If a gambler wants to quit gambling, he or she will have to put in a lot of effort. It takes discipline, willpower and determination to do this.
Gamblers who quit gambling may return to it again. Therefore, you need to work on yourself, on your emotions, on your thinking. This is a very difficult and long process.

What is important in this situation is your willingness to take that hardship and seriously taking care of it no matter what, your opinion is valid, if you can surpass that one day without gambling then it's also possible to increase to a week then extend it to a month just to prevent yourself to any form of gambling, I like that idea of bringing yourself to a gym or to a yoga sessions, it will help you to keep being busy and not to think of anything about gambling.

If you are really willing to quit away, there's always a way, but if your willingness is not true for sure, you will always find a good reason why
you keep coming back.

I disagree with your analogy bud, gambling addiction has nothing to do with the human blood, else, a gambler will easily get addicted as long as the love and continue to gamble for a very long time, I personally love it and I have been gambling for so many years now, and here am I, I am not an addict, in-fact, I can go a week, a month without gambling if I so desire, and i wont feel any urge to gamble until I decide to gamble again.

what I am trying to explain to you is that gambling addiction is a formed habit, a formed habit has nothing to do with the blood, it is commonly said that what ever has a beginning must surely have an end, the same the same way a gambling addiction habit is formed in the human brain, it can also be dissolved if the victim work put in the effort required to get the habit dissolved.

When addicted to gambling, it works in a way that seems to mix with the blood.  Just as blood cannot be removed from the body, it is difficult for them to give up gambling. That is why gambling has to be controlled from the beginning so that it cannot control our-self. Management of animals is very difficult so we have to be careful in all directions otherwise we can't get into a good position. And we have to take responsibility for our own losses

However, the player must be able to stop even if he finds it difficult because it is for his own good and that of his family. He can't use the budget for his family because it can disrupt his family's finances. Maybe he can talk to family members so they can help him overcome his gambling addiction problem while accompanying him to go to a therapist. But this requires openness from the person to tell the truth about what happened to him. But the average person addicted to gambling will not tell others that he is addicted to gambling.

True, he needed a longer vacation than usual because he had been gambling for too long, and maybe he could enjoy his moments of rest with the long vacation. But it's even better if he can get the winnings from gambling so he doesn't have to think about the expenses for his vacation. And after sufficient rest, he can return to gambling and resume his activities. But it's better for him not to gamble anymore and to start his life by creating new activities that are not related to gambling. It would make him leave gambling for good.

At least, we have to prevent ourselves from getting addicted like that player so that we can still play gambling as usual and don't have to worry if we get addicted. It does take time to reduce gambling addiction, but every gambler deserves it and needs to learn to be a responsible gambler when playing gambling. And because gambling has temptations that can draw the gambler deeper and deeper, that is why by having a responsibility, we can prevent those temptations from affecting us.

As long as they can have a responsibility while playing gambling and have the ability to control their emotions, they can just try it. But they must know that it is not easy because of the temptation of gambling that can make them keep coming back to gambling.

And it is true that in playing any gambling, we must rest after playing gambling for a while. That is to reduce tension during gambling and prevent loss of responsibility during gambling later. And it's better to play gambling in moderation so that we don't experience anything bad after we finish gambling.

Theirs one my thread I made i stated it that gambling addict is like someone who some virus is running through the blood vessels, and you very well that anyone a virus touched the blood it will be very difficult before the virus will be flushed out of the blood, the way I'm seeing addicted gambler I don't think that someone can stop a gambling addicted person not to pertake in gambling, the only thing I said before now is that you can move the person to a place it can not see opportunity to gamble.

What you say it is true, there are many aspiring poker players which want to make a living out of it, and while it is possible they do not realize how hard it is, on most jobs even if they can be quite intense you still have some moments of relaxation here and there.

But poker is not like that, you need to keep your concentration for tens of hours each day, every day, without rest, and a single moment of doubt can be enough to produce high losses, in fact I would say this is probably the biggest hurdle for aspiring poker players, as remaining concentrated for so long is not an easy feat at all.

This is too excessive and we need to make sure that we keep working on ourselves anytime we noticed that we are spending too much time gambling. Gamblers are nit meant to be addictive to gambling, we need to have a sense of understand and moderate way of gambling unless we might keep making the same mistake over and over again. We need to be responsible as a gambler so that those that are learning from us will be moderate in the way they gamble. There is spirit behind gambling and if we are not careful enough, we might become an irresponsible gambler that we don't ought to be.

Whenever a person has family by their side, friends, it is a blessing, but there are people who have no family and few friends, sometimes these things when it comes to friends can help a lot, but there are people who are very lonely, no I know if a lonely person realizes his addiction, maybe yes and I look for a quick solution, for the very reason that he is alone because he does not want to have a bad time and that is why if necessary he seeks professional help although I imagine that it is the first period of the addicted player is in Non-Acceptance, although it is something very common and that is understandable, any player likes to look good and not with a problem thanks to the casino or sports betting.

That's because addicted gamblers exhibit symptoms and patterns of behavior that is similar to someone who is suffering from Depression. The seclusion, the lack of motivation to do anything besides what they are most acquainted, which in this case is gambling. They feel ashamed of what they do which is also a definitive reason of why they keep to themselves as what you said. The thing is, and this is true for most of the cases where people who are addicted to gambling is involved, intervention is needed like 90% of the time. You can't just ask and addicted gambler if there's something wrong cause they'd lie about it, so actually taking the initiative and giving them the help they need even if they say "they didn't want it" is going to be helpful and pivotal to their recovery.

