Good advices, but certainly any advice will don't help if a person hasn't realize what he is aiming to be. It is easy to say however if you are in the persons place and state of mind it is not that easy to take this moments and for it to realize your life was been ruined or broke by your own gambling addiction. I remember when i was a gambling addiction any advice was only passing through my ears and go outside in the other side. You know that feeling that you heard them but you never ever mind what they are saying.

Yes it is true. Addicted gambler won’t listen and won’t take advices because what they usually do is to justify their mistakes and satisfy themselves with their vices. They are like so genius that they have answers in everything that we want them to see negatively. And even if they are going to lose everything they have even their loveones, it is not enough reason for them to quit. It will always be depend on themselves to realize how bad it is to make them quit.

Yes it must come to there mind then only they can listen our advises or else they don't care for our suggestions. when they will realise that they are losing money and loved once that time they only ask suggestions. I think addicted gamblers they cant control their emotions that's the problem once they start to control their feelings then slowly they will recover from this addictions.

Maybe others can help like relatives, friends, doctors, etc. but the only one that can really help you is none other than yourself. No matter what and how many encouragement they say, in the end, it's up to you. Depends on your dedication or determination.
Yeah they all can help you to retain your previous life. Once a gambler decides from leaving gambling, he must be welcomed. Plus not only welcomed in literally meaning, rather physical support must be given at utmost level. Like you have said, the doctors, brothers, sisters, family members and everyone else can be moral system for this gambler and he must be dealt softly.
Other people in gambler’s life like your family members, relatives and friends can help the gambler to leave gambling to some extent that he will become aware of the consequences of gambling and will start thinking that he is doing wrong and there is a probability that he will leaving gambling in his near future but for me consulting a proper psychiatrist is the best thing.
I think his relatives and other people in his life can’t help them to leave gambling for good as far as my knowledge is concerned. The thing that they can do is to make him aware of the consequences of gambling so that he leaves gambling as soon as possible but he has decided to continue as he things he will become rich with it someday which is totally a wrong thing.

Agreed.An addicted gambler may find it hard to really quit from the thing he used to do but with the help of all his loved ones around him,he will be able to do it in a faster process.Of course changes should start within himself,with all his focus and determination,and self-discipline to avoid gambling sites and learn to divert his time into other hobbies that will give him more positive views in life.
Not only hard, it will be close to impossible for him to leave gambling alone because it has become an addiction for him till that time and leaving addiction not only of gambling but also of other things need a proper treatment to be done. Gamblers have to take sessions with the psychiatrist in order to get rid of gambling and after doing this, they get cured.
There is no way that we can deny the facts that the ones who get into gambling can never get out of it and that it becomes impossible for them to quit it no matter how hard they try. It is better not to do any such thing as this will take away all your money from you and that you will then left with nothing in your pocket and inspire losing all your money, you will never be able to earn anything.

Oh no are you doctor bro. For gambling addiction you want to psychiatrist and other to help for rid off from the gambling addiction means I do not know what extend people you met in your life. I really love to gamble only on betting purposes.
Other than betting I will care or go with that. Then I gamble I do not look about win or loss. First I use to check the odds and team potential. Then go bet on the good team I believe. So 90 percent I win only 10 percent does not make any problem bro. So addiction just enjoyment.

Gamblers do have different personalities where they would either need assistance from their loved ones or totally select up to solve the problem on his own.Once addiction already controlled you getting out would really be hard seeking others help would be pointless if you arent still able to help out yourself first where this should took into consideration that you should be sensible to quit because once had set out its goal or motive and with self control this can actually be done without the help of others.

This is good advice, but I believe in my opinion advise is not enough. This is due to the person giving advise thinking that it’s easy to quit. However, they are not in the state of mind that the “addict” is in. I think the best way for someone to quit addictions is for them to experience a big hit. In gambling industry possibly, it being them losing lots. In drug addictions maybe, they get really sick or close to dying.

Nice article OP. Though,  I still think that gambling is not as bad as what most people view it as cause it mostly seems as a game of fine but as you know too much of everything is bad. The one big mistake that  most gamblers make  is the mistakes of becoming addicted into gambling because they don't know when to stop and also know when the game becomes intoxicating to them.
Gambling is a bad thing and thinking it a bad thing really is a good thing to every person who seems to be attracted towards gambling. It’s good that we know much about gambling because in future we would not have to suffer the consequences of gambling as most of the gamblers have to face. I agree with you that the mistake gamblers commit is to become an addict to it which leads them to great losses.


