Yes I know its hard bit when a person really wants something to happen, he/she will be able to do anything. Gambling is like drugs, there's an addiction to it. A gambler need to find ways to keep himself occupied so that he won'tgo back to gambling again. Not holding any amount of money or credit card will also help.That what my uncle has done to stop himself from gambling.No funds, No Gambling he says.

I agree that giving up in gambling is really not easy specially when you are already in a situation where you are already addicted to it. I think you can can do it little by little by just decreasing the amount you will gamble and continue doing it from time to time. With that, you will prevent yourself from playing a large amount of money.

Hi guys and girls! After making quite a lot of money then losing it and crying about it half the afternoon I have decided to give up gambling for good.  Its not for me in have a much too addictive personality. So now I just plan to work for casinos but not gamble.

The thing is you know you should cash out but you always want just that little bit more and then u lose the whole lot. I'm stupid and greedy. Right after I lost i put more in and doubled it then I went all in and lost it. So yes u can make a killing gambling with such a small about like a few dollars but then u lose all u make and waste a lot of time and energy and end up getting upset. Also i shake like mad when I gamble and I hate that. I tremble. When I lose I can't believe what the screen is telling me.

So any thoughts ? Ways to stop ? Ways to gamble with play money ? Maybe there are dust gambling casinoes I can use? U know just for fun and for the fix. Smiley

In order to give up gambling, first you should have a strong will to do it. You should have a strong determination. One of the help is to divert your focus to your family, indulge yourself to some physical activities like sports. Most of all strengthen your faith and become active in some religious activities that will develop more your core values and faith.

Giving up gambling is not easy because when I  was addicted to gambling l don't want to go away as a gambler even lve got a lot debts because gambling is the only way l know how to get profit.

That was the wrong mindset from the start, you should have had a job and then gambled as a part time or as some say for leisure and entertainment because gambling isn't predictable and so when you bang all your hopes on it you can easily suffer if things don't turn out your way.

I know what you mean. I've had my fair share of gambling addiction type behavior. Wouldn't say Ive ever actually been addicted, but sometimes it has been very close though.

I dunno, the thing is when I relaized gambling is just math, I stopped being an addict because I feel like I have a good understanding of how it works now and don't really feel as much of a rush anymore.
Gambling can be thought of as a good way to test your analytical skills, logic, smartness and luck. I feel you are not only addicted to gambling but has made it a routine task. You may not realize it but make sure that you are not sacrificing your other primary responsibilities by gambling habit. If you really want to test your math skills, then there are other options other than gambling available online.
No I think this is not a better way or platform to test your analytical skills that whether you can a better mathematics mind or not. No this is not the case. Actually this game is just a web that connects you to an amazing feeling and reality to doing nothing and earning money from such easy sources. And that is the reason people join it for analyzing things and ending as a loser.

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 to
do 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.

There are people who cannot control there selves thats why you call it addiction. It is easier to be said than done. I witnessed a lot who are addicted in gambling because i was able to work in casino. There are times that the wife or the father of addicted gambler requested the casino to band their son or husband. Thats legal in casino where i worked before. They cannot get inside casino anymore. Being addicted to anything is really hard to change. Unless if you are willing to change and of course with the help of the family. Yes be determine to what you want in your life. If you are willing to change then do it. The only person who can help us is ourselves.

It's easier said than done, but is that why you give up? That's not what you should be thinking, but you have to think that there's no choice but to stop gambling. Do not just because it's hard, you're not trying. I'm not a gambler so I do not know how hard it is to stop gambling, but there are so many who can stop, so do not lose by that short sentence.
This is the common thing why do most gamblers do failed up to do so which they do keep on saying things without even trying out. Some tried out but yet ends up on going back to play because they dont have strong self control and discipline. If you do mean on quitting or giving up gambling then you should do the things that need for you to overcome it. For sure it wont be easy but its not impossible.

It is not easy to left gambling if you are a very addictive guy.. otherwise, it is something very easy to do and more if you are pacient

I knew some people who are working at my office and they had a lot of troubles and issues regarding to gambling, it was more like a "sick" situation instead of an addiction.

Gambling is the worst thing that can happen to someone if you can not leave that addiction.

Once you hooked in gambling and gamble like there is no tomorrow, it will act like a jail, you will become a prisoner of it and prevent you from getting free from it. Escaping from the chain of gambling is hard and you need to change your life completely before it destroy you and your family.

I know that feeling but having a description like that, that you will become a prisoner I think that's not right. I haven't feel that I was jailed by gambling but the feeling that I can't quit is the one that I felt. It's hard to give up gambling if you are stick with it and you don't really have plans of quitting.

Then stop loving it. Gambling should not be love. It should be some sort of love-hate relationship. Gamble only to enjoy yourself while hating it because it would prevent you from getting addicted, then if you win love those winnings! Since winning is rare in gambling, any wins should be cherished and enjoyed after your gambling session. Don't let the casinos take it back, just withdraw it and buy something nice.

It is not about love or hate but it is about our perspective on why we gamble . If we only gamble for fun then it should be easy for us to give up gambling but if we do it for the sake of getting profit or even worse to get back what we lose , It will be very hard for us to move on. Thats what resulted people to lose their money because they are addicted of it

Yes, it is hard to give up things that you used to love and like if you are already addicted in gambling then every time that you are bored you always have a feelings of excitement to play again and the desired of winning will always prevail. So it is hard to quit if you have no other activities for the diversion of attention to make up the loneliness of gambling.

I think there is no way to give up on gambling, just decrease the amount on your bet to the smallest. Don't let it effect to your life.

Even you're decreasing the amount of your bet then you still doing gambling. You're right no one will help you out of this situation just only yourself.
Try to ask help Lord for sure He can help us about this situation its not easy but there's nothing about trying.
- We are the key to the problem, if in our minds we can not give up gambling, we will be forever in the gambling world, we will not be able to get out of it but if in our minds we are determined and abandoned gambling, we will do it very easily. We are the owner of the body, we control all our actions, if we say gambling makes us uncontrollable, that's really funny, gambling is just a game, abandoning it is a very simple thing. Many people say that when we are addicted to gambling, giving up gambling is not easy, that is something that I think is not right, the problem is whether we want or not, we do not want no one can force us and vice versa we want, nothing can prevent us

If you guys religious enough then go do that. Realistically people would think it's just wasting time when you only put a hope without doing a concrete action. Just look at people around you who suffering huge lost , broke and even die just because of gambling problem. Make it as a lesson and stop yourself to think about the past. Move on to better life with a better habit rather than continue to gamble.
If we only realize what we are wasting inside this activity, then we can assess ourselves and begin to move forward, gambling can be fun but losing a
lots of money is stressing and will just bring problem to our life, setting up other venue to have some fun and relax ourselves will help us to stay away
from gambling, just change your mindset and fulfill what you desire to quit as quick as you can.
Sad to say some people due to gambling addiction cant realized such thing because once a person enter state of addiction (gambling or any form of) they already loss the ability to think properly so rehabilitation and assistance from outside environment should be be given.
