I would say just give up, and create an environment that you don't visit those sites anymore. Install software on your pc that does that. I used to have a serious gambling problems a few months back. Still do, but I have taken steps like never having too much btc on me which doesn't let me give in to the urge of gambling.

In addition to that change the lifestyle that you always do everyday, Its a big help for sure if we do it little by little. Before when I was starting to play in the gambling site it was really fun in the beginning only, but once addiction for real being applied it would be a serious problem. Change the habit, one by one its the first step for now.

I think it is better to take up a Bobbie where odds are involved so it is not gambling with money bit for fun. Some sort of game or even poker with friends without using money. Maybe say the losers pay for the pizza that night or something like that. Small little goals to work towards the bigger goal.

This is the hard thing to do for a gambler who is addicted in the gambling games. Maybe because they are already controlled by their mind in the addiction that has been input to their brain. I think this thing need a guidance by someone who will remind the gambler about it.

It's basically no use no matter how hard you try to make them realise that gambling isn't good it will all go in vein. Even if you keep any sort of guidance with them no use the best thing is to let them spend all there money , let them use all their savings I can assure you one day they will surely realise.

Well, it is hard for a gambler to realize his faults ,Gambling addiction is not an easy situation for the people around by the one who is addicted .I think it is more on emotion of being a gambler than mind .Emotions is hard to control especially not having enough self discipline .If you think on your mind over emotions you can think normally but, if your emotions exceeds to your mind you can't think on the wrong things that happens to you.
If you let them use their savings i am sure about what will happen next , they will more greedy where to get or to borrow , The time you'll force them and let them realize things what is wrong until its not too late is much better to do than letting them .

Who says that giving up on gambling is really easy? NO one but if you feel that you are addicted enough lose too much you need to quit then think of your family is the best solution of quiting it will comes into your mind the "HOW IF" the money you play you gave it to them you help them and make them happier

Actually, sometimes the reason of why a family member gambles, is their family. That means they might have a problem too with dealing with their family or sometimes they do it for their living.

The best thing that I could think that we should do when we want to quit gambling is to look for something else where we can earn money. It would make us busy and it would give us money, so we don't have rason to gamble anymore. Fun isn't really the cause why we are addicted to gambling, it is just the "reason" we said.

When we intend to quit from gambling habit it'll be very hard but I do believe that at the end something will force us to give up from this activities.

I tried to quit gambling but it always attract me when im watching people who make profits i don't really know why gambling attracts me always to play with my money. I also think of my money but i can afford to lose them but i want to win always trying up my luck.

I don't agree with you,
You mean, gambling it's very easy to people who not addicted to it? I don't think so. Gambling is always hard and risky even if we are not addicted, because luck is a big part of it. So people can reduce losses by experience and skills. For me, always i consider gambling is a way of fun not for profit. So i enjoy gambling in loss or victory.

You meant those newbie ? who lose already can be avoid to be addict on gambling ? For me noo when newbie started playing gambling and they win or lose they will enjoy the first game of having hard time playing gambling and enjoy the entire game. It turn into serious one making money on gambling is hard that's why we need lots of time to make it.

While that is true, one will not look up how to give up gambling if he's well-aware that he's not addicted to gambling at all. Gambling should be done for fun but most of us think of it as an alternative way of making money. There are some examples of people that have made money from gambling but that doesn't guarantee that you'll be like them. That's why most of us have the initiative to make money from gambling.

Gambling is especially hard to give up if you have nothing to do with your life. For example, if you just lurk around the Internet all day long, it would come to a point that you'll get bored and get the urge to gamble. Keep yourself occupied so gambling wouldn't be always on your mind.

To be honest it's never been easy quiting on gambling once you are already addicted into it playing everyday i can't even saved atleast of my income from trading once i already had profi i always withdrew it and then deposit into gambling website trying to be nice and cool when playing to win profits but im so unlucky every time playing even i set the settings into a safest one i know i always get lose. Chasing my lose makes me more addicting thats why.

huh you must be have a hard times fight with your addiction isn't it?
gambling never gives you a good thing in the long run ,
it is even provide you a terrible torture when you want to leave ,
don't gamble when you think you can not do it responsibly.

