An active addict shouldn't stop completely, unless it's a condition that requires them, I mean gambling will still be played, but the portions are reduced, so not play every day or even just once a week, looking other jobs for primary income is the best way to force addicts to reduce the share to play gambling.

If gambling is not giving good result to that active gambler I guess that is going to be the best move for him, he should be cautious and aware that he needs to do something about his addiction. Just give a try to do other things and focus there so that he can forget that he is a gambler but I know in the first try it is not going to be easy.

Is not be easy but if you serious you can be stay away from gambling and quit it needs support from his family because i think that is why some gamblers are staying long in gambling because of luck of love from their family. so he needs supports from his family and friends go in far places that you are far in gambling that i think its a big help to move on.. join in christian church like born again or other christian. that can help also to change your life..

Quitting is hard to do since we became used on doing it, we were exposed a lot on it that our system might find it hard to escaped too especially when we really felt joy or we got thrilled on something were doing. We can only quit once we accept the fact that it’s no longer worth it and we need to grow professionally without gambling.

I agree with you mate. However for me, I believe it is not necessary that we quite 100% from gambling. We can play from time to time just for entertainment and with discipline. After all, gambling is just entertainment and should not be treated as a source of income unless you want to be a professional gambler.

Its really a matter of good decision mate whether you think you can earn with your activity or not as long as you can enjoy playing and you are using only your spare time and money and you can avoid losing your lifetime but better yet quitting or avoiding is mych better for a long term run.

If you have addicted to gambling then it become very difficult to stop gambling, because I have seen so many people in my real life they have already tried their best to stop gambling as lost a lot of money in gambling, but then they start it again after some time, so my advice is to reduce your gambling activities by joining some other profitable activities, where you can divert your mind from gambling.

You'll need to have the willpower and commitment to quit. Also, try taking up a new hobby to occupy your time. It may help if you can get your friend or spouse to watch over you as well.

I agree that both addiction and deaddiction is dependent on the will of the person. After all it was their own idea to gamble and play more to get addicted. There are small groups of people who had been addicts at one time and are not now who are willing to share their ideas in locality internet forums and so on. Try to join one soon. Also support of friends and family is of utmost importance.

How does one Put down Gambling for good?

Quit in gambling is difficult job especially if you are addicted to it. I recommend, you should find another way to entertain yourself like playing games. If you are now just starting to gamble you should stop because there will be no good effect on playing on gambling, you can't even get rich on gambling so you should stop.

Seek profession help. Admit to yourself that you have addiction. Occupy yourself with other things. Spend your time with your families. I think this is the best advise I can give for those who really want to quit. No. 1 and no. 2 is the most difficult part of a addicted gambler. And no. 3 and no. 4 for me is the best way to forgot all about gambling. Specially if you spend more time with your families, you will surely pre occupy your time and your mind and the results will be positive.

by definition the addicted to gambling will do anything to gamble without controlling themselves.

Thats what I was before I quit addicted gambling. I actually has spend alot even without thinking of ever controlling myself. I dont know of other people but when I gamble now, I only gamble a small amount that is very low compare to the others that is why it is the same as quitting gambling for good right ?

If you are not addicted to gambling then quiting is easy just find something else do to to entertain yourself and that is it, but if you are addicted then quiting is a lot harder, you will probably need psychological help and admit that you are addicted, it is not going to be easy but it must be done.

We can't just assume someone to be addicted and who is not addicted. The real problem here is how you treat gambling. There are gamblers that are not addicted to gambling, but they lose a lot, and there are also gamblers that are addicted to gambling, but they can control themselves. Most addiction cases really needs a psychological help, proving that addiction is really hard to overcome.

I think there is no concern of addiction with lost or profit. I think two factors can affect your winning and losing in gambling, on e is your luck which is more dominant and second is your planning and your strategies.

If you have good planning and strategies about gambling then you can surely show good result in gambling but still you have to depend on our luck and it is too much important to have good luck for making win in gambling.

I did not made any assumption that is why I considered the two options that could be possible since I did not knew which one was the correct one, also you give an example that does not exist you say that there are addicted gamblers that control themselves, that does not exist, by definition the addicted to gambling will do anything to gamble without controlling themselves.

well in my own opinion the only way to quit gambling for good is to have something that will replace the addict ness im gambling and that is finding useful stuff like sports, working out and other interesting activities.

I dont choose to replace my addiction. I choose to live with it however this time I do this with self control. That is why I only gamble a small amount everytime , If you only gamble with a small amount then you dont have to be afraid of your addiction. There should be nothing wrong with gambling with small amount

If you know how to control yourself, you will not be changing your bets in to a bigger one when you get frustrated due to a lose, you will have to be discipline and if you cannot do it in gambling it is always best to quit while it's still early.

If you can't control yourself, you won't be quitting gambling for good, but you'll be asking for food

Control is the most important thing when having fun with gambling

Asking for food? How does it refer to gambling or is it a figure of speech? To feed ones addiction I agree that person must have withdrawal symptoms which might get worsened when they need money. They need the support of their family and close contacts to put a stop to gambling and once they start to get deaddicted it will become better and they will gain control over it. Of course it will take a lot of time and effort and determination on part of the addict and the helpers.

It's not an easy task man.
At first you have to find out why you are interested to leave gambling for good.?.
Then you should make a plan to control over yourself and maintain this plan in a strong way.

Well the best thing is find some another game that you will ve addicted like now i'm addicted playing Mobile Legends then am satisfied that u forgot now playing gambling so its good for me that i have now bew game that i can play and now i doesn't seems in my mind thingking gambling.

In short it is like in the analogy of a glass full of water, in order for a new water to enter, you need to empty the glass. That is why if you want to get rid of your gambling addiction, you need to shift your attention or find a way that will get you stay away from gambling and do other things that will make you more productive.

If someone is addicted to gambling, difficult to return to his old life. Those who are addicted, are people who have friends gamblers, or at least gamble. Because excessive debt or pressure makes their minds aren't clear. Gamblers can stop completely when they fall, or be left behind their loved.

That will be their worst nightmare if they will allow themselves to be left behind by their loved ones before learning on how to quit gambling for good.
IF you want to gamble, just seek some help from your friends.
They will be a good help for you to quit.

If we want to quit gambling for good we must control ourselves on out betting amount, and we should be more responsible enough with our acts. Quitting for a better purpose will bring profitable savings for your pocket which you could value money to be the most important wealth that you have specially you are in need for a budget, unlike lossing it through betting games. Think for your self and most importantly your family, how could you attend their needs if gambling will be your priority in most of your time in your life; so be renewed and change for better future.

Not just controlling ourselves on our betting amount but controlling ourselves totally. Some gamblers are still addicted to gambling even if they are betting small, they do it so they can enjoy and make their gambling activity longer. Unless it is giving you some profit, you do not need to stop it, you just need to control yourself.

If you know how to control yourself, you will not be changing your bets in to a bigger one when you get frustrated due to a lose, you will have to be discipline and if you cannot do it in gambling it is always best to quit while it's still early.
