I don't have a gambling addiction that is too serious, I only gamble when I have more money, maybe this is due to my personal economic factors, on the other hand, I don't bet too big and I sometimes regret it when I spend some of my small money.

So far I have not had a problem with gambling. I can still enjoy it to just spend my free time. Gambling does not affect happiness, security, relationships, finances or anything else. I gamble to enjoy my free time and get entertainment from gambling.
Gambling is a game that requires money. We have to control our gambling activities so that we don't overdo it. We should not get deeper into gambling because there are consequences that we will receive if we gamble excessively. And when we want to stop gambling, we must be able to stop immediately and not say one more round. That will only make us forget to control our gambling time and we will also use more money.
If we use gambling as an activity and we can limit this activity, we will not experience any problems. But unfortunately, many people become excessive in gambling so that many of them become addicted to gambling. The way to stop gambling is to always remember that gambling is entertainment and we must limit it.
that's good, I appreciate that. because many gamblers who gamble do not do it like that, they aim for big wins that must be obtained which makes them lose a lot of money. This has an impact on finances, happiness and relationships. because they gamble excessively, which is not normal, so they have problems with the gambling they do. They should gamble appropriately so that it doesn't have an impact on many things that are detrimental to themselves.Gambling is a game that requires money.

the disease is there, those who have lost, sometimes they think and say "maybe one more bet" this is what makes them gamble unreasonably where they will start to become addicted to gambling which harms them in many ways, especially their finances. Obviously this will be detrimental to those who gamble excessively. because sometimes people who gamble with limits can also change their motives when they are in the game, where the strong attraction of gambling can change a person's mindset in an instant, and this must be avoided so as not to harm yourself.

Let's start with the simple choice: Do you consider yourself to have a gambling problem affecting your happiness, security, relationships, finances, etc? (Yes or No)
Now, here is something a bit different: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? Either you make enough income to call it "adult play", so you do not have real problems, and/or you simply stop for a long time. Then - months or years later - it gets worse again and you are in trouble.
(First question was above)
(Second question) Either way, when it's time to stop, how exactly do you do it? (For example) Change other habits, go new places, exercise more, stop drinking, simply "swear off" gambling... How exactly do you stop? Thank you.

I never had gambling problem, gambling has never affected anything in my life am always in control of the game, I play gambling because I want to do it, nothing has ever influenced me to involve in gambling activity, people have this problem when they solely depend on gbolg they believe that they can earn from it, no doubt we can earn from gambling but the simple truth is that the earning is not certain or sure, addiction is the major cause of this, when you feel that you must satisfy your gambilig urge you will end seeing yourself in this mess, is better to take a break and return with a minimal zeal for gambling if it is necessary, in this way you will overcome and rebuild yourself for good.

And if you like football betting and have good knowledge, you can win every match. It will allow you to win some money from sports betting. So please don't have any problems with gambling, and I don't have any of those problems either. I consider gambling to be a place to have fun.
I believe most people who have been frustrated from their gambling loses are those who believe they are knowledgeable and have relied so much on it but they get disappointed. Sports betting especially soccer is not just about knowledge because some favourite have lost so many times that make some people feel their is match fixing and some manipulation from bookies on their odd swap. I have seen some ridiculously low odds losing and that means those were the favourite teams.

1- I don't have any problems with playing Bac, and I'm also very sure that in the future I won't lose myself by gambling. Because I live directly with people with gambling addiction and have witnessed many negative effects from it, I am aware that my own behavior can affect everyone around me around, and that's why I've never gone over the money limit with gambling.
2- There are many interesting things in life that I believe we can ignore without realizing how meaningful they are. I have a small garden. Besides betting on weekend sports tournaments, I also spend a lot of time. Time for activities close to nature. Actually, the way I felt before and now about life has changed a lot, there are many new things but it makes people stressed and we don't always know how to balance life to aim for positive things.

Theoretically if you can predict the result of every match, you can win in every match and make money from it. But the reality isn't like that, a heavy favorite can lose, a heavy underdog can win, 50/50 match doesn't mean it will end in draw, so there's a lot uncertainty to predict the result in sports.

1st No, I don't have any problems in terms of gambling. I seldom gamble compared to how I used to be when I was not working from home where I usually spend my weekends playing poker or online gambling with my officemates. I stopped gambling for over a year now and haven't had any urge to gamble. Well, I can honestly go back to gambling here and then, but I don't think I'll have problems quitting or stop gambling again if I opt to start gambling.
2nd Find a diversion, focus on other things, do other things or hobbies that you usually do or enjoy. This is the best way to keep your mind off of gambling. If your gambling addiction is worse, seek a professional's help.

