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

staying away from bitcoins may look tricky at first look, but it is pretty easy if you're ready for this - just don't think about gambling at all, if you will keep your minds from it, you will stop gambling, so out with friends or go to a gym, do anything that you like and i am sure that you will quit gambling

Gambling addiction is basically because you want to win money, so the best medicine to avoid gambling is that you find a good way to earn money. Once you have find such a way you will slowly loose interest in gambling yourself.

Most of them want to recover their money fast or want to earn fast that s why they keep on gambling and gradually it will lead them to addiction for sure but when you can control it I dont think it will be a problem. Like make some distraction, trying to avoid gambling directly is not possible for them who are addicted. Need something to distract their mind to stay away from gambling for a while. Soon or later they will decrease their time to play and then they will get out from gambling

The best way to avoid gambling is reducing your bet size and ultimately end playing with free coins or play money.

If you still gamble, the addiction will never stop. You will sometime use your winning money to gamble more and more. Then you are poor again.

It is better to find a hobby or a fun activity to keep your focus away from gambling. For example like sports, games, going to your friends house, etc.

you are not reading much don't you? addiction in gambling means you are truly enable to stop it at will, like maku said you can not just decide to do other things when you are addicted to gambling, well if you can do that then I think you are not truly addicted to gamble.

After reading some comments I can see the patter here: most of you are saying that to stop gambling one should focus on something else, find another hobby.
That is perfectly fine advice - but if you are not ADDICTED! Most of you guys don't know what real addiction is. It is INABILITY to stop what you are doing.
It is not easy to say - oh, hey - let's go bowling instead of gambling. Addiction is always stronger.

Well Said! addiction can not be controlled by a person who is already addicted to something, that is why he/she is needed proper treatment by a psychiatrist and right all comments or post are always redundant already.

Staying away from gambling is easy in my opinion, you just need to control yourself and do not get attracted by it.
Find something else that you like to do these days, I think this will sinuously help you.

It is easier to be said than done, to be honest. If you have been gambling in the casino for a few years, probably the hardest decision for an addicted to quit right away since they have been addicted for a few years. Well, it is easy to stop right away if you are not easily distracted kind of person. Traveling to a new place might as well help you to distract you from gambling, TBH.

You do not have to quit instantly. You can do it gradually. Like decreasing the minutes you are gambling in a day. Then skipping a day until you reach the point that you have cleared it out of your system. I think it will be very hard if will remove gambling from an addict instantly. It should be a process.

If you have noticed that you are unable to win money/bitcoin and gambling and want to stay away to lose any other money/bitcoins, then it is not hard, as there are a number of games where you can play games for free just for fun and also make a time-table for yourself so that you will not be addicted to there and play whenever you are bored from work.

I think It will not help at all because the about gambling is you can truly get money from it an instant money that everyone can get hook too, if your hobby don't have that kind of earning then good luck in finding a way to stop your gambling addiction.

What you can do to stay away from gambling is that you must do other things that you also like to do than gambling, and that you must realize that gambling is very bad to do because it is wasted money.
But it is not bad to gamble but you have to play with some small amounts so you wont lose that much money.

A lot of people here always says that and a lot has failed even if you think that there are ways to do gambling safely there isn't such a thing because gambling is depends on luck alone!

My suggestion for you is to find another hobby so you can have fun and fill your time with it. So you will forget about gambling and your addiction will steadily dissapear.

But when you leave one hobby you should take care that you don't find yourself with another hobby, yes sometimes though better that you leave a worse addiction at the cost of bad addiction, which you can later leave easily.

Honestly addiction is not easy to remove from our self and finding other hobby is the one o the good idea but some people are not satisfied and they are looking for other solution the best for finding a new hobby.. its better to go first is psychiatrist and go check your self if they can make other solution for your addiction they can give the best solution for addiction.. just like my brother addicted in drugs and we bring my brother to the psychiatrist to ask for the solution.. and now its strong and live without drugs..

Yes you're right. besides that, you can try out at home and went on a trip to beautiful places, it can make you get away and take a break from gambling, and if you do it often, perhaps you would never gamble again

I think it will not avoid playing gambling it can be the cause of your addiction well not playing with your saved money and playing with your free coins of money will ultimately can produce a self interest in playing more gambling.

agree with you even people who have a goal to have fun in gambling. they can change their aim being to get advantage on gambling
I also think that. although you gamble just from free coin. you will play further because gambling has more appeal mate ?

yup! exactly these kind of technique a gambling sites can get more players because of their free bitcoins or sometimes gambling sites has faucet generators so a lot of players can do faucets if they had much bitcoin then they will play gambling!
