hi

i am getting addicted to gambling.And i am loosing a lot of money.I am loosing what i can't afford to lose.its sad that when you start loosing its just busted me again and again.at last i gamble for fun but now when i am getting addicted i am loosing too much.

Any suggestions are welcome

Regards

its a addiction which is not easy to back off once you got it i can understand you but the key is to busy yourself in other things if you are doing a job then do over time come home when you are really tired and sleep right away if you did not make even 1 bet in 15 days you are good

I agree, we must keep ourselves busy on doing productive things instead of devoting it in gambling. The more we gamble, the more our chances of losing is high. Let's remember that gambling is for fun only.

Easy to say but very hard to do, I agree that we should keep ourself busy with something else that take our focus away from gambling, but the fact that we get back to gambling almost everyday I think its very difficult to put aside for the most part of the gamblers. I am trying to do it but so far not really successful although some very little improvements.

thats right not easy to stay away from gambling because if you started is hard to stop it
but it depends your efford to stay away, if you believe you can do it.

Like others have stated, find another hobby. I'm a gambler and enjoy it, but was in a situation like yours. At the casino every night, bookies during the day. I was either flat broke, or rich for a day or two before giving it back. Real sad existence. I started investing in silver and buying coins and bullion. I read books and watched videos etc, and that was my gamble. I rode the 2011 wave up to $49 and sold half my silver at $42, wish I'd dumped it all. Last year I started buying again in the $14-$15 range and will continue to accumulate while the price stays under $20. Not giving advice to do this, just what's worked for me.

I still gamble, but maybe only once a month or weekend in Vegas.

First of all we have to make our mind and have to accept our loses there, stop chasing them with hope to get recover and find something interesting to do offline because it is so much hard to stay away while we have easy access to internet.

ya try to forget the defeat, then try to go out of the house with some of your friends.
I'm sure if you do it every day, the next day at least you have a little bored with gambling.
yes essence if you go back to gambling I hope it was just for fun.

There are many reasons for gambling. Not everyone gamble to 'get rich' in fact most people have other problems and excessive gambling is their 'cure' for these problems.

To know what type of activity will help you 'stay away' from gambling you first need to identity why you gamble:

1. You crave for adrenaline rush and excitement?
¤Instead of gambling you could pick adrenaline pumping sport: racing, climbing, parachute jumping etc.

2. You gamble to forget about life problems?
¤The answer is: seek help with professionals, talk to your family and friends.

3. You gamble because you are bored and lonely?
¤Find something you always wanted to do, beside gambling - find other people passionate about the same thing, make friends.

4. You gamble to get rich, solve your money problem?
¤You have to know that odds are against you, gambling is not a good way to earn money.

Get a hobby that need much time like fishing, play online games and do gym. That will make you forget about gambling and in the end you will forget about gambling.

Playing online works for me like league of legends but the result is addicted in league of legends and sometimes 18 hours i am playing league of legends.. until now while im reading some thread here in our forum im playing..

I don't have an idea about League of Legends, is that gambling? if that is then that is bad, the way you play it online that you need to exert 18 hours a day just to do it is not normal and will cause addiction to you. Your health might even at risk, so you better balance your life.

League of Legends is actually an online game (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA)) a strategy game. Actually playing online games makes your better and keep away from gambling but don't abuse when you play on computer for a long hours.

It's true, we work and even do gambling because we want to have a comfortable life. But if you abuse you body doing some shitty things then doing a lot of hardwork is useless. Even if you do no gamble and you do online games to stay away in gambling but doing some sort of addiction is bad for your health.

It is a good substitute to gambling addiction if you become a professional player. By then you will be earning thousands of dollars and you are enjoying your gaming. But if you are just playing without aim, then it is the same as gambling. You are neglecting your health and money playing longs hours for nothing.

Well if you're play online , it will make it worse.
WHY ?

Because as my experience , I like to purchase cash when I played the game. When I know bitcoin, I try to buy cash with bitcoin more often.

Control yourself. Yes, it's easy to say but difficult to do, especially that you mentioned that you're already addicted to gambling. In my opinion, to control yourself is to focus on different things. Just focus on something that is catching your attention, and little by little spend more of your time on it and spend less on gambling. Just take it slow, because it's not easy to STOP. Your mind needs to adjust.

Yes. But a gambler must be aware of addiction from the beginning of his gambling life. Then he must prepare himself not to get addicted into gambling by not staying more time with gambling. This seems and working idea to prevent gambling addictions.

Difficult question. It's simillar like you were asking how to stay away from alcohol or drugs or coffee. Seems that you have bad exeperiences with gambling. But the remember, the strong will is the most important but for that you have to clear your head and strongly decide what you want and want you don't want. If you feel the slightest temptation then you are not ready yet. So, at first maybe to put some limits, not to quit totaly, similar if you were stop smoking. Yu can't deprive your body totaly from toxin at once. So, thing on gambling like the toxin for your body that you should gradualy pull out.

If you are a married person , so you should think about your family and their future by saving funds. This will keep you avoid gamble if possible.

it depends on your religion, because according to my faith that I could not make a living for families from the gambling.
but this time I am still single and not married, so I just tried some small game.

Religion ? Really. I also heard from my friends that muslim religion don't allow any type of gambling . Is it true ?

I don't think so, i have muslim friends and they don't take drugs, they don't drink alcohol, they even don't smoke cigarettes, but they gamble.. So probably it is allowed.

Ohh. Thanks for clearing my doubt. Yeah. They don't drink, smoke , or take any drug, but I have a friend who told me that he never gamble as it is not allowed in his religion. So I was confused.
