How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.

This is how stupid people sometimes blaming others for their own problem , do gambling
sites forces you to gamble ? of course not instead they are just promoting their business and having
advertising but the decision is for ours to choose .
it is really sad to know that there are people that struggles in gambling but you are also the one that
can help your problem from it.

you can try to stay away from gambling, try it for 1 or 2 days and see how you react to it. if you fail several times in your attempts, keep trying until you can control yourself not to gamble. but if this method doesn't work, you can try talking to your parents or siblings about how your gambling addiction is quite serious, maybe they can provide a solution or send you to a psychologist for further examination. i hope that your addiction problem can be resolved.

Don't wait for a worst scenario before opening this up to someone who you trust and who you think can help you.
If you are already in a state of depression and thinking about suicide, its about time to seek personal help. Gambling can be very risky if you are too emotional, that's why its very important for every new comers to be more prepared not just on the money they are willing to lose but also to the emotion stress that gambling might give to you.

I have identified gambling as a death trap. Because gambling offers such a tempting offer that a gambler can never forget, because the gambling offer has made the gambler addicted. I can't break from gambling because I have been addicted for a long time, whenever I want to stop gambling I feel discomfort. I can't forget gambling even in the midst of work, even today I am addicted to gambling.

You're probably still in control of yourself because you're still able to confront it as a problem. By posting your problem here in bitcointalk and by admitting that you're being somehow manipulated into addiction and you play without plans and strategy, you know that something is wrong.

Other highly addicted gamblers are full of denials. They can only speak of praises in their gambling experiences and their luck even if the reality is that they're losing everything.

I believe you can put a stop at this madness. You can do it. You still have the control in you. Just stay away from it once and for all and enjoy doing something else.

This is not disorder, rather I would say this is addiction. You are addicted to gambling, and there are basic treatments for these which will help you to control the addiction. The best remedy is to spend time with your family. Talk with your children, or with your wife or with your parents. This will keep your mind diverted. Moreover set the finance’s control to someone responsible, so that they don’t give you money if you ask them. In this manner your gambling habit can be controlled upto a certain limit.

for sure OP you need some PROFESSIONAL help. Rehab? Prescription Drugs? Consultancies?
I don't know.
However, I think you're on the right way if you have identified a problem and you think a change is achievable.
Don't feel shy, don't feel guilty, go straight and fight properly you will win with the right approach.

Gambling disorder refers to the situation when a gambler becomes so mentally disturbed that he cannot free himself from the attraction of gambling. However, the addicted gambler cannot do it on his own, but if he gets the help of his relatives, he will certainly be able to get rid of this difficult situation. But of course in this case he will need social rehab, a good psychiatrist, and some medical consultant. But open discussion and emotional comfort with close relatives can play a very important role in this regard. However, if the addict is given recreational opportunities such as gardening, picnics, trips to the beach, and long trips where there is no gambling environment, there is no such thing as a gambling disorder.

By not overdoing it. When someone gambles too much, it will be difficult for them to controls themselves, which will cause them to becomes addicted, and if this happened every day, it will be increasingly difficult to stop. It is not easy to stoped gambling activities if they are addicted because they find it difficult to control themselves and to stop it is with intention and determination. We must be able to control our thoughts that gambling will only bring greater losses and these losses will not be able to be covered if we are too fall into addictions.

One way to calm you down is to stop, if you feels that gambling has started to make you feel anxious, tense and makes you think more and more, it is better to stoped your gambling. But if it is difficult for you to stop then use a more effective method to stop your gambling and reduce your expenses you slowly don't thinks about chasing losses because that will make you even more depressed with bigger losses.

There is no choice but to deal with it with yourself. You need to fight the temptation of gambling. Try to consider doing other things and make yourself busy. The fact that you were able to post here with your problem, means you can still manage to help yourself and get out of that temptation of pushing yourself to gambling.

You can do it mate, you need to help and force yourself to stop gambling whatever it takes.

Try not to gamble for a while, and don't think about returning to gambling so that you don't have the urge to gamble again. You need strong determination and effort to eliminate the desire to gamble again, which is not easy. You need to force your mind not to think about gambling, and if necessary, you can do other activities. Maybe you need to visit a professional to ask for help to overcome these feelings of depression and eliminate the desire to gamble again. It all lies in a strong desire to be able to leave gambling, but even if there is a desire, if you are not serious about doing it, you will probably return to gambling again.

This is the toughest problem for a gambler and until now the cases are still increasing. Dealing with gambling is not as easy as other things because it is very addictive and very difficult to stop. Going to a psychologist might help a little, but if you are careless or there are no other positive activities, gambling symptoms will appear again. There are always consequences for this problem and quite a few of them end tragically. So as much as possible avoid the dangers of gambling addiction because it is very bad for life.

All the things you are saying are okey and are logical for someone who is not still very deep into gambling addiction or someone who has a very big willpower to overcome the feelings and the cravings to continue to gamble. In my opinion, saying someone something like "try not to gamble" is not appropriate. Though, it is appropriate to tell them to seek professional help if they can.
If he cannot immediately get help from professionals, then the best shot for him would be to get in touch with people he can trust with his problem, and ask them for help to self-exclude from gambling platforms and find distractions off the world of gambling.

