Topic: Easy or hard to quit? - page 11. (Read 2411 times)

It's just that you have to be in moderation about everything.

If you have a headache you can take a tablet of analgin and the headache will go away. If you take too much analgin, in the most difficult situation you can get paralysis of the respiratory muscles and die from it.

If you like to eat good food but are unable to control the amount you eat, you will eventually develop obesity problems that will eventually lead to more serious illnesses.

If you don't know how to stop gambling at the right moment, then over time you will become a gambling addict.

It's very simple and this list can go on as long as you want. You need to know how to limit yourself and then everything will be fine.

The matter is always the control, control of emotions, and how it goes with regard to gambling activity. If we can't control it anymore, we can't also control ourselves on how we're going to quit. But if you've got an inch of control over everything, quitting is easy. You know your priorities and you're all set to gamble a few times then go back without any emotional attachment to it. There are gamblers that are like that, they're coming for fun and setting boundaries, and if they wanna quit because they've got too many things to do then they'll do it.

If you wont be able to change up that mindset then you wouldnt really be quitting gambling anytime soon but rather you would really be continuing on doing this until you do fucked up yourself until the very end.

This is why you should really be that sensible and be wary about your actions because if you are really that still on your own perception and senses then you would be able to find out that it is really just way too risky
if you decide to continue on playing gambling or spending tons of money on such thing.It is really just good for leisure but on the time that you are already going past your border line or limits
then this is where things turns out to be a problem. It might not really be that too easy to quit but it all fall down into someones mindset because if you do tell into yourself
that you would be quitting for good then you can really do it. Although it would really be mattering with that full discipline and strong will on doing so.

If you see from someone who just started or when you are still in the initial stage, then found a decent victory, surely he will continue to play despite having a limit, I think more precisely like that, but those who just start then always experience defeat in gambling will It's always easy to stop.
You already have a limit, but you can't stop doing gambling, I think it is a step and a consciousness in yourself, and it seems you hold the principle of limiting gambling you previously planned.
Maybe you need to do an advanced level, which used to limit gambling for the daily daily to be the limit for weekly, for example (you previously limits the amount of gambling fund for the daily, then you decorate a week to 3-5 days a week, and so on, up to the point Once a month, every three months, until you forget to gamble.
You are already great, but you seem to need further action sir.


To overcome people who are addicted to need serious treatment if you want him to stop, it is difficult to do it if from himself, it needs to be external encouragement, by limiting it from activities close to gambling, and making him busy with work.
But if the addict can still measure himself, and manage his gambling well and nothing is harmed by him, why should forbid someone to seek pleasure.

True, when it comes to addiction it can be extremely difficult to overcome as it requires strong dedication from the gambler as well as time. However, for a casual gambler who does not have a severe addiction quitting can be a matter of personal choice. They may decide to quit when they face losing streaks or when they encounter financial or family problems, and so on.

Long story short, if a gambler still maintains control over their gambling habits there is a big chance that they can distancing from it, but if they lose control over themselves it becomes significantly harder to do so imo.

Several times I got maxwin but for me it was not a large amount even though my friend thought it was a large amount.
The third time I got it and at that moment I stopped playing slots because I had made a promise to myself and I listened to that promise to a friend.
I managed to get a profit or win of about 30% after I counted the amount of deposits I made while playing.

Still. Until now, they still gamble, but not on slots, but sportsbook betting.
Betting on this type of sportsbook is just a hobby of football. Even in club matches.

Something that stuck inside the mindset and will continue to dominate if the person itself is unwilling to accept help
coming from other people who are caring for them.

That said scenario is a reality that happened in gambler who keep pushing his luck to achieve success, trying to win to pay loans.

but instead of stopping after reaching the amount, greed will follow and will push them to play more and
again the money will lose and they need to keep repeating without changing anything.

On the contrary it is debt repayment that makes an addict stick tight with the notion of trying his luck harder to repay. If you ask most addicts in gambling the reason for not stopping, they tell you that they are indebted and will stop soon when they repay. They promise to stop and give you timeframe but when that time comes they still tell you another date. Addiction is a serious habit that people may not be able to stop until they get help.

People need to understand that gambling is not something that can improve the financial status of their family or themselves but it is just a luck-based thing where you might win sometimes when you are lucky but you will lose more in the long run, and winning in gambling cannot be constant, you may lose $20 today but you are most likely going to lose $40 the next day, or the day after that, so having high expectations from gambling is useless as that will only hurt you at the end of the day.

So it's better if someone doesn't ruin their lives and lose everything they have only in trying to earn a living for themselves and their family because once you get addicted to gambling, it is too difficult to get out of it and you won't stop until you have sold and used everything you own in gambling.

