I can stay with out gambling for a couple of days if ever I am busy but if I am not I will always make a way to gamble somewhere near to my house with my friends or neighbors , gambling was my pass time everytime I felt bored staying at the house.

Anyone that is even having a problem from staying away from gambling is actually having a problem with gambling addiction as that is the best explanation I can actually give to it. Gambling should be for fun and not some activity that should be routinely done every single day.

Personally, I can stay away for as long as I want to stay away. There are just sometimes that I just miss the fun from the blood rush and the people around, and after quenching that thirst for it, I am a

I was addicted to gambling for some long time but after some big shocks and have serious troubles around me now surely I can say I can live without this because its never been good experience for me this give me biggest setbacks and many failures hopefully this is end chapter for me in next all way

Well we always stick to what we enjoy even if it's not productive until it burns us. Good for you that you manage to turn around after getting shocked. Some addicted gamblers are so deep in their addiction that they can't do it by themselves.

That is really amazing. Believe me you have done something extra ordinary that not everyone can do. Every gambler, at some stage of his life, will come to know that this gambling was the hardest part of his life and the biggest mistake as well.

I am happy for you that you have found it so earlier and now you are living without it. Hope your life is a prosperous one and good luck for the future endeavors.

Obviously, there is no way that at a point in time, every gambler will not know that their gambling activity is getting out of hand. However, most of the time, there is just usually that thing that speaks to you like, just one more time and you can relax and that is how it all starts and you see yourself fully in it and trying hard to stop.

It is good if you can control it right from the start than it taking over you and finding a way to let yourself out of that bondage in the long run as that is the hard thing about it.

Some of the gamblers are addicted so much to these casino games so they can't stay without playing even a single day.

I can stop completely without gambling and can control myself.

How about you and how long you can control yourself for not playing these games?

Thats a kind of situation is with me cant stay away from gambling a single day.As long as i have money in my account i continue to gamble and i cant stop myself.I keep gambling until i loose my money then i stop...that is a strong addiction and i am trying hard to stop that.

You have noticed your addiction already and you are now trying to stop. It is indeed hard to do but at least you should try stay away for a while without it. You say you cant stay away even a single day, then you should try to gamble once a week or once per few days only. Dont you have any other daily activities that requires you to spend many hours a day like working in an office or something else?

As much as being addicted starts from the mind, I believe stopping also starts from the mind. Sure, it is not easy but as long as a gambling addict is ready to want to make amends to stop, they will always be ready to do everything in their power to achieve that.

The impulses may not be easy to get thrown out just like that, but with patience, dedication to improving, it should be easy. As long as you have daily activities to take your attention away, staying away from gambling or how long you do would not really matter.

I used to gamble much before but when I quit my job, I drcided to lay low of gambling until I dont crave it anymore. I sometimes had sleepless nights before because it was like a withdrawal reaction wherein I slept late because of gambling, but its a good thing I stopped too. I wont have to spend much of my money into casinos and online gambling sites anymore.

I am not an addicted gambler anymore, actually not even close even if i do gamble once in awhile. So, i can proudly say that i can live with or without gambling and i mean it. Gambling only excites me at first but later on i became careless with my strategy, i mean it happens all the time most especially when we are just playing inside our home and with family members like my bro, relatives and friends.

Really? Thats cool but anyways we are actually on the same boat because me myself isnt also addicted on gambling but to be honest i am verry addicted on gambling before when i was still a child. I play any kinds of gambling on the street but as i grow older i now know how to value money because i now already know that money is not verry easy to find, we need to work hard in order to obtain it thats why my views in gambling had also change drastically.

I also played gambling when I used to be a child and when I even didn’t knew that the thing which I am doing is known as gambling outside the world and is also portrayed negatively everywhere. As I kid, I played because kids want a lot of money in their lives and I also got money from it which I thought was a good source of earning money that’s why I played it.

How can you actually gamble as a child? Usually you'd be banned from buying any sort of lottery products.
Were you playing at an online casino then or something else?

That said, I used to buy a couple of scratch tickets once in a while when I was around 15 or 16 years old.
Technically that was also illegal, but they never asked for ID.

for me too have stopped its full of gambling, because for me personally gambling more bad impact than its profit so I decided to stop and earn money in the normal way.

Best way to make money is not playing gambling because most of the time it is the other way around. Instead of earning money, you'll end up losing your precious money against the house, pity you, that is when you are going to realize you shouldn't have tried it, that is a good sign that you'll not be into it but if you didn't come up with some realization after you lose, it is something you must worry about.

I think personally that thinking of making money from gambling is the biggest mistake one can do in his life because for me, he is believing something that really don’t exist in this world and the people who think it as a source of income and start paying with that mindset, these are the people who at the end are begging on the roads as there is no one to help them.

