Thank you for providing advice on what steps to take, everyone has their own story and way of doing this, I would like to thank @Drawesome @Die_empty @Kakmakr @bitbollo and @aylabadia05 for providing the steps directly, it would be very useful for me in dealing with this, and on average it conveys the same pattern that I can say it is a credible step to take.
Sorry I can't reply one by one, but I thank you again for the people who have given their advice.

Some people say why not read the article directly, ask the experts, I think it's much better to ask people who have experience in this matter directly, then some people suggest that I read topics that discuss the same attachments, actually I can do that. but it will take time and lots of messy posts, unfortunately I forgot not to use self-moderate for this my thread.  Cry

"I want to find out because I think your experience in the case as I mentioned will be useful for readers, especially for me personally"
Personally, when it comes to recovering from a gambling addiction, it is not always that easy, and likewise that goes to drug addict, and all other form of addiction, whereby for anyone to fully recover, one needs to have a very strong mindset to change, and disconnecting himself from any environment the will tempt him/her into gambling, which for me, I can only see that for those who intends fully recover must take the right step in meeting the trained medical personal specialist whose job is the help "strong addict" with the right treatment plan recover fully from gambling gradually.
I agree, there are a lot of ways, steps, and trials for them. Addiction is addiction no matter what, even if that is gambling or drugs.
That's why we have a lot of rehab these days for a lot of kinds of addiction.
I think the most common problem of other are they don't know they are already into addiction or they can't admit and it will lead to not seeking help for some professionals.

It is a nice method and really could work. Looking for some distractions so that you won't be able to gamble is a strategy that can work for the most.

But for someone who can't do it, I don't know what to think about them. When you're taking your time doing it and some activities is eating up your time, you'll eventually forget to gamble and even your addiction.
We have to do diversification so that our minds are not always thinking about gambling. That's what I did to take my mind off gambling. At least it worked for me and now I don't think about gambling too often because I realized that there is a lot I can do besides just gambling.

Maybe they can do different things and not just sit idly by because that can make our minds go back to thinking about gambling. We have to actively do whatever we want and without procrastinating so that no time is wasted just sitting still. You can try it if you want.

I want to ask those of you who have a hard addiction experience in gambling and then you can treat it yourself, and today still playing gambling but with the principle of good management and financial management in gambling.
I want to know how you break away from the addiction, you can mention the actions taken or what kind of steps? And how long do you need time to break away from the addiction that has been experienced?

"I want to find out because I think your experience in the case as I mentioned will be useful for readers, especially for me personally"
I will just add a little story about the gambling experience that I see in general, that someone who will start playing gambling before they have made a plan or strategy that will be played in the gambling, and they are aware and ready to lose their money. if you lose and there are also those who hope for luck in gambling.
Someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to stop playing, but sometimes if he has experienced such a big problem, maybe he will repent and stop gambling. It does take a long time to be able to control or stop gambling.

Basically it has to be like that, like you said before they want to gamble they have to agree with themselves first, whatever happens they have to accept including defeat and before they gamble they also have to prepare money that they will not argue or even get emotional if the money is finally lost, I think that's a responsible gambler. Yes and probably everyone already knows that if it has entered the stage of addiction it will be very difficult to stop, I think there are two factors that can make them stop, first maybe like you said they experienced something big or a big loss, and secondly I think boredom can come to them. Honestly I'm one of those people who can quit because of boredom, not because of too many defeats but defeats can also be boring, but honestly for myself I purely quit because I was bored with the game there, even after getting a win I felt normal and the thrill seemed to disappear. I honestly don't know what happened to me, but I'm very happy that I was finally able to quit and the curiosity in my mind was finally gone.
If you feel bored, that is purely your own personal nature, perhaps it could also be said to be a way to stop gambling and boredom can occur because someone has been doing any activity for a long time and wants to try something new, it is true that someone is old. Over time you will feel bored with gambling if you do it for fun, but this is not the case for people who are addicted to gambling, they will play continuously because they hope for luck in gambling.

Maybe I have experienced a gambling addiction, but it seems like the gambling addiction I experienced is not yet a serious gambling addiction.
Serious or not, as long as you've been addicted in gambling, that's all that matters.

The method I use is only by reducing gambling activity and trying to form new habits that are different from usual for a while, maybe more than 1 month, I can distract myself from thinking about gambling.
It is a nice method and really could work. Looking for some distractions so that you won't be able to gamble is a strategy that can work for the most.

