I know for the fact that I don't gamble that often, and I'm not addicted to it. However, it does not mean that gamblers who are not addicted deserve to gamble as much as we want. If we continue to gamble as much as we want, we might end up being addicted too. I can control myself because I set a limit for myself that I can only spend this much. Gambling is not my priority, so I don't have so much greed to gamble. Simple winnings are enough for me to stop for a day.

Yes i can, stopping gamble is really easy for me, actually i can remove it in my lifestyle if I want because I am not that so used in gambling, I play once a week, I play only when my friends invite me to do so. I don't want to be addicted in gambling so I am not playing always, I know that gambling always can make you so addicted on gamblibg because if you do that, your body will find it if you don't play once.
You can also do that mate, for all those gamblers who don't have control on playing, try to change your lifestyle, make yourself busy on other things, like spending your time with your family and friends.

I agree with you mate. If you really want to change and stop your addiction, change your lifestyle. You should also set your own limits too. It's hard to stop yourself from gambling when you are having fun with it, and it already becomes your addiction. Closest people can help you to control yourself in gambling. Addiction is like fighting your own self, mind over feelings or emotions.

I don't think I'm gambling addict, I only play occasionally and mostly for fun or when there are really important pots or bets, the game is not compulsive for me, if a period goes by without me playing nothing happens, I think the game in general should be fun and not addictive...

I make sure that every bet that I made is worth it, but in the end I lose a money but just like you I just play gamble when I have time and of course together with my friends. I'm not addicting to gamble and I manage to be not in the level that hard to control. In the level that even myself can't figure out how to manage to be out of the game. Some people borrow to others just to take back what they lose and I don't want that happen to me.

If you came to that level it means that you are already victimized by addictions, borrowing money and use it for gambling is an act of desperation
and no longer part of enjoyment.
You need to set things right in order not to ruined your financial balance. Stay with controlling your emotions to avoid bigger risk.

Correct. You have to start setting up your priorities to limit yourself from losing your money in gambling. If you're thinking you're not addicted, then think again, because if you're not accepting the fact that you are, the more you're going to surrender yourself in gambling that will lead to much more addiction. It is hard to do the process of quitting but definitely will be worth it after because you'll save up a lot of money.

controlling on gambling is easy to said but hard to get done,

Indeed its not easy as it seems because gambling is addicting especially for a person who really want to hit the jackpot or its his way to earn decent amount. People who are not addicted yet can save themselves from addiction if they did the right thing for having self discipline and control when playing. I rarely gamble so I have no problem when I gamble because its my way to relieve stress using extra money.

If we play gambling, controlling ourselves will be the important thing that we must do besides enjoying the games. Many people lose their control because they feel excited about playing the games, and that makes them forget to control their excitement. They are still playing more games even though that is enough for them to enjoy the games. That will the sign for them to get another loss if they can realize, and that is actually a good time to stop gambling.

Can you consciously and willingly stop gambling at any time?
If you can do the above, you have great control and discipline, of course you are not an addict and you deserve to gamble as much as you want.
If not, clarify your ways of stopping gambling.

I stopped gambling when I saw the impact it had on me because I could no longer control myself and was running out of money that should have been in store for my family. So what I did was I focused on my job, I turned my attention to things that would go away with the temptation of gambling and thank God I successfully stop this addiction and now I only gamble when I want to spend time.

Good thing if you do able to stop it midway on where most people do fail to do so.They eventually stop when they are already on difficult situation or simply they cant
easily recover because theyre heavily devastated by gambling by means of financial aspect and as well with social too.
We should really be sensible towards our acts and if we do saw that we are already compromising things then thats already an another story.

I believe in turning point because I already get that experience before, but it was not happening in gambling. That turning point changes my life once, and I can go back to the right way. Yes, people can learn from the mistake with that turning point, and he will be forced to change no matter what is conditions because he won't have any choice except to change.