A person can be called a professional only when he is an expert in that task and adapts himself to it and continuously derives benefits from it while dealing with losses. So even in gambling, that person is a professional who controls himself, is able to avoid loss and gain profit, and knows all the tricks of gambling. Professional gamblers are able to withdraw themselves from gambling and avoid panic gambling when they see that their strategy is not working well and they are losing.

Your personal tale offers profound lessons in navigating the rocky path to conquering a gambling addiction, illuminating the criticality of self-reflection and self-restraint in regulating such compulsive actions.

You underscored a noteworthy fact about addicts being blind to their own losses. This mirrors the cognitive distortion termed 'loss chasing,' leading gamblers to a downward spiral of escalating losses while trying to recoup previous ones.

Your analogy of challenges to unaddressed tasks is insightful. Much like unattended problems can snowball, so can gambling addiction. Thus, it's critical to intervene early in gambling issues before they root deeply, triggering extensive emotional, financial, and health costs.

An addict can change if he has found his saturation point in playing gambling where he feels frustrated never getting any wins and lots of debts which he has to pay off, usually gamblers like that will stop on their own and don't need advice, because with him not getting the way out of all the problems the only way is to stop and solve all the problems.

But for ordinary gamblers it will be easy to stop gambling at any time, sometimes they usually don't gamble every day and only gamble on certain days so they can't be said to be addicts, it's easy for them to stop whenever they want because of course they have hobbies or other jobs that can help keep oneself away from gambling.

I agree, if you still have that control the chance of moving away is still possible and you'll not go deep with your gambling activities, it's very important to continue having that dominance inside yourself, if you lose that control the chance of getting addicted is really possible, I follow you with that sentiment that gambling is an expensive vice, make sure that you can control and have that good stop when you already reach your pick or your set target both with your winnings and losing amount.

It's totally not that addicted as long as you know you boundaries and limits in that field, there's nothing wrong with gambling honestly especially if you're just looking at it as a kind of entertainment where you can blow off some steam after long days of work. That's why a lot of people are also calling gambling as the most expensive form of entertainment as money will come and go in this industry. Same thing with people who are chasing for money inside casinos, there are some who are successful in doing that in which they are called professional gamblers.

Of course it is very easy if gamblers can stop their gambling habit if they continue to accept defeats in gambling. But for people who are addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to stop... because it has become their habit. every week or even monthly to improve his family's economy.. it's impossible for him to stop..

Sounds like you have very good financial control. I have a friend who spends a lot of money on gambling sites. He almost spent all his money and assets. This friend of mine used to be a young man who was quite successful, had enough savings and some land assets. But now it's all gone, the last time I met him he had no money saved, his land has been sold and now he has a bank loan in $300/month installments

Gambling is very dangerous for people who do not have good financial control. I occasionally gamble, but only for fun. Hopefully I can still control my finances and not become a gambling addict

I'm grateful for taking essential discipline steps that have kept me going today, I never thought I would escape the gambling proceeds. I would simply urged addicts to admits to their flaws and finds better way to relieve addiction towards out of their minds. Addiction sucks; it understands a gambler's lifestyle, and they have no idea what's going on with the losses in their life; they even gamble harder when they face losses. We meet challenges; some of us solve them, while others leave them unresolved; and as time passes, the challenges become more tough. Everything has a price, and you must always be prepared to equal the tasks ahead in order to stop gambling.

If we go bankrupt because of gambling, then we can be sure that we are people who are addicted to gambling and cannot control what we should control. I only gamble with extra money, or money that I really don't use and that is the rest of the money I have spent on the necessities of life, savings, investments and others so that when I lose (and indeed often lose) it doesn't interfere with my existing finances. other. Most gamblers go bankrupt because they can't control it and they even play with what is intended for other needs, so when they lose they will have trouble and in the end make loans to replace money to meet the needs of the money they spent on gambling.

As you can see, gambling is something that, even if you're not addicted to it, whenever you win even a small amount of money, you'll be willing to return to the next game and wager more than the money you initially bet by your self, believing you will receive a significant amount of money. Likewise, if you still lose, you will still go back and wager on the following game, believing you will win. In my opinion, gambling can only be simple for someone who is not yet addicted to it to stop


Even though I'm not addicted to gambling, I have definitely lost more money playing than I have ever won. Despite this, I still gamble to this day, though I'd like to quit at any time. I can stop, but sometimes I just think of it as something I'll do for fun.

Yeaa... Gambling has a very big addiction. Even though we know that when we start spending money on gambling, the chances of losing are greater than winning. But we still gamble. Even though we also know that gambling does not make us rich (if anything, very few people), there are many people who lose and go bankrupt from gambling.

It is very difficult to get out of the gambling circle. Do we have to go bankrupt before we can get out of the habit of gambling? i think it is a bad choice
