I've read once that if you can admit that you're addicted then it's not that bad, even better if you're doing something to fight it and restrain yourself.
The worst kind of addict won't ever admit to it. He'll always say with confidence that he's not addicted and he doesn't even play a lot,while in fact that's how he spends his days. If other people tell you that you're addicted and you should stop, it means that you are.

I'm doing gambling but I'm not addicted to gambling, this self-control and self-discipline is one of the things that a gambler should have in order not to get addicted to gambling. The main reason why we are getting addicted on it is because of the losses that we do have on it, the more we lose the more we get addicted on it, that is why it is better to have this self-discipline in order to manage our bets and not to lose more of it.

As the title says, do you think that you're addicted to gambling? or you just don't realize that you're addicted Roll Eyes
If you ask me, i used to addicted to gambling but stopped after suffer big losses even though i'm still in profit.

I am not addicted in Gambling because I can stop my self in betting even if I did not lost big bitcoin. I can control myself to stop in betting when I feel the next thing will happen is to lose. So what do you think? I am betting once a month sometimes, and sometimes I did not gamble anymore, why? Because I don't want to lose or I am busy. I bet only when I'm bored, I want to feel the thrill in betting even if I lose only small amount of bitcoin.

no i am not addicted, i have full control on my self, i have limited my gambling, and always play gambling on a strategy, some time i quit gambling and do not play it for week or so, but  it has no effect on me, i think i can control my self not to play gambling.

Controlling yourself in gambling is not enough for you to control this addiction in gambling, what you must do is to completely forget this gambling and focus on the other things which is not that risky on gambling. But I'm not addicted to gambling, but I do gambling just to have a pastime to not to get bored. I'm always setting a certain amount of bitcoin to spend on this and if I lose it all then it just mean I need to call it a day.
Yes, I practice gambling like a pastime and I'm satisfied myself that not a serious patient following other gambling addicted ppl. As I'm not profession in gambling so doesn't make sense do it everyday purpose. Enjoy gambling just guesses my favorite team and view it as a harmless pastime.

That is right, the best thing to fight addiction is Tibu completely forget about the past, if you still crave to recover what you have lost then you'll be a big victim and disappointment to yourself and family in the long run.

Choosing to forget everything is harder than what you imagined however if you are determined to completely forget about everything then it is time to move on. If you want to be able to completely forget about everything then unless you are determined, you wont be able to do this so brace yourself when you feel you are done

I think yes am addicted because i don't want to stop if i'm planning to do it i remembered the times i lose that why i return again to gamble i want to recover all my loses. Its very hard i always been frustrated everytime i gamble. Its so sad i lose a lot on dice game.

Why dont you talk to your family members about it and ask them to help you with it. In such situations they can be a really good help, however pissed they may get on knowing that you are wasting money. If you are dedicated on stopping your addiction once and for all you must step in an aggressive manner and control your emotions. Then start focusing on other things that keep you away from gambling and soon you will see that the craving is gone.

Aww that's bad for you mate. It's really hard to recover your loses in gambling because you will not be able to get it back unless you win a jackpot in some lotto were you can get millions of money but you really need to have a million of luck to get it. As early as now you can try to at least lessen your gambling activities because if not, you may lose a lot of money.

To forget your past, you must addict to any other habit then only it is possible. Otherwise, you always think about your lost, and your greed will make you play again in gambling. To stop gambling completely, you should be busy with any other work don't make any free time. If you get free time, you will feel to replay gambling. That is why don't be alone keep your day full rush with any work then only it is possible. But don't choose again gambling to get back your loss it is not possible.

I was able to control my urge to gamble this last couple of days. I'm thinking that I will just lose my hard earn bitcoin, so my urge to gamble was lessen. But still it is a mind games so I don't know when can I still control it. Its been like this for days now for me. LOL. But I will try to fight it back as long as I can until my urge has subside.

Just forget about gambling for couple of months, do something else for entertaining instead. Thus you'll have time to rethink what gambling is for you personally. This worked for me perfectly and when I returned to gambling it has never been a problem for me since, namely because I stopped seeing it as a possibility to earn money.

If you are thinking of losing your hard earned bitcoin if you gamble, then dont gamble at all. Isnt is logical that the casinos are there to draw money more than what they give out? Then again you can earn bitcoin in other methods as well. If you feel you are getting addicted try to engage yourself in some other hobby or bitcoin earning method other than gambling and HYIP/MLM scheme.
Many people are addicted in gambling but for me honestly i just gamble for fun. I'm addicted but i am limiting amount of my bitcoin and i just gamble that i can ford to lose. gambling are made just for fun so gambling for fun and don't think that you are targeting to make a profit.. or chasing your loses..
And limiting your self can help you to control your your gambling activity and its not good to gamble daily it is only good if you want to past your time or waiting to get your free time done..
to me i think of the people who play gambling are addicted to gambling but some people not ready to accept the truth, while some people pretend about that. to very honestly i will like to say that i am addicted to gambling and i play gambling for making money and not for fun, to me i can get fun from gambling only if i am making money. otherwise there is no other source through which i can get pleasure from gambling.

From your post it looks you really do gamble a lot and not always with money you can afford to lose. So, can you share please your overall stats? And also for how long exactly you are living in that manner?

That's great that you have balls to admit that you are a gambling addict btw, I respect that a lot.

Well it does take some guts to admit the truth and I would say hats off to you since you have it. If you find happiness in gambling then by all do so and keep winning. But it will be helpful according to me if you can share your winning skills here with the others as well. Since you are talking like a pro at gambling, you must be having some good skills otherwise you cant remain addicted and keep winning every time.

Yeah maybe it is still good if the gambler knows that he is addicted and that he can admit it. Being addicted to gambling affects mental health and changes how the person thinks. It can be noticed from his actions and is very dangerous. Once addicted, it is very hard for them to stop themselves to play and others became violent if you try to stop them.

As for myself, I can proudly say that I am not addicted. I do not occasionally play and I would like to save my bitcoin for future needs and purposes instead of spending it in gambling.

It seems to me that advising gambling to the user is generally inappropriate. The fact is that gambling is 40 individual business and it seems to me that everyone should go to this decision himself. The fact is that less than 50% of all players can boast of some achievements in gambling.

I have never experienced gambling addiction. I feel that gambling is just a game to find pleasure.
People who are looking for profits must have experienced this. I never consider gambling is a job, gambling is a hobby.
yes for the players who gamble only for fun it is not an addiction and they feel that they are playing without addiction. That is right but if the player do not waste much of his time and will give a good time to his normal life.

Sometimes gambling fornfun becomes too much and it can also result to addiction. I think a lot of cases start with people enjoying too much when they gamble. It's not about the profits or the losses but the "fun" the have while gambling. So it's really not safe to say that gambling for fun only can avoid you becoming addicted to gambling.
I think no, people who can have fun in their gambling will never be addicted to gambling because they gamble just for a moment after they will not touch gambling again for a few moments. if you want to know you are addicted to gambling or not, it's easy. you will play gambling in almost your all days.

You can never know, there are people who started gambling for fun and end up broke and bankrupt before they know it. When they have 0 money and still want to gamble and saying to themselves "it is just for fun" that is when they are addicted and they don't know that they yet. It's not that hard to get addicted, so the best thing to do is really to resist temptations.
yes most of the people here join the Casino just for fun and enjoyemnt, but with continous playing they become addicted and start  putting money there and gradually they make their bet bigger and bigger which really make the addicted and professional gambler and then it become too  much difficult for them to stop gambling any more.
