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.

Nothing is easy unless you put your mind on it. Giving up gambling is not easy and hard at all. It just requires your willpower (It should be a strong one), a strong determination, and a clear vision. It is like establishing a company. Before establishing it, you should study it. Study yourself first, know your weak points, work on them, and them find a solution onto how you are going to stop gambling once and for all.

It is not easy to give up something you are used to.. so if you are addicted in gambling then for sure gambling is part of your daily life giving it up will be the hardest thing to do for you but if your reasons in giving it up is more important then you can do it you just need to motivate yourself in doing so.

It is tough but not impossible to control gambling addiction and slowly stop gambling. If one is willing to change their ways and lead a new life away from gambling then they surely can if they have the willpower. Not everyone has the determination so its tough for some people but not impossible. Try to understand that bad effects and the waste of time and money gambling has and you will soon start to regret your decisions. But it all depends on your own will.

With a bit of self will,i believe that we can do anything that we want to do in this world, getting rid of addictions can be hard especially an addiction that sometimes makes you money, Money runs the world and everyone wants it, Gambling is most of the times the easy way to get money without committing any crime at all. One does not easily give away a habit that makes him money. not at all.

Self will , strong will yeaa it could really make you to get started giving up gambling.
But the question is on how you do that? You should have a real action too and leading to that strong will.
Go for professional help could be the best option , rather than doing it alone by yourself , why not to give it a try?

I agree with you guys with the strong will but the question I have in my mind is that how can you measure your will, that it's enough to get you going when it's rough. For me, I'm trying to quit something that I have done and almost relied on it and I don't want to anymore, I guess I have a weak will. I think I know how to deal with it with strong power and faith in God.

There's a lot of things that actually you could do while waiting your will getting strong and fixed.
Looking for reason why you have to stop gamble , is that hurt you or not etc.
And then the answer i believe will back to the gambling problem solved , they have experienced deal with it.

There is no need to give up gambling and if you can't afford your losses then you have to reduce your monthly budget or play with play money.

And what if it's get worst that you keep on playing and you are losing more than what you afford. And that's the reality that happens with many gamblers.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Everyone has its preferred activity and I can't see why it shouldn't be gambling, except you bet more than you can cope with.

Yes but as gamblers we do have the same activity and we all know what we do and we have set our own goals as we gamble.

Yes, it is many people cannot able give up gambling because those people who are addicted to gambling and cannot able to control their feeling. People who are winning through the gambling those people will always addicted to gambling.

However not everyone keeps on winning in gambling - in fact no one can win every bet they put their money on. Instead there are periods where there will be losses and the person may regret the fact that they gambled. It shows that they are not totally crazy about gambling but they are willing to stop it since it does not always yield good results. Most of the times it is the house that makes more profits for EV- games.

Agree on the point that not anyone will win every time. There are some lucky days of getting huge money out of gambling. Then the greed comes and makes you disable of mind and you bet again. Lucky days end, so loss is there for you. Make yourself up for giving it once.

You need someone to motivates you to stop or an inspiration to fix yourself again. Making a move is already the first step toward changing yourself to being normal again.

Your friend, your girlfriend, your family or a psychiatrist. These are the people that can help you to motivate and get through to quit gambling. Also there are people who are helping strangers in this type of cases, you can just search videos on youtube and find those people that are able to overcome and quit gambling.

The best person who can help you with anything is you yourself and your conscience. Listen to what it says and then try to question your decisions. If there is the feeling of guilt associated with it then it will appear on its own in your mind. Think of the consequences and the bad things that happen due to you gambling addiction and slowly you can decrease your addiction as well. If you are willing only then you can succeed.

The people who have lost huge amounts of money already by gambling understand that they need to stop but the gambling addiction is so much for them that they cannot stop themselves. Outside people can surely help them but they must help themselves. There are people who have been motivated and regret their own decisions that we often come across from our vices that need to be controlled.

if we want to give up from a gambling better we do not think too much how much bitcoin has been lost. because it's the same will be our driving force to play gambling again. enjoy not too in fikir all fortune has been set. when we already get a lot of bitcoin do not be tempted to go back to play

If one can understand that gambling has been only a bad thing in their life then they will surely try to mend their ways. But most people are reluctant to accept this truth and even though they see what is happening in front of them they fail to acknowledge it and thus they continue to play more. They will try to win back losses which is harmful and thus the cycle continues. If they dont open their eyes and stay in a dream then no one can help them.

