you don't often do that.

I would say if you can't stop anytime you want then it would be considered addiction, it's all about that part. If you could consider it as being better then we are going to end up with a good and better result. Hopefully we could see it get better, and then the results would be better for you as well, if you can stop then you are fine.

I personally tested this as long as I have to, even gave a break for a full year before, and after a while I totally forgot about gambling all together, it wasn't even like testing to see if I would gamble, I literally didn't gamble because I never felt like it, it was fully gone. I choose to gamble when I want to, not because I have an addiction, but because I am usually bored a lot, and want something fun to do, so I deposit very little to have fun.

It would be more correct to say that I have a passion for gambling, and crypto gambling in particular, then call it as a problem. During, maybe last 5 years, I've been gambling with crypto on a regular basis. It has started with my previous signature campaign Bitvest/Plinko. I have tried and noticed how quick and easy was it to deposit and play. I did not have to login into back, copy/paste account number and etc. I was browser wallet, few click and you are ready. It was always easy to get some free crypto from faucets, bonuses and etc. I rarely spent own money to play. I did not have a goal (but now I have, I want to hit jackpot with faucet/reward/distribution funds; its like cent or few per day). I just like to do some clicks, maybe win a bit, maybe lose nothing. It is easy for me keep things like that, to keep it under such control. That is why it is passion, a hobby I can easily control for years.

As I've said before taking out a loan to gamble is not a good solution. And maybe it can be said that it is a stupid and risky act. Some people believe that with the skills they have about gambling they can get a win, but basically the victory in gambling is based on the chance of luck. It's true that you said the most important thing to pay attention to is to be able to accept loss or defeat because if it doesn't exist then a big loss will occur.

Is that wrong, my friend? I think talking about the limit is also included in self-control, that's why I always emphasize self-control must be possessed if we are doing gambling. It is true that it is about distinguishing hobbies and dangers because it is not natural in my opinion to make gambling a hobby, we must be able to see that gambling has a dangerous side if we do not have self-control when doing it.

Most people who claim to have stopped gambling or taken a break are just statements maybe because they don`t have the funds to fuel the gambling urge at that time and so pretend as though they have stopped. I have a friend who only takes a break from gambling when he is broke but as soon as he is paid you will see him funding his account and placing games.

Yes, that's the main point, basically all changes must start and begin with openness and willingness from yourself to do so or that means there must be a really strong intention and determination to stop when you are in a bad situation or even when you really want to quit gambling activities completely. As I said earlier that sometimes there are also people who say they want to quit but it turns out that it's just nonsense and I often hear things like this from some of my friends when they are in a losing or emotional state and the word "quit" is nothing more than an emotional outburst because they are upset maybe.

You have said that it does take courage to do it and that is true because everything requires action if you really want to succeed or want to get a change, and on the other hand yes of course one of the things that makes it difficult for gamblers to quit or at least to just reduce their gambling activities is because they have difficulty in accepting the reality of the fact of defeat so they are confused between having to let go or go back to pursuing recovery, so the key is that you must really be able to let go and accept the reality of whatever amount of defeat you have experienced because only with this your mind can be open and can help you to facilitate the process of quitting.

They don't want to think about it because are on it and they don't mind what's gonna happen and what's gonna be the result of it.

We're all open to any result as long as we think that it's fair enough that we've been gambling for some reasons. We just accept the results regardless of it and then if we're tired and exhausted we keep away from any gambling activities and that's how we take our rest.

But then, as the urge comes once again we just get rid off that control.

Gamblers can break the cycle if they are willing to think about it. But many gamblers don't want to think about it and tend to get deeper into gambling and many of them even become addicted to gambling. The gambling problems they face get bigger when they neglect to think about breaking the cycle, especially since they have felt what it's like to gamble and get pleasure from gambling.

It does require awareness and others to be able to understand that gambling is just entertainment and does not need to be used as often as possible because there are impacts that will be received by those who gamble excessively. If they feel they have a gambling problem, they should be able to recognize it and try to resolve it before it becomes bigger and they will not be able to resolve it.

However, this change must come from within themselves so that they can learn to develop the intention and will to stop gambling. They must be able to "distract" their desire to gamble by doing other things so that they don't just think about gambling, which will only give them difficulties or problems. But most people don't know how they can change and grow that intention and will while they continue to gamble.

A gambling addict starts by using it too often so that when they don't do it one day, they will feel lost and that something is missing from their life. This makes them keep returning to gambling and ultimately makes them addicted to gambling after gambling too often. This is not a trauma but a desire to continue gambling because they have found a pleasure that is different from other activities so they don't want to give it up. This must be addressed immediately before the gambling addiction gets worse and it becomes difficult to overcome it.

There must be a desire from the gambler to start trying to break the cycle so that he can start thinking about what he can do so that he doesn't just think about gambling but also think about other things so that he can start to leave gambling behind slowly. If they don't want to try, it will be difficult because it takes courage to try to leave or reduce their gambling activities and that is what not many gamblers can do. Meanwhile, more and more people are losing control of themselves in gambling so that they forget that gambling is just entertainment. Many gamblers only think about how to recover their losses and win again. This requires their acceptance of the risks they receive from gambling because there are still many gamblers who are unable to accept the results they get after finishing gambling. So that's what makes it difficult for many gamblers to break the cycle and still keep returning to gambling to achieve their goals. But for people who have started to become addicted to gambling, it will be difficult because their minds will only think about gambling. If they still cannot realize the impact of gambling and make no effort to reduce their gambling activities, they will fall deeper into gambling.

