Topic: Gamble Responsibly - page 20. (Read 11130 times)

What if I told you that I had gone through these things before but have managed to reduce them even though I could only reduce them slowly and am still trying now? It's not easy and takes time but I really want to reduce my gambling time and it is a very very very difficult process for me. But it worked for me because I looked at my family and told myself that I really wanted to get rid of that addiction and start with myself. Prayer, desire, and effort are needed to achieve your desires and it requires time and faith to do it. You have to believe that you can do it and do it well.

And this is what I worry about when the addict chooses to be alone and becomes an introvert. He was too absorbed in the gambling he was doing which made him unable to know the outside world other than the world of gambling and this was something bad where he isolated himself. And I've also met people like this, where they just stay in their room, when they leave the room they only go to eat and go to the bathroom, and when they leave the house they only go to top up their balance. And what's worse is that he is still a teenager and still relies on money from his parents.

I understand you, but it is easy to say than action. Have you been addicted to anything and tried to come out from the addiction of the thing. Let me say you are a womanizer, or drugs addiction and you were trying to leave those things? My brother it is not easy to come out oh!! I have heard and seen people testified in church how they managed left the addiction lifestyle of a particular thing they were frequently doing. It takes time before those things eliminated from their life. And before those things leave the person there must be some spiritual intervention, either prayers which is the most important one must be done and also the person action towards those things will be reduced. The person will not visit the casinos both online or physically sportsbooks.

I really do agree to this one, i think besides of that, Major Online Casinos praise Responsible Gaming all the time, but they are not really drawn to this. In fact a lot of users are beeing treated without any respect.

Yah, I agree with you bro. Stopping gambling can be done if you really are determined to change. We know it's really hard but if you really want to stop gambling you have to be strong, there are many things you can do besides gambling. Also, you are not alone, you have a family and friends that will help you when you need it.
You can get through that as long as you believe in yourself

That is a real example shown by your friend who was previously an addict. An addict can change his gambling habits by doing other activities and even though it seems slow, he can still do it until he can finally stop gambling. If there is awareness of a gambling addict who no longer feels any benefit from gambling, he will start other activities so that he does not return to gambling and your friend has done the right thing. And it will be up to each person to overcome his gambling activities.

I also still gamble but not too often and try to divert my attention from gambling so as not to gamble too often. Yes, a gambler must be responsible with his gambling activities so as not to cause problems and we should also do other things to help us divert our attention from gambling.

If the gambler goes back and forth to the casino, they may find it difficult to reduce their gambling habit because the offers at the casino can tempt them. And they won't stop easily, especially after seeing this tempting offer. There is a possibility that they will think about trying the offer and gambling again one last time. But instead of it being the last time, they ended up at the casino for a while and spent all their money.

But if they are truly determined to reduce their gambling, they will not look back after deciding to stop gambling. They will leave the casino immediately and won't be there for some time. They better calm themselves down for a while and busy themselves with other things.

That is why if someone really wants to stop gambling, he must have a strong determination and no longer hesitate in his decision. He must be able to achieve what he wants and will not just give up because he really wants to stop gambling. But if that person cannot get the enthusiasm to stop gambling, he will not stop or even reduce his gambling activities because he still wants to gamble again. That is really not an attitude that should be shown by a gambler who wants to stop gambling because he is still interested in gambling.

And before we experience it, we must be truly responsible for everything so we don't jump into this activity without self-control. We must control our emotions and not play gambling for too long so that no temptation can make us stay in the casino longer.

Yeah, if the desire to quit is stronger inside no matter what the person will push it to happen, not easy as if it is that easy maybe we will see fewer people who will be engage and be addicted, most might quit before addiction take place but once you engage yourself and you already entertain the pleasure, most of the time you got out of control with your decision making.

Being responsible is something that needs to work out before stepping yourself into this activity. If you know by yourself that you
are not that good at controlling your emotion it's best not to take this route and find other things to entertain yourself.

If the wife advises her husband to stop, it might not always work because he might just listen to her without taking any action (refusing). But a more plausible way to make them quit would be to address the economic crisis in the family due to gambling. For the beginning of gambling maybe yes they look fine, but look at what will happen in the next few days or months I am very sure that there will be an economic crisis that occurs there, such as a lack of money for their living needs, and of course with that I think it will be able to deter her husband, and he will think that what his wife has said is true that this gambling will only add a lot of problems. So it is not impossible for them to stop but they will feel the impact first over time and when the family's economy is completely destroyed then there they might stop by reducing their bad habits.

I think maybe her husband will take better action because of course they will definitely prefer to save their family relationship rather than constantly chasing winnings from gambling which clearly only worsens the situation.

In my opinion, all the gamblers who go back and forth to casinos are trying to change or reduce their passion for it, but most of them are just having a hard time, so they can't just avoid playing gambling. especially if they feel that they might be lucky on this day, for sure they will find a way to actually play.

But if they are really determined to reduce it little by little, they can do it as long as they really want 100% because they will do it in a way that is for sure, because that is all that is needed, and they will fight against ourselves because it is our mortal enemy in fact.

Well often I hear some gamblers including people closest to me who have been addicted and they want to stop doing that activity because indeed on the other hand they have exhausted almost all of their property, they say that every day always feels like torture with a lot of pressure and not to mention the loan sharks who always collect debts. I have suggested several times that the best way to quit is to slowly reduce your gambling budget and limit your gambling time, just like your friend who has managed to get out of the addiction zone. Because it is true that for an addict to be able to stop it seems impossible if they can only stop in an instant, and the only way is as we discussed here, namely by reducing everything in it slowly.

