Not easy but not impossible. As long as you have a strong intention to stop gambling and strong and unyielding efforts, you can definitely stop gambling. But stop gambling will not be done in a short time. And most people who fail in their attempt to stop gambling is because they stop trying half way. In other words, they have not failed, just stop fighting.
I have strong intention to stop but trust me it is not easy to stop just like that. I have tried alot of thing but it is not really working that is why Im still playing. I dont regret my decision to keep playing but atleast I can control myself right now as I dont care anymore about the result and only play for fun
I agree it is really hard and mostly impossible. It is like a drug that ones you take you will surely take it once again at a point in yoyr life but gambling is more addictinf to that. The best solution is find alternatives way of earning good income like trading, or storing instead of spending

As long as you think it is impossible then it will become harder to go out from any habit. But if you mentally prepare that you can do it then definitely you will find a way. As you mentioned if one want to quit any habit then they should find another good alternative to keep them busy so that they can forget the current habit. So first thing is addicted people should think that it is possible to quit the habit.

If you want to give up gambling why not attend a recovery program like a Gamblers Anonymous meeting where they can give you a help. They will give you a hand of friendship, understanding of your struggling, and a support through out your recovery. Some people recovered from their addiction and free from gambling. Why not you if you can do it alone?
An excellent idea, but it does note that gambling has the attraction that it's excellent for those who are already often do gambling and without creating a plan or strategy to win. Addiction is the most important thing is obtained by all the gamblers, and it's very difficult to be eliminated if we do not have a strong intention. Out of gambling is indeed very easy, but getting out of the traps or fantasy (in the mind) on gambling takes time. So we should be able to control myself and also clear the mind of all bad things
I don't know why, but addiction is not the most important thing a man or a gambler will ever obtain, not even a good thing it is the worst thing that could happen in a gambler.
Having many thoughts of winning a gambling activity, earning a lot of money and being rich is the common reason why someone is addicted to gambling. But it can't be helped, it is easy to gamble and you just need to put your money on the game and hope for it to win. But gambling requires a huge amount of luck, without it you will be putting your money on the line without having any cutbacks, but we don't know when will it come so we really need to be careful and monitor our games seriously.

I was regularly betting on sports and I usually broke even, but when I started to lose a bit and get emotions to control my betting then I just pulled out and haven't betted in a year or two.
This is amazing, you are able to distance yourself from gambling with not much of an issue. This is definitely not easy for a lot of people out there. They will try to avoid for days or weeks, but within a month or 2, they will still end up coming back to gamble for more. It has already been a habit for them.
Yeah this is good and you are one of very few gamblers that are able to control your emotions. So you haven't bet for let's say two years from now. Do you still gamble or is it getting into your mind that you want to gamble again?
I believe it takes around 6 months to form a habit, and around the same to break one.
So he probably doesn't have the urge to go gamble anymore, the start is the hardest, later on it gets easier
Base on what I can remember from my psychology class. It only takes 21 times to make an activity an habit. And once you reached that 21 times, the next tries will be the time that you are near to addiction and you will be hard time to get out of it.

I think addiction will be quite faster and I believe six months is a long time and at the same time if an addicted person decides wants to go out of any habit then they can find ways to go out of that habit. It all depends on individual how long they need to come out of addicted habits, some people may need more time, and some of them need just a few days after they decide.