I can control the desire to gamble and even though for example when I have money but I have no mood to gamble then I won't gamble at that time. Moreover, I do gamble only with small part of my money and if I lost it, I will stop instead of chasing it with my other money.

it is a very good decision, because the more we desire to gamble the defeat will come closer to us, which in the end we will only regret all the miseries we suffer. because in some instances, the pursuit of lost / defeated gambling. So that means we will be brought closer to destruction

It's obvious that anyone who chases losses lacks discipline and are likely impulsive at gambling. I personally can stay off gambling for up to any time be it short or long and such should be any ready and prepared gambler but the opposite is often the case for many people.

In fact, anyone who ends up being an addicted gambler thoroughly lacks discipline as there is no one who can discipline and control themselves, knowing the right thing to do that will end up as an addict. Reading through this forum every day, I have actually seen people who have somehow set themselves up for addiction by thinking they are going to be making shit load of money from gambling until they get totally screwed up eventually.

Gambling is really addictive which people cannot control their emotion once they addictive to it. So when it comes to me, i am part time gambler which i am not completely addictive to it. I used to gamble when i am free because in order to time pass but i am addictive to it.

If anyone is addictive then it becomes hard for them to stay sometime without gambling while if it come to people like you who are not much addicted to gambling then they can stay for any time without gambling as they know about their responsibilities and they do not waste their time which they have to spend in their job or other daily activity for their family.

It becomes sad to hear the stories of the people who are addictive and how they keep losing their own money and also of other's borrowed money as they cannot control the urge to keep gambling and make money out of it forgetting that it is not everyone who makes money from it.

I can stay anytime completely without gambling and i can absolutely control myself from playing because i have my own goals that i will not never be again addicted in gambling, so it is much better if i stay away in gambling no matter what happens.

It seems from your comment that you have been involved in this gambling once. If it is so, and now you are saying this, brother salute to you. Because hundreds of new lame excuses come every day from such gamblers that we can’t just leave it. It becomes part of our life and now it is hard for us to go against this gambling and blah. But you are actually a symbol of excellence for them.

you can play and quit anytime you want. excuses? No not again, that only depends on how persistent you are on quitting. In short it all depends on you, it how you manage yourself, discipline when it comes to gambling, yes it is easy to say but hard to do, but you must so in the end you wont regret . Correct me of i'm wrong. addiction is only a term for people who lack self motivation and discipline, if you really want change then start it within yourself dude.

i think i can live without gambling it's been 6 months since my last gambling session and i dont get the urge to gamble again it's not a problem for me anymore and its pointless to gamble if you do it to entertain yourself as there are alot of ways to entertain yourself.

that is great for you and you have a good control of yourself to not playing gambling. I realize that for some people, it is difficult to do but if they can keep trying to not playing gambling, I think they can leave gambling once for all. yes, I agree that we have another ways to enjoy our life and entertain our life and we don't have to play gambling.

Yeah, having good control while gambling is always the best way to go about it so as not to end up messing things up eventually and by messing things up I am referring to one's life.

Leaving gambling is a thing of the mind as well as learning how to stay away and not make it a hobby based on the fact that the possibility of being addicted to it is there and you really want to keep putting yourself in check most of the time. Like you have said, there are so many other ways to have fun and even if gambling is one of them, it should be minimal and not some daily thing.

It is good because on the whole is not good and leaving is better. I think gambling should be for fun and not for making more and more money. If you want to make money with gambling then you will not remain even a single day without gambling. I use casinos for entertainment and not for gambling. So it is easy for me to keep aside for long time.

It is common that gambling will never give you money but will take all your money. If you gamble seldom after some times, then I think there is no problem but don’t be addicted of gambling otherwise it will be difficult for you to quit gambling forever. Some people gamble daily on sports betting and they cannot live without betting for a single day,

The ability to control when to play and when to leave the game indeed very important when we deal with gambling. Although I always visit a dice gambling site almost daily, I am not gambling like crazy. I just use my small amount of money to fulfill my hobby and the rest, I just talking with people in chat room.

To me, gambling is just as appealing as going to the cinema, restaurant or playing volleyball. So although I enjoy it, I don't necessarily need to gamble. I can go the rest of my life without walking into a casino.

This is really the willpower that you need to have in order to stay away from gambling before you become a addicted to it and loose all your money to it. It is also necessary that if you want to gamble you just do it for fun and nothing like to make money from it.

That’s right because if you become regular gambler you will lose all your money in gambling. Try to stay away from gambling and also those friends who are addicted gambler. I never gambled in my lie because I know the bad consequences of gambling and also disrespect in the community. I suggest if you want to gamble fix a limit for gambling and never accede that level.

I can stay away forever because I am just time pass gambler. I never gambled for winning money. I always gambled for fun and when I have no time for this fun I never feel bad. I am not addicted and not regular gambler. That’s why I can stay for as long time as I wish. Gambling is just a game for me and nothing more. I do not think that it is a source of making money.
