I became an addicted gambler and with my experience it's really a hard thing to quit gambling. You are going to fight against yourself even your body doesn't want to gamble anymore, your mind will tell you to gamble and it's just fine because you can quit on the next days to come. And when that happens, you will still do it again and the cycle will be repeating.
The same thing happened to me as well. I cant quit and I keep on coming back. For some people like us it is hard to quit gambling because it might affect ourselves. It is better to keep playing but with small amount so that we wont really risk alot of money even if we need to keep on playing. It is the best thing for us that cant stop playing

Exactly, it is very difficult to divert ourselves once we are addicted to it. I tried much time not to invest in gambling but many time I started investing into gambling because sometimes we feel that gambling is unforgettable job though we are losing in it.

From my experience giving up from gambling is not a easy if you are addicted toward the gambling. You need a counslar to stop the gambling it just like the addicted towards the drugs and you just choice the other option to deviated your mind from the gambling
Compare addiction of gambling in other addictions like drugs, smoke, woman. All of them is hard to resist, these are all temptations and once you used to it this will be your addiction. And it's like you can't live your daily life if you will not gamble for this day. It is hard if you don't have any courage and there are no people that are helping you and encouraging you that you can do it.
I don't understand why did you put woman in the list. I think addiction to women is really a good thing which can distract you from gambling. This what I would recommend to gambling addicts: find a girlfriend, live a life, and you'll see that gambling is not so interesting after all. Try to spend money you spend on gambling to buy presents for your girlfriend or to take her to some good restaurants or to take her to concerts. Giving up gambling is easy that way.

I won’t oppose you. In fact I will suggest the same. It is good to consult some specialist as soon as possible. Addicts cannot recover all alone by themselves. They need some sort of support and guidance. A counselor is the best option for such a person. He must also be honest with himself and his doctor. Yes an addict requires the help and support of others. It can be tough for an addicted person who may also be under depression and other problems to approach professional and accept the fact that they need treatment. Thus their family and friend support becomes bigger in importance. If they are seriously willing to get rid of the addiction then they should approach professional help which can really help them cope up with it.

Maybe for those who got addicted to it,
But for me who are only playing or gambling when I am bored,
It is not that hard specially if we could find something else that could make us busy.

I want to believe that too before. I started with just having fun and then it became something else.
I guess it depends on pride of each person.
I am not the person who wants to lose so I always want back what I have lost and maybe more after that. I found it out when I cant stop it until nothing is left in my account. Well it is really a gamble.

It is for sure that it is hard to quit gambling for those who are addicted on it, they just can't leave gambling because they want to win all back the loses that they do have in gambling, they just can't accept the fact that they lost most of their money on gambling. So, no matter how much we convince them to quit, they will just keep on doing gambling until they get what they want.

They need some sort of support and guidance. A counselor is the best option for such a person. He must also be honest with himself and his doctor. Find a new hobby to replace gambling. Try working out, learning to code, video games or something like that. I wouldn't recommend gambling with play money, the best thing to do is do some new hobby whenever you feel the urge to gamble. Just keep it up and the urge will eventually go away.
Yes, this is the only option that will lead to success in order to quit gambling. If a person has another more interesting occupation, then gambling just will not be interesting to him.
However, it is not as easy as it sound. Just like many of us who are used to using computer every day. How is it possible for us to survive without access to internet forever? Some things have become their habit and it is very hard to change.
Everything can be done if we want to do it. Sometimes if we cant do it with this way, we can always try another way around. Sometimes the way that peple suggest might not work for us. Example like me, I dont think that I can stop that is why instead of stopping right now I only play with a small amount so that I can have fun and enjoy it
Perhaps but atleast I wont lose money when I gamble but that is for the best. Perhaps I lack of determination but I dont think spending alittle amount of money is going to hurt me anyway. I enjoy playing and I am having fun with a small amount so everything seems to be much better for me then to spend alot to play like everybody else

That's true, giving up gambling is never easy. But it doesn't mean that it is as bad as drug. Remember, gambling never later any of your senses and your ability to think, like what drugs do.
It means, it is possible to give up on gambling without so much effort. You only need to be willing and that's it, you are good to go.
In my opinion, if a person has a job, I don't think that he will get addicted to it, unless there is a extreme reason why he became a gambler and got addicted to it.
Asking a addicted gambler to give up gambling is not an easy task, he truly needs a lot of determination and preservation to give up gambling totally from his life, it will be better for him to pick up a new hobby except gambling to keep himself busy as he won't have time to think about gambling again.
It’s not really easy to quit in gambling. Whenever you think of quitting, it just triggers you to gamble more because you want to get back all the money you lose. And having that kind of mindset will never help you quit in gambling. If you want to quit, you need to have strong determination and stand firm in your decision.I agree that strong determination is what make a person willingly quit something. It is tough on gambling because after losing some money the way to get back is right in front of you - by gambling again. But this is actually designed in this manner so that the casino earns more and the player is slowly drained of money. Whenever you gamble to win back losses there is a high chance of losing it again. Going after the loss is a big mistake even when people are willing to stop.

I believe anything you are addicted to is not easy to get out..now if you are having a difficulties in giving up gambling, then you are addicted.. basically its all about self control and redirecting your self. Do something new, i know its easy to say but its totally hard to give up if your hooked for a long time. But as i said, self control, self discipline and seek a help. As long as you are willing to change then you can do it.
everything is all depends on how you are willingly like to quit and give up, engagement with gambling is really hard especially for those who already got addicted too much, we frequently read those advises and seems that its always depend on how people adopt change and how deeper he really wanted todo so.
It is true it all depends on you determination, though i learned that it might be easy to look at the outside but the battle inside , thoughts, emotion, urges, stopping, avoiding, is quite hard. We can never tell if its easy or not since it is felt inside the person. But I do believe that determination and focus can tell you that it can be fixed. Just do not let the urege to gambling take over your decision. Be in control and all will be fine.