I wish so much I would have known 10 years ago.... Growing up in Atlantic City...  I am now excluded from 12 casinos in 3 different states,  Maybe it makes sense now why I am involved in cryptocurrencies..(No not for "investing")





I do get frustrated when I read other people's "Solution" on how to stop, i don't however hold it against them, It just means they aren't a gambler (which is a good thing!)

Because I promise, there's nothing someone on this forum will come up with, that I haven't tried many many times.....  I do always keep a very very tiny thought in the back of my mind, that some day, something will happen, and it will just end for whatever reason....   Anyway,   I wrote this hoping that gamblers who read the threads but dont post, might feel a little better

1st thing 1st , people should know that gambling addiction is a disease such as any other form of addiction and is curable .
As a former addicted gambler , i believe that addiction begins when you think about gambling the 1st thing in the morning after waking up , you don't think about studying/working/family/girlfriend .. no , you'll be thinking what games you'll bet on today and how much did you lost yesterday and how are you going to win it back.
How does it stop ? well , it depends on your self confidence and what you're made of , because taking such a decision and achieving it are two different things because you'll be constantly and continuously fighting temptations and you'll feel as if you were being strangled or deprived from air ..
The key to succeed in quitting gambling ? Strong will and good family/friends around you , medical care in the most extreme situations is also a solution .
Just to add as well, if you really wanted to quit, it should start from inside of you, admit it to yourself that indeed you are addiction and the second step is that admit it you needed help to finally stop this disease or addiction. Everyone has an addiction but it will really take a lot of mental discipline to really put a end into it. What if you are susceptible because that how your environment is in this first place. You need to have that mental toughness not to get tempted again to put that bet and get suckered around. I don't know about the mental care though, I don't think it will be effective as controlling and managing your demons inside of you.
No doubt that when the gambler himself will start blaming to him that the thing which he is doing is not good for him and his family also and he should better quit it for good sake. It is more likely that he will start hating gambling and maybe leave it in his near future. But when it becomes an addiction, then without concerning proper doctor or psychiatrist, he can’t be cured at any cost.

I could tell OP I have seen way too many addicted gamblers who gamble and lost huge amount of money to the casinos and resulting getting themselves into huge debts, I also find it useless to talk to them about quitting gambling as they never seems to listen to your advice, they would always tell you they will win back their money someday, I guess it is just way too difficult to talk to a gambler who is seriously addicted to gambling to quit.
The only way to recover from any kind of addictions is that they need to realize that they are addicted to it until that that there is no use of advicing them about it.But even after the realization it needs lot of works to get away wiith it and it is a slow and long time process.

The sign of gambling addiction if people can't control themself to play gambling even if no extra money
Difficult to stop gambling addiction is almost the same with drug addict need the family support to stop the gambling addicting, one of the best way to stop is focus to other activities specially family gathering bonding until they forget it.
can be with some therapy and support from family so you can really stop the gambling and the most important thing is your intentions of yourself that you really want to stop the gambling.

One of my friend ended up like this. Gamblers always have the idea that they have to get back what they lost from gambling itself again and again getting loan. He now have repay the gambling loan with his next 3 month salary only.

These kinds of gamblers want to become rich fast and they don't want to work hard for it instead want to find high-risk shortcuts like gambling. They also know that they are taking lot risk before taking a loan for gambling but they can't control their addiction so they go for it. Gambling actually meant only for entertainment but we all use it wrongly to earn fast money.

and look what happened to him, now he have to work harder to pay for his loans such a pathetic move of a gambler. Gambling is not that easy, because your emotion can be your greatest enemy when it comes to decision making. Gamblers may win sometime but they will surely lose the money and they will be broke if they continue to do the same thing.

But its really difficult for most pathological gamblers to admit to themselves that they are addicted and need professional help. And its too late if we see someone snaps at the last moment and ended up dead because they didn't like to be help by others not even his families. Its one of the most hardest addiction to quit together with smoking and alcoholism which relapses might occur during your bouts of trying to get rid of it in your system. But gambling is different because the worst thing can happen is that the gambler ended his life or took others lives.
