Giving up gambling is not easy when you are already addicted in any kinds of gambling. It is not easy to quit in gambling and this can be the hardest part that you decide. Especially when you think that gambling makes fun and this is already your hobby. Sometimes we need to sacrifice yourself for your goodness. But there are many ways if you want to give up, you need to talk to your friends and family and ask for help what to do.

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
Yes, to quit gambling, you must have something else to do instead. I tried so many times but after I received my salaries, I kept gambling for many times, it's just like something wanted me to gamble and I can help controlling myself to get away from gambling.

In my own opinion the only way to get away in gambling is changing your hobby or finding an another way to leave gambling like playing golf, basketball, bowling and other kinds of sports.  The only thing you need is to control your self from playing in casino or online gambling because you might lose a lot of money if you can't control it
Yeah I agree, One of the best ways to give up on gambling is to find a real hobby that will fill the time that you are not doing anything.

Most of the people gamble just because that are bored and they are looking for an excitement, so if you get a hobby you won't need that kind of excitement so you won't gamble

I tried to give up gambling many times in the past but was never successful and I was able to stay away from it for some time but at the end it again attracts me to get on the gambling sites and try my luck on it and now I think I won't be able to give up gambling any time as I am addicted to it now.

If based on what you've done to surrender as gambling, I guess this time all you need is time. Keep doing what you've tried to do to stop gambling, you'll slowly stop gambling. Because to stop gambling we can not rush.
True , It is reverse in entering gambling it is so easy to play and bet but to give up is not as easy as entering ,it will really need a time with no past forward ,no shortcuts, just like life there is no easy .

In any bad habit the process of getting addicted and then stopping the addiction is hard. Because our mind cannot stop its urges easily and it needs determination on our part for that. We can give up gambling but it needs a determined mind and willingness to stop. Also if the person understands the bad habits associated with gambling and how it has a negative impact on the person then it can also help a lot.
Self realizations and self determinations would really be required if you do really serious on quitting gambling and as you said our addicted minds will really urge us to play even more since our mind and body got used to it then we would really end up on playing in the end of the day. First thing we should really control our mind and be sensible to quit gambling for good in able for you to succeed and leave it.

Gambling is not easy. Because the nature of gambling is just luck alone that will make us a winner. No tactics No tricks for gambling Except ball or poker that we might think in this game

If it has become a habit and has been embedded in our minds, I am sure, it is very difficult to give up from the game of gambling, especially if you have lost in large quantities. Maybe all you can think about is how to get the money you have back.

giving up gambling isn't easy for sure , but it's possible just like smoking you will struggle in the first couple of months then you get used to it
but anyways people should enjoy  gambling and gamble only what they afford to lose , that way is fun and safe
or learn some skill games that you can actually make money , like poker and sportsbetting

It is not easy and I have tried alot of method to stop but it is really hard for me to stop. Sooner or later I keep on thinking about comig back to play that is why I cant stop. I choose to play wih a smaller amount nowadays so that I dont lose alot of money when I lose. This is better han losing money when I play for profit

Easy or not is subjective, some may say it is easy because they have done it before but some may say it is hard because they are still trying for longer time. Playing small amount is also not a type of someone who want to stop gambling. If you want to stop then you should not bet anymore even a tiny amount.

Well, at least you have tried and is still trying. Setting limitations for yourself especially with the amount that will be used in playing gambling only shows that you are trying to control yourself. Loosing lots of money in gambling is very painful and looking at the current price of bitcoin in the market, accumulating those loss money could be a fortune right now. Playing gambling is fun and is very relaxing but we should be aware how dangerous it is when we became so addicted with it. We should set in our minds that in gambling, it is very easy to get addicted but is very hard to quit from it.

Do sports and explore new places. At the end of the day virtual gambling is not that rewarding compared to outside world experiences shared with the people you love and cherish. Just like you said, it creates a thirst that is never quenched. It creates an illusion that you want a little bit more of what you already have and then it's gone in an instant.

I have a friend of mine and I known him as an addicted gambler. And at first he talks about on his struggle about quitting what he did is just the same with you suggested. He get attached with basketball and sometimes he wants to go out with his other friends to go for a mountain gambling. Suddenly his addiction was changed to hobby on those sports.

i am happy for your friend as we can see that your friend is a proof that addicted gambler finally can live like ordinary people and he can change his addicted gambling into hobby. i think this will be a good example for us and it shows to us if we really want to quit from gambling, we need to struggle and create new habit for our life so our mind is not thinking about gambling games.
It's going to be a big sacrifice quitting in gambling but we need to do it in order to quit, it is never impossible to quit although it is hard but as long as we convince ourselves to live a better life we can do it anytime we want to. Actually that was the decision after the damage has been done, therefore it is still better to learn how to be discipline so we can prevent addiction.

Very precisely. that all of the profits or a change we can get only from ourselves and not of others, indeed anyone else could do it but it is just a thing to give encouragement and not change. So, you need to know that gambling is a very adverse impact on giving when we did it the wrong way and vice versa. So if we don't want to get the loss, one of the things that must be done is to control yourself and make an analysis of the strategies that are owned
 
   As been there on how struggling and quitting gambling is very hard, all I can say about it was you really need some motivations, advises and self moderation. Those three are needed for your withdrawal in gambling, yeah It is really hard to quit instantly, and it doesn't meant that when you say you'll quit right away tomorrow you will no longer be there in that game...No its not slowly and slowly you will quit. Also try getting out from your comfort zone.

You realised that now gambling was never easy we all assume that we will win our next roll and if we do we are like we are in profit just few more times and i will quit but because you don't stop you lose your profit and with that you end up losing your deposited funds also. Giving up isn't too hard but you need support of your family for that

Just like you said, it creates a thirst that is never quenched. It creates an illusion that you want a little bit more of what you already have and then it's gone in an instant.

This I agree with. Imagine those times when you already won but failed to withdraw. And after you realized it, its gone and its too late. Just set limits and treat gambling as a recreational activity and not an everyday task.

One thing we must understand is that gambling is the place to find a great advantage. Where every advantage can only be obtained if we can play well, there's not a real story that someone could get an advantage simply by relying on luck. Because it all comes from the strategy and a good self control, if we don't have it then everything will just end up on the same thing. The profits did not come from luck, but experience and skill we have
 
Gambling by its very nature puts you at a disadvantage. The only exception are strategy based games or when you coin-flip/dice roll against some random person that doesn't run a gambling business.

Yes!
Giving up gambling is really hard especially when you already suffered from a great loss.
All you have in mind is to try and try until you reclaim all the money that you've lost. And the more you try the higher the possibility that you'll get drowned deeper into gambling.


If you are losing so much money i think that's a hint that you need to stop gambling. Chasing loses too is not good because it's really hard to win again if you suffer many loses. I know it's hard to stop but if gambling makes you lose always that's the time to quit and focus on how to escape from gambling. It's only hard on the beginning but if you start it with strong passion to quit you will forget it in time.

I am not a certified gambler but I know how to gamble and I admit I can’t help myself not to gamble. If I lose a money I will just stop for weeks then I will gamble again but not every day. At least three to four times a week. I think it is hard to fully give up gambling because we want to “win” again and again and we do not consider losing. We are not always lucky and when it comes to gambling there is no technique to win, you need to have luck in order to win. When gambling make us win, that’s the point that we became greedy so we are wanting for more.

Ways to stop? Put “DISCIPLINE” on yourself. Tell yourself not to gamble again. Learn from all your experiences or else it will happen to you again and again.