When I started gambling, I have to admit that gambling addiction really hits me. Probably because of my greed for profits that I became incapable already to control my urge in gambling. But as I go on gambling, I became wiser and more responsible in gambling that I ended up overcome my gambling addiction. Until now, I do gamble but not on a big scale, and just gamble on an amount I am comfortable of losing.Now, here is something a bit different: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years?

I guess one that works for me to finally stop gambling addiction is to reduce your time in gambling. You can develop other habits like traveling with family and enjoying quality time with them, or focus more on investing rather than gambling. That way, you can easily reduce your exposure in gambling.

People say they gamble for fun, I don’t. I love the adrenaline rush that comes from winning. Gambling hasn’t affected my personal life in any way. That’s because I don’t gamble above my means. I’m a football fan and hardly miss weekend bets on matches played. Its easy to bet on football because I know the players, I know the teams and I know the leagues. Even if I lose, it’s familiar territory and I know I can get a win next week.
If you prefer the adrenaline rush of gambling, you must have good self-control because, in gambling, many challenges can make someone forget to control themselves. It can make them gamble beyond their means, but limiting your gambling activities is very good because I don't think you will gamble beyond your means. This gives you the ability to control the amount of money you use so that you don't lose too much.And if you like football betting and have good knowledge, you can win every match. It will allow you to win some money from sports betting. So please don't have any problems with gambling, and I don't have any of those problems either. I consider gambling to be a place to have fun.

If a gambler can stay away from gambling for a long time, then they can actually stay away from gambling forever. It will just take some more discipline and constant reminder why you stopped.I was able to see several people directly in the area where I live and there were quite lot of gamblers, most of whom had become gambling addicts.
They make various efforts to stop gambling activities and try to truly recover from addiction, indeed some are successful in recovering from addiction but not in stopping forever.
After recovering, they still return to gambling sites to gamble, but there is significant difference, namely that they can be more controlled, they can have limits and of course they can manage the money and time used for gambling.
This is the reality that I know so far in the life of gambling addict.
It is, but you have to be consistent with it, and that's the hardest part that people often not acknowledge. It's extremely hard to be consistent at not doing something especially if that something used to take up the bulk of your time before. My advice is to take up a hobby that consumes a lot of time as well that will steer you away from gambling. Making yourself busy and not allowing any free time for yourself to gamble is one good strategy to lay off the degeneracy once and for all.

It's quite possible for people to have recurring gambling problems especially if they kept at it despite the fact that you should quit it cold turkey. I myself have been addicted to gambling in the past, it took quite a lot of discipline to finally get rid of it and now, I only ever gamble occasionally, and if in any case I find myself gambling more, I make sure that I quit. I even employed gambling strats to make sure that I don't end up on a loss or a negative that much. Part of the reason why people go back to becoming addicts after being able to control it is because they fail to instill discipline upon themselves. Control is good but you need to do it consistently and truthfully, otherwise you're just wasting your time and your effort. Discipline is needed if you want to stay clean towards your gambling journey.
Yes, I think gambling is an activity that needs to be done only if we have enough money and time. Gambling too often will make our concentration unfocused and even worse if we can't focus on work because we think about previous gambling losses. One way that we can gamble well is by implementing a disciplined pattern, discipline in money, time and emotional control
I am aware that maintaining a disciplined pattern in gambling is difficult because in gambling we are often angry/emotional when we lose and greedy when we win. But like it or not, we need to apply a disciplined pattern, otherwise bad things could happen and no one wants us to go bankrupt because of gambling.

Yes, basically getting better is not an easy thing in implementing good habits, there are often distractions in certain situations, the most important thing is when we realize what we want to form in ourselves, we correct the mistakes we have made, and reduce similar mistakes and until the mentality in time and money management becomes a habit that we can unconsciously do well.
However, in my mind, it is about the habit of principled living that needs to be formed over a long period of time. Yes, this will also be effective when applied to gambling, the better it is, the less we make mistakes that can harm ourselves.
We need to have self-awareness in carrying out an evaluation, so that we know exactly where the mistakes we made are, so that it will be easier for us to correct them. However, it is very unfortunate that for the average gambler, it is difficult for them to realize their bad behavior in carrying out their gambling activities. They will realize that when they are in a really difficult condition, where apart from experiencing a loss, they also experience a serious gambling addiction. This is quite a troublesome situation.
And what you say is true, so that our gambling activities run smoothly, without causing serious problems and losses. So it is important for us to continue to stick to a principle and a series of rules that we have created ourselves. And this must be done continuously so that over time it becomes a good habit.