Maybe that is happening in gambling too. When someone broke because playing gambling, and the situations force him to change his mind, he will do something better than before, and that is his turning point. He will be able to leave gambling forever, or if he is still playing gambling, he will have control for himself so that it can prevent him from making the same mistake.

Of course, each mistake would really give out a lesson on an individual.It would just depend if they would learn from it or would still stick out to the same habit and would repeat the same process.
Each would vary on each person because not all would really have the same mindset.

You have made a good decision, mate. I support the idea to stop playing gambling if you realize that you are playing excessively, at least stop temporarily. It is indeed the indication of addiction, you must be careful of it. Don't gamble if you cannot control yourself because emotions will dominate every step you do. In this situation, the wise decision is to quit and do another activity that leads us to forget the gambling, just like what you did (focus on a real job, spend time with family, do your favorite sports, etc).

It is very difficult to prevent the addicted, but you are so lucky that you have been able to control yourself, and now, you don't have a problem with the addiction. We must have the discipline to control ourselves, and it needs practice every day so we can be able to stop it right away, and we don't have to feel a huge loss. Having control for ourselves feels like a brake that will help us to stop gambling, and that is one thing that we should have on gambling.

One can really learn his lessons in life when he encountered trouble at some point in his life. In his case, he lost it all and acquired huge debt. That was his wake up call. Sometimes, you need something like this to realize what you are doing with your life. Self control is hard if you are already engulf in gambling, but there will be turning point somewhere. And that is for you to decide whether you will go deep or change your lifestyle for the better. I guess many people here are having a break of their gambling habits as casinos are shutdown, no sports betting, unless, they are into online gambling also. Time to self reflect these days and choose which one will make your life better.

good for you since you can control your desire in playing and i am sure that you did not experienced being true addicted because the way you speak there is no marks of addicted.

Quote from: Swordsoffreedom on March 23, 2020, 02:32:20 AM

If you are addicted on gambling the only solution is spending more time with family, hangout with friends, this will keep you from gambling, it works for me.

it works for you because you are not an addict.

the real one can forget anything in life just to maintain their gambling activities and for you to say that easily?you don't know what gambling addict is.

Yeah its really hard to control your addiction and to get rid of it but for happy gambling time, we need to stay fresh and give time to other activities as well. If you will lose your control and give priority to gambling only then you may lose everything in your life. So better maintain everything equally give limited time to gambling and also avoid addiction as soon as possible.

Good self-control is a must to have, it will be very necessary. Without self-control, we can risk our funds easily because most people just follow their emotions. Anyway, based on your personal story, mastering self-control can be derived from experience. But I think not all gamblers can master it even if they have been a long time in gambling. Only the gamblers who can realize it to master self-control. CMIIW

In the past I did not have control because what happened was the opposite such as discipline to continue to gamble every day without good control, losing and earning lots of money in gambling has become something that usually happens in my days at that time, but after all passed the thing that can at least make me quit gambling is about awareness and or mindset that must be changed to be more wise to use the best money possible and also, something like other activities after work is an activity that can ultimately make myself quit gambling habits every day.

~ i only stopped when i lose it all and in huge debt. ~

Trapped in huge debt is something potentially to happen once we have become an addicted gambler. You have been proven it, right? It makes sense because the chance to win is quite small in gambling while we usually don't want to stop it till getting a big winning. If someone has no good self-control, it will be very risky and he possibly does it continuously and repeatedly. Then, finally ends with no money and trap in a huge debt.

Try to look on the other side. Try to do something you like (other than gambling) so you'll pay your attention in it. Think that gambling did nothing good to you at all. It is hard to stop gambling especially if your heart and mind are in opposite side. Maybe your mind do wanna quit already but your heart still push you. It is important that this two met. Plus have a discipline so you can control yourself.

The fact that you are just doing it occasionally, that means you are not addicted in gambling, gambling addicts are gambling regularly and they don't have a specific limit in gambling since they lose control already.

May I ask, have you tried to chase your loses once in some of your experience in gambling?

If yes, then you should be careful, that is your weakness and you are at risk of getting addicted.
