Topic: Giving up gambling is not easy - page 15. (Read 55017 times)

I don't think step by step is going to work you need to stop it for once nowadays from what i have noticed is gambling sites are introducing so many offers daily like most wagered when these offers show up it makes makes the gambler to return again and becomes hard to control

Be scared if gambling became your habit, because I vould assure you that only worst thing will happen to you, you're going to start losing your money, friends, and even your loves ones if you're going beyond addiction. Giving up gambling is not that easy if you are going to quit it in an instant, I think it is better if you are going to do it step by step.

Habits like gambling, smoking are very much dangerous because these things are highly addictive. Anything that gives you pleasure and relaxes you is addictive in nature. People do gamble to reduce their stress and enjoy their leisure time. You really need some medical support to give up on gambling.

Ofcourse changing your routine or hobby will take time and you are correct the only way for you to change is help yourself doing it. You have to look for motivation so that you will be successful in what you do.

If one person got addicted in gambling and wanting to stop its hard to make is quickly, its need to have step by step or little by little yo make it true but you do not need totally change your life.
At first just lessen the capital and play in gambling(set a limitation)
Second is try not to access gambling site if it is online if offline dont go there.
Third is just think other things to do or make your day very busy in other things.
I think if you can do that you can stop gambling or even lessen it.

Nuno find a new hobby that will not lead to loss of money or you can play gambling on a demo account to enjoy the process, but do not lose money. And it is even better to invest in gambling sites in order to constantly make a profit.

Indeed, Changing yourself is not instantly be happen. It takes time or there is a process before you totally change. Then it can be change only if you will help yourself to lessen your habit or hobby as well as until you reach the peak of totally disappearing of your vices in gambling.

You are right but the good thing is you are telling to yourself that you need to stop. Self-awareness is a big help for a person that wants to change and stop gambling for good. You have to fight it and don't let it consume you and make the first step before it's too late.

that mindset, the way i see it, only serves to further one's attachment to gambling and eventually converts them to addicts. personally, i think it's more important to set limits for yourself going into something like gambling, and adhere to those limits you set for yourself strictly. i think people take way too lax of an attitude with gambling, which i can't understand. you're playing with your money, and i think that fact alone dictates you need to take a more serious attitude regardless of the amount involved.

the religious zealots like to inject their beliefs into any and all conversations and topics to make their beliefs relevant to themselves, just ignore it.

That's a better decision but like they say it's not easy to quit gambling, we still have that optimism that somehow we can win back our loses and then we quit and the more we are fighting for that to happen the more we are engaged with gambling. Some people do realizes early and were able to quit but there are people who will suffer a bad fate in gambling and are force to quit because they already lose everything.

Giving up on gambling especially if you've lost a great deal is not eady at all and will require a conscious effort from your side to completely quit. You can replace it with another time consuming activity else just spend your time with family or on a recreational activity.

Im sure atleast everyone has religion. Even when they claim that they are atheist, they know that it is wrong to gamble but we still gamble right ? we dont follow the rules and we keep gambling, when we are addicted then it is going to be hard for us to get out of it. We keep on not wanting to quit until we realize that it is too late to quit

Giving up addiction is really a difficult thing to do especially when you're bankrupt as a result of your addiction. There's nothing stopping you and sonid just recommend a complete stay away from gambling and then replace your gambling life with some activity or engagement with friends and family in a conversation in order to pass time.

yes you can not really make your faith as your reason to stop and quit gambling if you have no good attitude to obey every single rules which has been there before you get started to gamble , you have broke it all already.

be a good person in your daily life and then you could make it as a reason to quit.

Religion is nothing but a bunch of principles and faith. You may claim that you have no religion but you cannot say that you do not have some principles or rules in your life. All those rules that keep us safe make our religions and we follow them. That's all. Some people may not play gambling because they think it is harmful and it is while some religions prohibit it and safe the person beforehand, without trying.

Why did anyone even discuss religion here? It all depends on the person if he will be addicted or not. A person that is religious can well be addicted to gambling and religion will not help. A atheist can also avoid gambling without problems as well. So why are we even discussing religion as a factor for getting addicted?

I still don't understand why religion has to do with everything else? I myself not a religious person but I never got addicted in gamblings, its just I don't like the feeling when I lose something that I work in just playing bets.

Indeed correct! A religious person will never get attracted by gambling, therefore never trying it at the first place. For those people who are weak from inside, it is easy to indulge in gambling. For such people, gambling is a solution to all their financial problems but they end up the other way.