Nobody gambles for entertainment, there are just few who do it just for the sake of fun.
But the things go different when you get all in and expect to win it and lose even at the least chances of getting lost.
No one can gamble "RESPONSIBLY", that's because nobody can predict the exact outcome of what is exactly going to happen in the near future.

I am proud to say that I do gamble just for fun. In about couples of years ago, I realize that gambling was created for the entertaining purposes and it is useless to spend all of your money in gambling and believe that you can earn more money from gambling. There is no way unless you are one of those luckiest guys on this planet. Well, you have to accept this truth if you want to gamble responsibly

In fact no one will do it for fun. Gambling is quite tiring especially when you lose so if it is for fun purposes ONLY then Im quite sure no one will do it. People gamble to get some money, no matter how much it is wether it is small or huge amount. Everyone loves to win some money in gamble even when they claim they are playing it for 'FUN'

Yes its really hard to fight our addiction when we start gambling and winning it will make us more excited to get more profit and when we lose we triggered to chase that lose and trying to get it back. Well playing in the long run can be easily make us lose but sometimes its 50/50 winning will be luck when we play in the long run. IF you feel torture in gambling then leave don't continue playing.

Hi guys and girls! After making quite a lot of money then losing it and crying about not hapfmthe 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 ga!going casinoes I can use? U know just for fun and for the fix.

Call a gambling help line? It may seem like a stupid idea, but I have had a couple of friends that were gambling addicts and talking to someone about it really helped them stop gambling and overcome it. If you want a really serious way of stopping gambling, then you can lock yourself out of the website, there are some websites that actually have a section where you can ban yourself from gambling. But if the gambling website you normally go on doesn't have this feature, you can just contact the admins or mods and ask them to ban you. Most of the time they are willing to cooperate. It really is quite hard to give up gambling, but with the right help, there is a way. I am personally still trying to get over sports betting, I have lost quite a lot of money from it and I don't want to keep losing more and more. Hopefully I will be able to quit for good soon.

As source of main income, of course a regular job it the best option. We gamble for a one reason, to get extra income. However, due to greediness, we took it seriously and it;s hard to quit as we lose. The tendency sometimes for greediness it to lose more or to recover that loses. However, people who is greedy loses oftentimes.

I gamble for fun or entertainment only now, not to get extra income. Although sometimes when i lose i still feel angry too, especially when i lose big amount (>0.1 btc), i wanna to try recover those amount back.

I agree that in the end something will force us to give up from gambling activity, this might be having no fund, and no one around us trust us enough to give us loan so that we have initial bankroll. The fate of a gambling addict actually end like this. And this situation will continue depend on the moral of the person. Though it would be best to have specialist to help in rehabilitation.

I'm sure no one gonna give you loan if the reason is for gambling.
Giving up on gambling is not easy i admit, i used to gamble everyday but fortunatelly i didn't got addicted, i just think i could do something better than gamble the money.

Yes it is becauce gambling is probably addiction if you are the player who is addicted in gambling. Bet by bet to the specific game and lost in a row of the game or win in the row of the game.

Even an addict can feel his losses. I am sure that they too is sometimes thinking about quitting or even most of the time they are thinking about what they've done. Lossing is part of the game, so it's not a reason why we can't quit gambling that easy.

Most of the time I think we just don't want to quit because of money, we are afraid that if we stop on playing, we won't be making money anymore. That is why the best solution to that is to find a job.

You could say that someone is plain stupid when he has nothing left after gambling to only realize that gambling ruined his life. It is pretty damn sad to see that people choose to not listen to others or even look up for references about how in gambling we are supposed to lose. This kind of people actually live miserably for sure even without gambling

That is true but well we are all plain stupid in our own little ways, but alas, these people had gone stupid on the things that can ruin their life. Some of them had been in a luxurious life and due to this stupidity, they have ruined everything and throw it away just to have fun in gambling, or feed their addiction to be precise.

Learning from others experience is enough to learn and give up gambling or as much as possible never to try it... Testimonies of gamblers are often negative except for the golden days they experience...

Assessing our selves, is enough motivation to quit gambling, except if we are a fool and numb...

Usually they are not practical about living and holdig their money, and that's true, they sometimes end up with miserable life or their life keeps on repeating as if they are stagnant on where they are...
