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

Where have you read that because I'm interested in researchers that explored the effects of habits or forming a habit and it's significant effect to humans. I'm just curious if everyone has this kind of curiosity.

some addicted people want to leave gambling at once, but it is very difficult, may be some addicted people have been even succeeded but in most of the cases people do not succeeded in such ambitions, they need to quit gambling slowly and with some great planning and strategy, otherwise there are more chances that he will start gambling again every he is remain untouched to it for few months or even for years..

It actually depends on your persona..

You can quit a lot of things by just making a sudden drop, you don't to decrease, you just need to motivate yourself to completely stop.

I know people who quit smoking with a half of an unfinished pack of cigarettes, and dozens of people who "are going to" quit smoking when they finish this pack, and it's always until that pack etc.

There are ofcourse people who won't be able to do this, so they'll try something else, find a replacement for your addiction.
My girlfriend stopped smoking by using an e-cig, gamblers can try gambling in virtual games with virtual currencies etc.
It depends on your goal and charachter, if it's money you're stopping for or something else.

that's what most addicted gambler dreaming about , to leave gambling forever to avoid financial problem. but since an addiction always required long time to get recovered and step by step based on a lot of psychiatrist suggestion. it would working effectively . there always an easy way when you have a strong will.

A strong will and determination to quit by thinking of your life and your family. It would also help if the people around you are encouraging you and are helping out. It's extremely hard if you are trying to quit on your own so it's a big thing if you have support from other people around you

yeah then an open talking needed right? so everyone around you could always supporting you , it's indeed a big help when you have a nice family who care and support on whatever decision you make . in this case you want to leave from your gambling addiction problem and of course there would be an easy way opened when you are not thinking alone but together.

To sharing our addiction with family members or with friends we need courage. Many addicted gamblers will not take this courage and finally, they will take wrong decision in the end. But every addicted gambler must share with their family members. They are the one take care of them until they come out from gambling.

Upon reading the stories on this thread I must say that how worst gambling is, and addictions really affecting most people specially those who are long time gambling players. That's right most of those addicted don't have determinations and courage to quit and give up gambling despite of it's difficulties. Special attentions can be needed in order to change the visions of the person or a member of your family maybe your siblings and even your parents, will have to undergo seminars on how to give up easily from gambling. Proper communications and caring should be given to those individuals and I believe they can overcome it in a long period of time as process goes on.

Giving up gambling is not easy because once you had already addicted its not easy to quit. It is not easy because that is a part of our life if we gamble. Especially when we gamble and we win we feel good. But you can control yourself and know the limitation and you should know the risk and advantages of gambling. Sometimes we can say its not easy but you need to focus to yourself how to control and your emotions also and how to manage yourself to give up in gambling. Gambling is for profit and for fun try to enjoy in every time you gamble.

If you can control yourself and know the limitations then you should know the risks and benefits of gambling. Sometimes we can say it's not easy, but you need to focus on ourselves and how to control your emotions and also how to manage himself to surrender in gambling. indeed to get out of gambling is not as easy in our minds but must act so that does not occur in gambling addiction

Yes that is true self control and have limitation in self to know when we stop gambling. Gambling is the most worst thing if you entered to it you can lose big if you don't know how to control your emotions.

I couldn't agree more, self control and your ability to discipline yourself with a consistent bankroll is the only way to stand a chance at being successful with gambling. It's a difficult thing to maintain but with the ever increasing tricks of the bookies I think you need these attributes in order to stand a chance against them.

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.

Giving up gambling is just same as quitting smoke, drinking or any other vices, it's quite hard and somehow almost impossible. The best way to do it is to find other hobbies just like watch a movie, play online games or sports, read books and etc. You just need to be diverted and find other ways to control your thirst to gamble. Sure gambling is an easy money, but it's also an easy way to lose everything that you have.

Yeah it is very important to control yourself and your emotions if you want to stop gambling. If you won't control your emotions you will feel very sad if you lose, this will probably push you to betting again, which is of course bad thing if you want to stop.

In my opinion, if someone can't control himself or his emotions when he's gambling he shouldn't do that at all, or he will lose everything he have.

You have described me completely with this sentence. I was a man like this before however I have changed now and Im not the same anymore. I pushed myself too far before and now I have realized my mistake. Im not going to lose control anymore and even if I did I wont really lose a high amount in the game

Wow that is really a good self discipline you have. Before I lost a lot of money though I still kept on coming back. Though I don't bet as big as before. I just gamble for fun so at most I play with about 0.005 bitcoins and nothing more. But since now the prices are really high, I only use about 0.002 bitcoins to really just enjoy myself and try to hit those jackpots.

No matter how much money or bitcoin you use to play just to hit those jackpots it is still depends on the system. Anyway you really can't give up gambling if keep on playing into it even if you say, you just bet using a small amount.

It is still a gambling and you play to it, you should find some other hobbies that will make you busy and tells you to quit. If you love sports then try to play sports, music, read a book, go to gym, etc., just follow what your heart tells you except playing gambling since it gives you more stress when you are losing.