Gambling is not really a bad thing, it is pretty much the same as taking drugs . There are alot of benefits from taking drugs but due to some people, people see it as a bad thing while in fact it may not be in some cases. Pretty much the same as gambling. Sometimes you wont be able to stop however look at the bright side you could win some money

Hahahah, it's basically that gambling has some bad things in it. because gambling is a game, where every game is sure to have 2 possibilities of winning and losing. As you say, that gambling has something in common with drugs, but that only refers to addiction and not to anything else. Actually gambling can give us an advantage if it can control ourselves, because if we can not control ourselves it is certain that the game will be very bad and play brutally without any strategy

Comparing gambling with drugs is unimaginable and addiction can also not satisfy the comparison.
There are many sorts of addicts so that mean all the things are same. Definitely not! It is human nature that is addictive to all easy ways of getting comfort or relieving pain.

This is a good idea if you want to stop from gambling maybe you need some help from other people or you need companion to forget gambling. The person you need is people from your family or friends because they are the one who will help you most unless they know that you are gambling but if they don't know that your are gambling i think it will hard to tell them at first that you are addicted too much on gambling. I suggest that you try talking to them and maybe you will see a different result.

It is not less than challenges, if we want to continue our gambling and still we have limited budget then definitely we compromise ourself with our budget and also faces the cope and bear it if we have limit money and can't give up gambling.
But if we take a right step in the first time, for example, if i have limited money then i should aware of myself that play gambling with my around extra money, then the stage of give up gambling will not come.

It's easy tho. If you're a religious person and believe gambling is a sin you must stay away and never come back to gamble world again as you might get addicted again if you touch gambling. However, it's really hard for those who have missed much money from gamble to quit probably they will play again to recover the losses which is a wrong idea to do.

If you are a religious person for sure you will not be addicted in gambling in the first place. Let's assume that this people who have problem in gambling are victims of themselves. They are desperate to make more money so they might think gambling is the only way to solve the problem but they failed in the end, when the problem is money and you spend money to solve it but you failed, I guess that would result to a bigger problem.

People who have this kind of serious problem needs help and quitting is not easy without the help of people who truly care for them.

We can help this kind of person through diverting gambling activities with another kind of entertainment like going to theater or other enjoyable sports games. You can can bring the person to some concerts or going to beach of or having interest with other profitable investments, on example of that is trading.

To get rid of gambling you need to take your free time with some very interesting hobby so that you do not even have time to think about that you can play the game again.

As usual, this is a way but if you want to get rid of gambling totally. I suggest that allocate your money or budget it with the right way. Don't give a way that you'll have spare money to be put in gambling. It's better if you'll save that in bank or invest that somewhere not in gambling capital but you can just use it for trading of alt coins which is a more productive thing instead of gambling.

It's hard to focus in a lot of things and your plan to quit could not be possible if you still prioritize gambling and you cannot let go of the fun.
Think on the other side, gambling is fun but there is a reason why you have to quit, it's not good in your finances therefore you have to quit as early as possible. Gambling addiction cannot be easily healed if you won't replace something more special that will make you focus and enjoy instead of gambling, having said that you have to look for that kind of interest of yours.

It may be hard to focus with some other things when you are about to follow your plan of quitting gambling. And you must change the way of thinking that you mustn't be prioritizing gambling anymore. What's the use of it if you want to quit but you keep on thinking about it. If that still doesn't work, try to dedicate your time on your job.

I must say this is the only one way of quitting anything. Quitting smoking, drinking, gambling and many other alike things would not be easy if you just think of quitting them. Practical quitting is the demand. You have to make your mind ready to quit immediately. That how you will leave it.

Also you need to find something else to do or you are going to be thinking about whatever you are addicted all the time, so you need to do something new that interest you, that way the process of getting out of the addiction is going to be easier, but if that does not work then it could be better to look for professional help.