We must recall that addiction is not something which can be willfully controlled as some people imply, if someone is suffering from problem gambling, we need to assume such person has completely lost control over his desires and and will power.
If this was any other kind of addiction, you would not ask for him to embrace to his own willpower and desire to recover, wouldnt you?

You're having a serious encounter.

Go outside and keep yourself away from your devices if ever you're doing online gambling which is likely you're doing. Get some fresh air and enjoy the works of nature and its beauty.

That's one way to relieve that stress and depression that you're dealing, it's for free or might take you some money to travel somewhere else in your locality but I assure you that you'll have a better perspective about life.

Getting yourself that isolated with gambling is somewhat hard because we do have that technology today that it would really be that so easy for you to get that influenced or would really be in exposure.

You would really be that definitely be ending up on playing again and again. This is why it would really be that best that you should really be that avoiding as much as possible.
If you are really that serious on quitting gambling then you should really be that trying out to avoid as much as you could because if you arent that serious on quitting
gambling or stopping then it would really be just depending on you.

It would really be that impossible that you cant be able to do so if you are really that serious on stopping or having a break. You would be able to
notice up into yourself on what are the things that changed up on doing extreme engagement with gambling.

If the ones that I have mentioned still don't help him, then he may go to the main event help that he's needing and that's to just go to a professional for that help.

It is nice that he was vocal and admitted on what he's experiencing because someone who might also going through with it could have hard time in admitting it.

He needs to take care of himself and need necessary actions that has to be done properly.

gambling is a game that I have no prediction or accuracy because I know quite well that if you are addicted in gambling you will think that whatever thing that you are ready to believe be good to your prediction so I know quite well that what makes people to be addicted in gambling is because the one to recover whatever thing they have spent in gambling and they continue to gamble every time they think that maybe they will recover whatever thing they have played or they have spent in gambling but it is not like that I know quite well that the gambling before you win gambling is by luck

Obviously, gambling is free to everyone, so each person that chose to gambling has their different reasons. Which ranges from get quick rich syndrome, greed and money doubling. Both rich and poor gambling and there is a genuine reason for that.

Gambling is not just for money doubling and get rich quick it’s also for fun and if one is just to gamble for the profit and to get rich very quick then it could have been done with everything the person have and not just going in with a limited budget which when exhausted you call it a day for those who have self control, gambling is both for fun and to make profit if you get the fun out of the main purpose why people gamble you seems to turn gambling to an area where people can perceive and view it as some sort of Ponzi scheme which promises to double people’s money which at the end of the day those who entrust them with money end up losing it all.

Controlling the urge to gamble is not easy, but it is possible by taking some steps towards recovery. These are some tips that I found to be logical in cases of excessive gambling.
Find other activities that can be enjoyed instead of gambling.
Find ways to deal with stress in a healthy way.
Seek support from others. For example, it may be useful to obtain professional help from a therapist who specializes in treating addiction.
The most important thing is to understand why you want to gamble. Are you trying to escape from feelings or pressures? Are you looking for excitement or adventure? Once you understand why you want to gamble, you can start to find other ways to deal with negative emotions and setbacks.

Rehab seems to the the viable option for someone with such a compulsion to gamble which can attained from therapy sessions and which comes with a hefty price too, I advise you to talk to a counsellor who has expertise in these kinds of cases and let them take care your condition. Until that self exclude yourself from all the casinos you were playing which is cold turkey but the most effective in my opinion than going gradual decrease.

This is what I think also. It is what he needs at this time because no one's going to help him get out of it but only himself. But once he gets in to the rehabilitation either by home or by the center or clinic, he'll understand what he's going through right now.

He'll be able to get those sessions of healing and I think that it is going to help him a lot. I have not been into it but I have seen people that have been helped out by these therapy sessions when they can't take it anymore.

The condition that he's having right now is actually dangerous when he gets to think of ending his life, he needs to enter rehab or do something about it as soon as possible.

It's not the casinos or the bookies was at fault, ourselves as well can be counted as one to be at fault here. If you don't have control over how you react on certain things like betting then you need to find something else to be fond of, maybe gambling is not your thing. It will only get worse and you'll be broke more than ever, better stop and touch some grass for awhile.

My post made philipma1957 wear signature

The deed has already been done and there is no point advising you any further, all you need right now is help and your ability to identify the fact that you have a problem already that needs urgent solution is a good start. Many gamblers who are battling with addiction or other forms of gambling problems don't even know they have one unless family members and friends identify changes in their behaviours. Helping this set of people might be a bit difficult because they might act all defensive and reluctant to adhere to their healing routine.

You need to see a therapist. Help will not come if you do not give in your full coorporation. Try as much as possible to cut off all those things that trigger you to gamble. Are you triggered by the gambling wins? divert your attention to other sources of income. Get a different hobby and avoid isolation, you'll be fine at the end.