No not really I dont really gamble a lot, I just game for entertainment and past time most of the time if I just have extra money I want to have some fun and test my luck, probably see if I'm going to to be lucky and win some money on gambling but doesnt really have some kind of problems with gambling.

I mean if you cant stop your gambling if you think that you are having problems already that just means that you are not a gambling addict, meaning you know your limitations and you still have complete control over your gambling, if you're going to ask me I just gonna stop gambling and do some other things learn new skills probably or do something that I love.

If you can stop your gambling for sure you're a gambling addict already, even gambling addicts want to stop their gambling but they just can't it is for sure going to be a long process, probably you could just slowly remove your gambling habits until you dont play anymore, also it's gonna need to change your mindset and have the discipline on yourself, if you dont really want to stop gambling it is just going to be impossible, it just need to start on yourself, still, the best advice is just to seek professionals.

Certainly, maintaining balance is very important in every aspect of our lives but especially when we gamble for fun, the balance between the money we spend and the dose of fun needs to be balanced very well. Generally, when we examine people who cannot achieve this balance, we can see that as a result of this imbalance a bad habit such as gambling addiction occurs and this addiction causes serious negative effects on the person's life. Therefore, in order not to regret in the future, the balance must be maintained very sensitively and not disturbed. I believe that the most important factor in achieving this balance is the person's self-control because achieving a delicate balance in gambling can be achieved by controlling one's emotions and greed well.

Really be that hard to be applied and this is something that you should really be that trying out your very best on having that control or else you would really be facing issues and problems on which
most gamblers do really be able to put up themselves on such trouble. This is why it would really be that ideal that you should really be having that moderation on the time that you do play gambling.
Problems wont really be there if you are really just that responsible but if you dont make yourself to care about such thing then sooner or later you would really be making yourself that getting addicted.
You would really be able to put up yourself on such issue or such condition on which addiction would really be your main enemy and its not something that you could really get away from it
not until you would be able to experience those unfortunate conditions.

Gambling responsibly is easy to say but very difficult to put into practice. I'm sure all gamblers know that the most important thing in gambling is controlling yourself and controlling your finances, but they always get caught up in gambling games so that gamblers often lose control and cause financial chaos, even worse, they become addicted. gamble.

Ultimately I came to the conclusion that gambling is actually a mindset issue. If your mindset is to gamble to increase your wealth, then it would be a good idea for you to immediately stop gambling and immediately introspect your mindset. However if you gamble just for fun and use money you can afford to lose, then your gambling will be better when you win or lose.

No, I have no problems with gambling.
Stop gambling is an important step for your welfare. Recognize the reasons behind your gambling behavior. Are you looking for fun to vent life problems or find extra money? Knowing the reason can be the first step to break away from addiction. After that try blocking your access to gambling forms that cause addiction, such as online gambling, and this will reduce temptation. Try to find other healthier activities, this is to keep your body and mind to stay busy. Meanwhile, if you experience boredom, you can start to take a class of skills or follow the hobby that is in demand by you. In addition to helping to eliminate gambling addiction, this method can also reduce the risk of gambling sakau. Sakau gambling is more likely to occur in the first week after you stop gambling. And try to ask for professional help, such as a psychologist. In general, gambling addiction can be overcome with cognitive behavior therapy. The therapist will work with you to change behavior and thoughts that can be destructive. This method can also develop cognitive skills to help you eliminate gambling addiction, and this can also handle problems in personal or financial life rather than find a way out through gambling.

Remember to bring a stop gambling is not an instant process, but step by step towards recovery. Losing or winning in gambling is considered to be a sign of addiction. Because gambling will continue to bet to find the victory they want.

Actually breaking the cycle by diverting attention to other things is not difficult to do but sometimes it's not easy to do, I mean the gamblers themselves don't want to break the cycle, one of the reasons is that they are unable to accept the fact of losing beforehand which in the end as we know that most of them even take some actions to pursue the recovery phase which is actually quite impossible if you do it in gambling. So what needs to be addressed first is the acceptance of the fact of losing because this is the only way you can do things like take your eyes off gambling for the next few days and come back to it when the mood improves. I think this action really won't apply to someone who has entered the addiction phase because they are typical  gamblers who find it difficult to accept the reality of losing, and on the other hand if your goal is to recover from gambling then you need to really make sure whether your intention is really strong or not, because sometimes there are also people who say they want to recover from gambling but they say it when they are in a losing situation, in the sense that their mind is emotional and that's bullshit.

Well while the change needs to come from inside, it's not always just a matter of strong will and decision or "diverting" minds. Sometimes for example gambling can be a side product of underlying trauma, same as alcohol or any other addiction, where it's a way to filter and control your feelings and experience them in a way you are comfortable to do that. People don't know why they are doing it, because it's all dealing with a trauma that' happening unconsciously.

I am over simplifying it and not all addicts are addict because of trauma, but i am using it as an example, because trauma is not something anyone can fix by themselves by deciding to quit a symptom. It's suppressed for a reason, because they couldn't handle it in the first place. Addiction is just one possible symptom, there are many other ways like dissociation.

My opinion may be the opinion of many gamblers which is greediness,when it comes to the game.The gamblers mostly do the random betting and high risk in the gambling site.The gamblers who get the loss can break the cyclic play of gambling,So the gamblers will play the fresh game on the next time.So the gamblers able to make the big winning by playing the gambling without worry of being loss their own funds.The beak of the gambling after the loss was the many gamblers following strategies in the gambling site.The gamblers who go to the vacation after the loss will able to recover the gamblers mental health which reduce due to losses.