Undoubtedly, support and communication on these topics from loved ones is one of the best medicines. The other side is that in most cases gambling addicts do not tell anyone about it because they are ashamed.

Close relatives will find out only after the gambler loses a lot. And even after that, he can be silent. Even I, who am well acquainted with such problems, can not immediately see it in a person. What to say about those who do not even know about such problems, for example, parents who are already in old age. I want to urge everyone to be attentive to their friends and relatives, perhaps you will save them at the right time.

I know that in gambling it is not possible to always been winning and win again after a successive win.

There must be a point you will get to and you start losing and that is so much natural. Even in Bitcoin some people will think that the price of Bitcoin will keep going up but at a point after going up for some certain time, it will start coming down.

So when someone is hitting nice streaks, it is advisable to pause and have a rethink before continuing to play with a very limited budget.
But then I feel that some experts have a better way to escape this speculative scenario

Yesterday I watched a video about a guy addicted to gambling telling his story about how he got rid of addiction. As often happens in such interviews, he decided to hide his face behind a mask and change his voice.
So he shared that almost never a dependent person will go to the clinic himself. The problem is always first recognized by their loved ones and sent to the dependent for treatment. And often the addict himself does not recognize the habit of playing for a long time, he pretends that he realized, but only about the third time when he is sent to the clinic, the dependent person begins to understand that he must accept the fact that his addiction is already controlling him.

I agree that it is possible to stop it in an instant but I believe there could be a heavy reason why that gambler instantly stop doing gambling. Like myself, my addiction didn't stopped instantly as I've face so much struggle like withdrawals when I try to stop instantly. In my case, it takes some time before I manage to fully control myself and stop doing gambling whenever I want. We have different scenarios and situation, it depends on the gambler on how they will value things that are important to them and if they are willing to change and remove their addiction.

Addiction can be totally stopped in some situations, but it depends on the decision of the person involved. You know that there are some people who get addicted to something, but they themselves don't even realise it, and if another person tries to caution them, they will begin to get angry. But there are also some people who, even when they are doing something wrong, still have that sense of understanding that what they are doing is actually bad. Those kinds of people are likely to change if their cases are well handled, but it can be very hard to change someone who doesn't even accept their addiction behaviours. Those are the kind of people who need a professional mentalist to handle them, but for the other group, they can still take advice from their loved ones, and if the advice is persistent, then they might easily change.

It is absolutely certain that the best solution to such a problem for such a player would be a complete refusal to further participate in any gambling.  However, far from all people can do this, especially if problems have already begun in the family due to too much loss and due to the fact that the player began to use the family budget money necessary for the normal life of all family members, children, of course, first of all  .  If such a player could not stop playing before such gambling costs, then it will be very difficult to recover further.  Because such an addiction is definitely already a disease, and without a doctor and medicines, most likely he will not be able to recover without outside help.

I would say that in the case of such results in the game of such a professional, you should not just take some kind of regular vacation for two weeks or a month.  You need to take a much longer break from gambling.  Well, like half a year.  For half a year without gambling in a person’s life, a lot will change in any case, and a return to such professional activity will be more favorable and effective in terms of winnings, for the reason that during the specified period he will not completely forget his skills and abilities as a professional player and easily  will restore them.  But a long break will really "clean his brains" more effectively.

Breaking the routine is sometimes necessary, and if gambling has become part of your routine, it's important for you to take a break. Start by taking a day off, and then gradually increase the gap between gambling sessions. If you've been gambling every day, skipping it for even one day can be challenging and require a lot of willpower. Therefore, it's a good idea to start taking care of your body, such as by going to the gym or learning yoga. This can become a positive addiction with many benefits. This is just a suggestion and sometimes people are able to take a gap without doing other activities to break the routine.

He should have known he had a family to support so he wouldn't have taken such a risk. That is the same as taking risks beyond what he can afford so that he falls into the trap of gambling even though he is a professional who should have better abilities than other people. And if he really regrets it, he should really find a therapist who can help him get out of his gambling problem and not gamble for the rest of his life might be a good solution for him.

And it turns out that a gambling professional can also experience something as bad as that, which turns him into a gambling addict. This was really worrying for her, so she had to quickly seek help from the people around her, to help her out.

He forgot about rest, which everyone needed, not just those who gambled a lot. After all, resting would lower his emotions, especially since he had been gambling for so many hours that his emotions could peak at any time. If he could rest, maybe he wouldn't experience what he said, and he could still gamble with better self-control.

Every one of us here have different experience  involving addiction in anything in life and yes once you are in the addict mode you can not say that you can leave that thing easily and also once you want to quit then there's a process about it you should fight your mind and greediness before you can fully achieve your goal in life that you want to quit gambling or quitting in your addiction.

The break is really needed. At least in order to disperse the flow of blood to the brain and other reasons. Apparently he was simply absorbed by the excitement of this marathon. It's safe to say that he failed. But what was my surprise when he announced a new marathon today, and he set the conditions there that he would easily complete the last one. This is to make him feel confident again when he does it. And this will heal his moral wounds from the last marathon.