I never make gambling a problem , why should be a problem when it is completely controllable if you only knew how to engage in gambling world , there are so many gamblers that did not make a research and understanding that's why they are the one who's having these issues.
the problem also in other gamblers is they don't have control , they kept seeking for winning even if it is obvious that luck is not their friend that time.
lucky for me that i am now in control of everything in gambling so by all means never that i will be a problematic gambler and thanks to my Mentor/uncle that thought me how to never make gambling a serious source of income.
Fortunately, you have a close family member who can assist you in breaking your poor gambling habit. We should consider gambling more rationally as it is not primarily a means of generating income. The majority of wealthy individuals view gambling only as a form of entertainment rather than a means of making money.the problem also in other gamblers is they don't have control , they kept seeking for winning even if it is obvious that luck is not their friend that time.

Personally, I was also on the verge of deviance at the beginning of my experience with gambling, but I was fortunate enough to meet people whose lives were ruined by gambling addiction, and I learned lessons from them.

So far I don't have a gambling problem and I always avoid bad things when everything is destined to lose. Currently I only actively gamble on football betting and I do that every weekend when all the matches from various leagues start to take place. When I started filling out the betting list, it was like there was an intense atmosphere in my head that always pushed me to various positive things (what I mean by positive here is joy). Even if I lose or lose money, I will be fine and not experience mental problems.
So, regarding gambling problems, I haven't encountered this myself, but I can't rule out the fact that there are definitely lots of people out there who have gambling problems, perhaps the worst thing is losing all their savings. But I hope we are all still under reasonable control and don't do anything that could harm ourselves or others.
As long as you can still control yourself then it won't be such a significant problem, gambling can be a fun thing if we can enjoying it and consider it as entertainment when we are bored or as entertainment on the weekend when you have a day off from work day, like those of you who always bet on football sports at the weekend, this can give you excitement when betting while watch a football match, but the important thing is that you don't get too worried if you lose money and your bet doesn't meet your expectations. This means you will of course still be happy enjoying your bets without any problems.So, regarding gambling problems, I haven't encountered this myself, but I can't rule out the fact that there are definitely lots of people out there who have gambling problems, perhaps the worst thing is losing all their savings.

Maybe there are many people out there who have gambling problems and thats their business. Our only obligation is to give advice to people who haven't already had a gambling problems. For some people, they may not have a problem when they spend quite a lot of money betting, but for people who want to make a profit from betting even small amounts is very important for them, therefore it's better to use special money for gambling, namely as little as possible if you don't want to experience financial problem and not more than what you can afford so that's it won't be a big problems in the future.

when it's time to stop, how exactly do you do it? (For example) Change other habits, go new places, exercise more, stop drinking, simply "swear off" gambling... How exactly do you stop?
It is a different thing for everyone, simple words can be the way some people stop gambling, some people have to change to other activities, then possible that some other people will not need to fill the space that leaving gambling will leave, they will be okay with not adopting any new habit to replace gambling.Doing all this does not guarantee you will stop gambling completely, but just to reduce it, I will say it is true.
Gambling always gives the impression of curiosity and the desire to continue betting and of course it will be very difficult to stop completely and in many cases only reducing the intensity of gambling can really be done.

It was only at the beginning that I experienced problems such as gambling more than my bankroll and it was difficult to control my desire not to play anymore. It was quite frustrating for me because I couldn't control myself from playing and gambling beyond my bankroll which affected my finances. But after gambling for a while, and consistently controlling myself, I no longer have that problem.

Nowadays if I want to stop gambling I can do it straight away. Whether I want to go to the movies, sports, or various other activities, I can immediately leave my gambling and not be distracted by it anymore.

The challenge that face many gamblers that can make them to think of themselves and also think if gambling is of better condition for them or not, their is something I have not understand concerning gambling, once people start not achieving what they were achieving in gambling for sometimes they will pause for gambling and once they are still making some certain profits with gambling you will see them not gambles again, so therefore I think that gambling have to do with benefits and when the benefits is not manifesting the way it use to be before, I don't think that it triggers a gambler to continue gambling
When gambling, individual who are frequently gambling knows they won't win everytime therefore they don't just give up when they're not winning. All life activities has its hard times and gambling also has it's hard times too. Gambling isn't an activity that you can depend on for it to provide for your expenses. If you win when gambling, it's your luck and not only due to your skills or experience. When your profits stops coming, don't quit gambling just reduce your wager so you don't lose more.
Gambling problems like addiction can be controlled, addiction develop gradually for every individual so you can manage it before it becomes so dangerous to you and make you lose all the money you're using for gambling and also your profits you have made form gambling yet you don't stop gambling as you can't even when you try due to you're already addicted.
