This group can be helpful, if you can find a meeting in your local area.

Although I no longer attend myself, the support group did help me stay away from gambling for over 6 years.
I do now gamble from time to time, but it's not anywhere near as bad as it was when I first sought help in 2000.

It's good that you now can live without gambling addiction, just don't make that "gamble from time to time" to a serious addiction again Grin

Thank you for sharing sir, you really care for us gamblers here, I hope this group can really help us. Looking forward for a positive result.

The best way to stay away from gambling is to give full control of all of your assets to someone you can trust. I'm not sure how practically it is for us BTC and altcoin users though.

In my opinion playing from time to time can be very dangerous for you. Even playing for points in some free games or from faucets may result in back to uncontrolled gambling.
Of course after so many years you know how that work, but I think you still can not feel safe, and will better if you give to someone trusted control over your finances.

I do have someone who has control over my finances, now. If I fuck up, now, there's a rolling pin and some frying pans with my name on them. Grin

And finally someone gave a decent advice how to stay away from gambling!
Thank you man!
I wish you to never come back to this sh*t!

Gambling is very much like smoking.

Use your brain, control yourself. Both of those habits will destroy you in the end. There is no exception.

Ask this to yourself? "Do i want to live?"

If the answer is "yes" then stay the fck away.

-drinking is fine btw as long as you can control yourself-

keyword is "control"

Gambling and smoking indeed are same in addictive condition, but it is different if you compare like this : can gambling for fun? Yes. Can smoking for fun?of course not.

"Control" is easy word but it is hard to act like that, it is not a concrete solution.

Boht are fun because it depends on the person who's doing it. Now it will only be sad if you lost in gambling and you get disease in smoking.

Both are fun and both have a sure way to destroy your life. If only there are gross images in gambling like in packages of cigarettes. I heard pictures of lung cancer in cigarette packs is a good way to prevent people from smoking. If they have something like that on gambling, people will gamble less. Anyway, self control cannot be trusted if you are already an addict.

The best bitcoin casinos have dozens of slots on provide, with a number of choices for gamers and it is almost impossible to stay away from them.

it depends on you. you are being negative and think it's impossible and that's what make it impossible. lots of addicted gamblers have successfully did it so it's not almost impossible as you thought at all. change your mind and you can do it.

one must first fix when you want to go away from gambling is your mindset you should be able to change it. you should be able to say that gambling is only going to spend money and your time in vain. if you already know that that will be caused. then you will be more easy to stay away from gambling. good luck

but if a person is already addicted, his mindset would be mostly thinking about gambling. How can you ask a person to change his thinking habit if he keep seeing that everything will remind him of gambling. So i still feel that getting professional help is very important as the professional help can diagnose the root of his problem and deal with the corresponding measures.

I think self control is one of the things you really need to stay positive and also stay away from it, keep in mind that its your own money and you are losing it if you are gambling.
Its hard earned money you most likely worked hard for it.

Yeah without self control you will just play and play until you dont have any money left in your pocket,you must know self control and discipline to know that gambling is bad.

Best way to stay away is just find some distraction. That is the best option I think. And you also have to control yourself.

Discipline to your self and learning all about the bad things that gambling can give to a person will help for a person to stay away from it.

Well that could help a bit, in some cases or some people maybe scared in losing their money on gambling that is why they are scared of it so they tend to keep away from it, I think that will help in most people but in some case not all are scared in gambling some likes to lose more that to win because of the adrenaline they can get in playing a bet.

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

Self-control isn't always easy - but finding another hobby to take your mind off gambling would be a good start. Eventually you'll get used to not gambling - but for things like this you'd be best to go cold turkey and just try and completely quit altogether. Otherwise you might find yourself gambling when you're not meant to (and get into the mindset of gambling to recover losses etc. which just leads to more gambling).

Yeah it is not easy to stop with something you are addicted to. First thing you need to do is to be honest and talk to some of your friends and family about your addiction.
With people understanding your situation and helping you is going to be allot easier.

Haha watching porn and gambling are 2 different habits. You need to have some activities that can substitute gambling so they wont be tempted to go back to them. But i feel the most important will still be support from loves one.

Hahaha yup! you need to get a different activities that are not risky like gambling, and can earn bitcoin with it, if not I think you can not stop gambling for sure and can get tempted in getting back again.

Good start is to talk about it. Keep trying to discussing your addiction. Meet some people, have look for some new opportunities you can do. This way stop thinking about gambling. Good luck.

I totally agree with this. If you are already addicted to gambling then treat that as a disease that needs to be cure the soonest possible time. Go seek advice from your family, friends, and of course ask guidance from above.

The baddest thing that can happen with gambling is that you lose money and gambling is made for fun.

You cannot just stop gambling automatically, that should be done slowly, try to focus on different things, like I may suggest try to watch porn everyday and get addicted to it, in that case you will not loss your money. IMO Grin

rather than focus on something that you might become addicted again.
better to focus attention to the positive you could become addicted to porn you have to be careful with it dude
