Hard to overcome it when you are surrounded with gambling sites online. You are not born to have a gambling problem I'm sure anyone who has addiction to gambling will overcome it when he lost it all. With not money but still manages to sell things just to gamble will result an addict to jail time. I don't know if he can gamble inside still.

There are a lot of people whom have lost so many money in gambling yet still gambles, and that was what he called an addiction. Yet, gambling often seen as curable yet it somehow was not in a way that it requires the same rehabilitation as what drug addicts do. No one can say that they would stop gambling for their family or for him to buy something big. There would still be instances that he would gamble some or even a little just to fulfill his satisfaction.

It's a worst kind of addiction already when it already involve your house just to fund your gambling needs,.. yes it has already become a needs because gambling is the only focus of an addiction gamblers and they will do everything just to gamble.

he cannot solve it his own, he need some real help from people around him, especially his family because that's what sees him and understand him, but he needs to ensure he will submit for changes, for worse addiction, a person should be put into rehab.

And there was 1 thread discussing gambling addiction stories.
- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gambling-addiction-stories-4360395

I think it is clear enough that everyone has his/her own way to handle/overcome gambling addiction. We can give some advice to the gamblers:
1. Remind him/her about his family
2. Tell him/her to strengthen his worship
3. Suggest him/her trying some hobbies to make busy and forget the gambling
4. Make him/her busier in social life activities
5. Make him/her realize that gambling is only wasting your time and money
6. Any other else

*It's my humble opinion.

There's a story that my mom told me, it's about my uncle who once became a gambling addict that there comes a time where he sold most of their things in their house just to find money to gamble. The worst thing that my uncle did is to pledge their house just to satisfy his gambling pleasures.

I know it's not easy to overcome this situation especially when you're already in your point that you want to get back everything that you have lost. You keep on gambling thinking you can earn everything back. Actually, we're already lucky enough if we continuously win the game but even our luck has its own limitations. Without noticing it, our wins are slowly turning into losses.

I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do. There's no easy way if you really got attached to gambling. But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?

Gambling addiction is really hard to overcome because i once experienced getting addicted in gambling and it takes me months to recover myself from my gambling addiction by putting all of my attention in different things like going to the gym, playing sports, computer games, and bonding with your family or friends. I kinda agree that it's easy to say but harder to do, but i got stay away from gambling with the help of my family that they always watch me, so i could really control myself in gambling.

Basically, if a person cannot overcome their addiction there is a struggles behind his issues on extreme gambling activities. Because of frequent bettings, it made him more eager to win and recover the lost money. Making an adjustment towards the diversions that we wanted to like other activities, isn't an assurance if you're not get used to it.
That should be done ambiguously and patiently in order to come a successful outcome in the future, and even quit gambling for life.

Just get help. Let your friends know about your addiction. Tell your families and your close ones the problems and sufferings you are facing due to gambling. They will help you!
Don't just go to the internet and take advice from random people. There are centers out there that helps people with compulsive gambling disorder. Get yourself admitted over there and let them treat you.

If you can’t do it on your own then ask for guidance because its not easy to stop your gambling addiction if you already attached on it. I find myself on a broken side while gambling before and I tell it to my partner right away and luckily she guide me well and I was able to overcome it, I’m still playing occasionally but not an addict anymore we just need to be honest to ourself and think for a better solution.

One way of fighting an addiction is by replacing it with a substitute addiction which is positive. This should only be used in extreme cases.
In mild cases, avoid casinos or areas where you can find yourself gambling, you can also delete apps on your device which makes it easier to engage in gambling. You can also draw up a personal memo of things you may have lost due to your addiction, this would motivate you to quit. Also, have a strong will.

That's the part where regrets will come along once your addictions already reached the peak to the point that you'll do everything just continue gambling. It's yourself will that can help you to stay away from gambling because even you read and hear every opinions if you don't have sell will then you will just keep coming back and gamble your money.

Once you have been noticed that you are in addiction just divert your attention to other activities that surely you will forget gambling. Yep, I know that is not easy to overcome but pursue your self or else it will probably ruin your life and become miserable once you have it. I know this topic has been already discussed so many times here in the forum in any different way but I consider since you have a low rank and probably you did not read those topics. Self-control is a must and we should discipline our selves.

Quitting gambling will be easy to say and will be easy to do if when someone already has a strong intention to quit. Based on the story or history that you have from the story it is clear, your uncle does not have control of many factors including the mindset and greed, when your uncle is brave with a blinded heart and decides to sell all goods and even a house, then it is an addiction that really can not be done alone, because at least there must be someone nearby to help your uncle get a wiser mindset.

Yeah, its easy to say but harder to do but it is indeed possible.It would just vary on how a certain individual would disciplined out himself not to play gambling anymore.
It would just matter on ones person if he do really mean to quit or stop because if he wanted to, he can but if he do let his emotions and addiction control him
then he would end up on playing again.Im not an addicted one thats why i cant really tell about the hardship into this situation.Its very unfortunate if you do
already sold out most of your things just because you do like to gamble.

Gamblers can overcome their addiction but the problem is, they don't allow themselves to do that. And that now leads to addiction and the inability to think right.

So how can a gambler overcome their addiction? That question can only be answered by a gambler itself. Even we list some things that might help a gambler, its useless since at the end of the day, it will be their decision if they will continue to gambling or not.

This is the reality of gambling. The solution to stop this addiction can only be found in our inner self.

thats true that the number one thing that can cure addiction is to divert your thoughts on other things that can keep you busy like working because when you work you can feel that you will earn stable income and that is more better than gambling . that was actually what i did to overcome my gambling addiction on the past because i was also jobless that time and i need money most of the time to support my other habits . i became addict because i want to earn money out of gambling .

we should treat gambling problems as a health issue and not a criminal one.
it's somehow funny the absurd taste of your past comment.

there's always a moment in life where people get to a place and say: "no more".

there change starts.

But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?

Please don't ask questions that have already been asked in the forum many times before. Do your research and if you have something to add, get involved in a discussion in an existing topic. For example, take a look at this topic: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! . I'm sure you'll find plenty of answers to your question there.

Gambling addiction is literally so bad habit that can overcome a person in some points, and the only thing that you can do is just to be strong enough to not let this addiction destroy you in a lot of ways, like mentally and even financially. It's all about yourself and how much you can control yourself over this, I mean by just set up a limit for yourself, you'll be safe as far as you just don't pass it.

That is very bad story of you to hear as it give much harm when your elder lose the property and then you spend your life as a poor person. I think for to stop that type of person we have to stop him in the start. He may not stop but he will not gamble openly and try to limit the budget of him for gambling and a long with that give some responsibilities to him so that he also spend time in some other works.

I think all gamblers have a difficult sad story and your uncle's story is one of them because I have the very sad story of my safe after that I understood my responsibility and overcome from gambling addiction but I am still struggling a lot. now I getting recovering my loss sowing and still, I am gambling with my limitations. gamblers should understand their limitation at gambling otherwise it will be one more sad story for them.

Actually, it depends on the person itself on how will he manage and control himself to avoid ending up into that horrible situation. Personally, I think that gambling isn't the problem, it is people who doesn't know his own limitations. It will not be easy if you're used to do it every single day and it's the reason why people should take a look at themselves and ask how gambling affects their lives. Maybe gambling is fun, entertaining and sometimes profitable but you can't literally assure yourselves that it will be worth it because gambling can guarantee you nothing. You can't just rely on other people's way of thinking to change your mind and decisions, try to explore yourself because sometimes we are the reason why we are suffering and feeling remorse.
