I believe it all depends on how gambling is a bad habit for you. If you just have fun then you will not have any difficulties with stopping gambling. However, if this is your addiction, then you will need a connection with your deepest values in order to consciously stop playing. For example, when you smoke, but know that you will die from it tomorrow, most likely you will stop smoking because your health in this case will be your value. With gambling the same thing.

Stopping gambling should depend on why the person is gambling, do you know that there are some projects here that supports gambling. And if you advise anyone to stop gambling you may probably discourage them from participating in such project. I am not a gambling addict I'm sure I can control myself. Any gambling that can cost ones health and life is worth quiting.
A person can get addicted to any things, such as alcohol, cigarettes, sugar, junk food and drinks. If he has a bad habit, which he can not cope, it is necessary to resort to the help of specialists. If a person has a problem with gambling, then he also needs to be treated, but this is not a reason to ban all gambling or talk about them. There are a lot of people who love to play this or that game or make bets.
I have control, I stop when I run out of money to gamble 
. but when I still have the capital, the desire to limit betting in gambling is a bit difficult because there is a sense of wanting to get more in betting.

Initially it is like a morphine drug that on regular usage of gambling leads one into addiction. On withdrawal sure it leads to various symptoms. Though we try not use gambling site itself will have the stimulus to gamble. Unless we have enough excess amount that we can play we shouldn't enter into gambling. In my own experience lost a bulk amount for which is saved for years. Mainly due to loss of control.
definitely there are many crossing points between drug use/addiction and Gambling habits.
also, today's society is really immediatist.
thinking about the future and where our daily actions will lead us may help to overcome the desire to gamble.

If you feel an irresistible urge to continue, forcing yourself to stop gambling won't come as painless as you think it should. If you succeed at it (which is not given at all as if it is in fact irresistible, it is, well, irresistible), you will likely start to experience something like the withdrawal syndrome
This is a difficult thing, using our feel to stop our addiction.As I know, if we have under-pressure situations, our feel doesn't work. And we need someone to stop our actions because we can't stop ourself at addictions
In my case, I can stop gambling.
The thing here is that I am not addicted, as I said I can stop but the problem is that I can't stop playing it. I can say that I am not addicted since I can control it. In fact, I just gamble some satoshis I can get from the gambling sites I can visit in a day. It is a waste of time I can confirm that but the thing is that I am gambling and at the same time losing just my time and not my money.
Same here, I was also confused, I don't if he's accepting the fact that he's addicted on it or not, though for me I don't see anyone who's going to be addicted in gambling by just spending free satoshis in a gambling sites everyday, the reason why other's are addicted to it because it is their money on the line that's at risk, therefore they have to be careful and keep on chasing their losses to gain back their money, which always turns out in the opposite way.

I would think I can say I have control but sometimes I can not control my urges to put down some money on a game.
If I am very bored I might make a small parlay if the games are on the TV but I am not needing to place a bet every day.

Sometimes lose control is normal because we are human, and our emotion is up and down many times every day. On one side, we want always to control ourselves, but on the other side, we lose control because we face so many things in our life. Sometimes I watch on TV too, but I don't watch the show too long because that can attract me to call my friend to join and place the bet

That parlay though, it's really exciting to watch live games while you are also betting on it, and the winning in parlay although less chance but it's satisfying. I bet in sports, make parlay from time to time but I never regret losing in parlay as that would only take a very little percentage of my entire bankroll, a 5 usd parlay bet could also give a decent return if I am lucky.

I usually bet on football as well, when it comes to champions leagues, or even on the weekends sometimes. I have the full control of myself, I mean I already know what should I do and what I shouldn't do. It's all about knowing your limits and don't surpass it.
I think I have enough control. In my opinion, while gambling, it's not the method that gets you. It's the urge to win a substantial amount. I started gambling with only $12 and have won more than $600 with that initial investment. But I took month to get there. More than 600 USD pure profit. It's all about controlling your urge. If it's a bad day, just stop and try again tomorrow, eventually you'll end up with good gains.
There are stories of people who built 6-7 figures from gambling by betting for months or years... they lost the lot within days/weeks....
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.
Stopping gambling completely seems impossible because this has become my daily activity.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.

I stopped gambling when I lost and my balance increased by 70% of my total deposit, this I have applied for a long time and is consistent every day and this is also my self-control.

Same goes with my lifestyle and decision in gambling. But I couldn't consider I am losing control if I bet more than I could ever bet in a game, I still consider betting amounts if I have more than enough for my living and not exceeding the limits. Meaning to say that spending responsibly in gambling is considerably staying in control. If you think you are lacking in funds because of gambling then think about it, maybe you are not breaking your boundaries.

Maybe if it’s a project where you see the good return opportunity then you can invest in it . But if you are noob and do not have idea of it then better to learn or listen to best people so that you do not end up losing money of yours hard earn money .
That's a serious case buddy and I know the feeling of regrets especially when I saw my family suffered from what I've done. We got broke financially.
Whoa, did you gamble away their assets or something?

Of course, I can. Other people can consciously stop gambling but they aren't willing. May be they are chronic gambler, being prejudice lol. Anyway everyone has its own discipline I believe to that factor, but not everyone has the capability of applying it. They knew how bad being too addicted to gambling was but the fighting spirit of continuing on is in there to the point they cannot even stop it. In addition, I believe that for someone to stop he must be with someone who will be the factor for him to stop. Someone close to? Because being alone would be challenging.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.
