Leaving is not easy when you are addicted, and I can tell that based on my experience.
Glad my addiction is not that serious, until now I am still gambling and I am enjoying it, you know I don't win most of the time but it's okay
as I have learned and have some improvement now, not in winning but the amount to loss, I'm proud to say I'm not losing like usual.

This should be on Gambling discussion.

Every gambler must play responsibly and it possible to some gamblers but impossible to addict gambler. I don't gamble that much nowadays as I only gamble when there a tournament for Dota 2. I do esports gambling now and left the conventional online casino as it makes me gamble every day. I find esport gambling much more convenient for me that regular gambling.
The convenience of each gambler will certainly be different, there is a gambler who is comfortable playing esport and there is also a comfortable playing dices. So that is the right of each gambler. A gambler must be able to choose the right way because then a gambler will not get pressure that can damage his life. So let's think smart and choose according to the abilities and comfort of each person.

If you take gambling as a fun then it is possible that you can gamble responsibly. If you are addicted in gambling then it would be difficult to control yourself and things can often go out of control.

Many of us have in some part of our life gambled our money/coins. Sometimes we win huge and sometimes we bust it all. We all have our reasons to gamble. For many, it is financial stress, for many its a hobby and for many its an addiction.

But when we gamble much, we justify ourselves that we are just trying to win and not addicted. But many of us know, that at some point we really do become addicted to it.

We always set a goal of winning and then even when we achieve it, we continue to gamble and gamble leading to bust of all balances sometimes.

However, many types of research and statistics show, that most gamblers gamble responsibly. I find this really contradictory to what I have experienced and observed.

I have played on many casinos and at one point I was really addicted to it and I busted much daily. I wanted to leave it entirely only to get attracted to it again. So, I picked up certain habits;

  • I set a fixed amount I will wager no matter if I lose or win.
  • I set a fixed amount of winnings after which I stopped gambling no matter even if I think I can win more.
  • The moment I busted or wagered or won my daily cap, I closed the site immediately and opened YouTube, played a movie/song I liked and drank a cup of coffee relaxing my mind.
  • If the temptation arises too much, I open a charity website immediately and donate a part of my winnings and pray a bit. The satisfaction sometimes overweighs the temptation and helps me calm.
  • If the temptation still doesn't go away, I open the casino site and play with zero amount bets or with the faucet to calm the desire.
  • After that I close my computer and go out, convert my coins to cash, give some to homeless people on street, buy myself a coke/snacks and play a sport or exercise.
  • After a tiring time, I come home and study and then eat and sleep. Not opening the computer till next day.

My advice is if you think you are addicted, don't try to leave it completely because it will attract you more. Try to limit it and divert your mind to a variety of hobbies and topics Smiley

Do share your strategies and efforts on how you control it and limit it if you are addicted Tongue