As we know that an addict is certain that his mind will always be disturbed by the many temptations there, and they even respond to these temptations with high hopes and abitions, it is clear that in the end it will definitely sink. By reducing it is one of the alternatives that I think is the best, well I understand it might take a long time but it doesn't matter than you keep losing money there, indirectly surely one day you will feel bored and think that it is really useless.

Well that's better my friend, basically this activity is just for fun and filling spare time on days off work, if you do it like this then I say you are a normal gambler by coming just to fill the time, and with that I say you are a responsible gambler and wise enough to know what you have to do so as not to be lured by the many temptations there, this is better my friend than you continue to spend time on this uncertain activity.

If you look at the experience of a friend of mine who used to be an addict, we can now stop gambling completely and even then he couldn't just stop gambling, he slowly reduced it gradually over several years until finally he felt gambling was boring and useless. In the end he was able to stop. gamble and switch to other professions or hobbies that are more positive and make money for him, but there is also a friend of mine who can't stop gambling but he can reduce it and only play on weekends.

I also don't stop gambling and only gamble on weekends because on weekdays I work so my mind doesn't constantly invite me to gamble, so the point is that gambling must be responsible and wise so as not to become an addict, because it is difficult to cure a person's bad habits. addict, don't let that happen to you so do another job so you don't use it entirely for gambling.

If the gambler can accept the fact that gambling is not a good thing for him and realizes that he is too deep into gambling and there is a strong desire to reduce his gambling activities and even stop his gambling activities, he will want to try to get out of gambling. No matter how hard it is, he will try and have many options to start changing so he will do other things to start diverting his mind about gambling. He will do his best because he really wants to cure his gambling addiction and try to stop his gambling activities. And even if he later returns to gambling, he can be a responsible gambler and will gamble in moderation.

Gambling for fun may be one of the less considered aspects of gambling and lately,  a lot of attention has been shifted to making money out of gambling which have made the fun aspect of gambling to look like a waste of time,  although casino contributed to this also,  because some games doesn't require any mental effort from the player just like spin,  all you need to do is to roll the wheel to win or lose.

So such games take away the fun aspect of gambling and also a lot of other factors alike,  but also we have to put in measures that will secure our excitement at any point by selecting games that eas tax our brain to ease up stress at some point.

Sometimes, I don't take enough rest every 24 hours, and sometimes, if it requires me to do a lot of calculative work, I don't usually perform very well. Instead, I can just repeat some kind of mistake repeatedly, but I wonder how some people say they gamble to ease off mental stress while they might just end up losing a lot of money. Often times too, I think there are people who only gamble and waste money all in the name of fun (could that be correct) so, any time they are depressed or emotionally down, they just see gambling as something that can ease off the depression, so they just visit the casino and waste some money.

I can hardly relate to this situation. Years ago, I am not gambling responsibly. I borrowed money from my friend just to gamble because I have no money left, but it turned out that I have lost it due to addiction.

I did fulfilled my promise to repay him after receiving my salary. But I feel guilty of myself for borrowing money just to gamble. It was one of those lessons that I would never forget.

Right now because I’ve got enough money to sustain, I only committed a very few percentage of it in either gambling or sports betting. I learned how to control even though I do have win streaks.

Risk management is really necessary especially in online gambling.

Even though the wife of the gambler it can't be stop her husband to quit in gambling as we all know that some wife are dint know what is the habbit of thier husband so the addict are unstoppable once it will not caught by wife or other person around him. So it's a big  options to us that know the way or the habit of our love one so that we will know what's next we do. Cause nowadys there are many addict act like not but in the end they will regret it.

It's how they will take that realization about mistakes and how they will do everything to correct and forget about doing it again and again, we all know that over spending time and money leads to losing a lot and can turn you to a gambling addicted individual, with your self-will the chance to correct this mistake can be done, not easy but not impossible at all, there are experienced gamblers who manage to escape from this situation and able to wisely use the venue as both source of entertainment and if luck permits they will make some money out from their gambling activities.

Well, basically if the gambler wants to quit then no one else can help them, even though some of the people closest to them may always advise them to quit but it will still be useless if the gambler is not interested or willing to quit. The point is true that it will come back to each gambler, they can stop even totally if indeed the will comes out of themselves and strong intentions from the heart, you may have entered into addiction and as we know the temptation when you are already an addicted gambler is very heavy, almost every time they always think about how they can win to restore losses in the previous time, but believe me that all the temptations whatever is there you can pass if there is firmness and your determination to stop. It's actually that simple, but it's quite difficult to do because most of them just talk without taking any action there.

Usually they (gamblers) will think and be encouraged to stop when they have completely run out of everything and are really down with the situation due to defeat, and there they will only think that this activity is pointless and only adds a lot of new problems to come. I'm sure there will always be a better way for them to do it if they really want to quit.

Yes 100% agree with you mate stoping in gambling is can be done once that addict person has a determination to leave in the world of gambling cause it'l depends on a gambler if he need to adjust and accept the fact that gambling is not a good habit then he will try his best to leave in the gambling worlds there are many options or way to leave he must have another thing to become happy so that he won't remember to gamble anymore.

Indeed, stopping gambling can be done, but it will depend on how strongly a person intends to stop gambling because not many people can do it. Maybe they say they want to stop gambling and have prepared many things that they hope will help them stop gambling. But in reality, they still put it off and instead, say tomorrow I will stop gambling and in the end, they don't stop gambling. Stopping gambling means they have other activities that can divert their attention to gambling so they can be busy doing other things. As long as their desire is still strong to stop gambling, they can do it and no matter if it's hard, they can get through it.