I do not necessarily think that one can step away from addiction, or at least not forever. Addiction is an intrinsic human experience and as much as we dislike it, unless we tread carefully around the traps of dopamine abuse, we can easily become addicted to whatever the source of the dopamine rush was. For some people the lure of addiction is much stronger than others, so for them, it is just best to avoid things like rewarding your own bad behavior with dopamine-releasing drugs or actions.
 

So drugs are an external influence that can speed up the addiction process, I also just heard about dopamine which influences the addiction process and has a bad effect on anything. It acts as a sedative so you don't panic too much when gambling, always calm but has a bad effect. this will be a more complex problem, not just gambling addiction but also drug addiction.

#TBT addiction topics

Addiction is a disease and needs medical care, and/or professional consultation, if someone falls into a subsequent spiral of uncontrol, the only thing that saves them is not to bet again,really, how to explain it; only healthy people can to gambler, that is, they lose or win, they come out well process, for example, it is always a mistake to think that the losing addict is the sick one and the winner is not an addict or the one who manages to dominate his times is not, but it is only a matter of time.

The addiction to betting is a mental illness. You can't get the thought out of playing, just playing, winning or losing is irrelevant to the addict.

I can give you advice on how if you have a downsing, then, don't worry, keep your level of bets and don't change anything you've been doing well, reduce the size of the bet, or simply take a vacation, in my case around 2015,(+-) I totally retired from poker,I came back as who says to try crypto poker casinos and I'm here again.

You do not have to prove yourself when you are in bad situations, on the contrary, retiring at any time, it is a test that every player must do, at some point in his life, be it due to fatigue, family life, children, others, etc.

I have no experience of addiction in gambling, I always play but there are limits at certain times, for example on weekends, this does not cause gambling addiction every day, of course, still overcoming not to be addicted.

Yeah of course with the principle of management and money management must be good if not it can be spent on gambling, you have to be as small as possible the percentages that are generated for gambling but I saw in another thread the average of their income is 5-10 percent for gambling so I say it's still not a severe addiction.

If you want to quit you must have a strong principle to quit gambling sometimes this is difficult to do and help in any way such as to a psychologist I think they can help and guide you to a healthy path.

Although I have not been addicted ever since I started gambling, I really don't even take gambling very seriously, and I am now very busy with business and other activities. But for someone who had addiction, according to him, how he broke out of it was to just be first of all determined that he had a bad gambling habit, then derive some strategy that helped him finally stop gambling, although he never stopped it instantly. I think that every compulsive gambler had their own strategy before they could stop gambling.

I personally have never been addicted to gambling, but I do have some very close friends who once have been or currently are addicted to gambling.  It's heartbreaking as I know all to well how strong of a hold addiction can have on people.

Of those friends of mine whom were addicted that now are "better", I've simply seen a lot counseling (seeing someone for one on ones) as well as having called gambling addiction hotlines.  You've got to really want to it though.  Those who truly wanted to fix things put in the effort and it paid off.

1. Remove the account and uninstall the browser at the same time.
2. Stay away from environments that can redirect the desire to play.
3. Busy yourself with other activities.
4. Convey your desire to stop gambling to a close friend so that he can help you get out of the problem you are trying to overcome.
5. Motivate yourself that your future situation will be much better without gambling.
6. Always remember that the actions you have done while gambling are the twists and turns of life.
7. Steadfast yourself to stick to the commitment to stop gambling.
The steps mentioned will provide an opportunity to release an addiction of 80% of the level of success, and many other members also give their opinions about how OP can release addiction by personal self, all these stages will succeed 100% if the OP does the stage as a whole without much thinking, and Or uncomfortable with friends or the environment who used to play gambling not to gather again with them, because I also did this one year ago, and proved effective.

After everything is finished, there will be an open thought and good self -control, so you will get wisdom in gambling if you want it again op, like me now, but it should be remembered that this is not easy to do, you need time to arrive at Your point has wiser and more mature thoughts in responding to gambling.

Each person's character is different, not the same and moreover discussing addiction will never end in this forum, you might be able to find many ways in this forum about addiction and how to get out of there, I don't know whether this will also be a mega thread Also later, I hope you pay attention to this Utas also every time and lock it at any time if you feel enough to know the answer you are looking for.

I have a friend he just changes his mindset to be able to reduce his addiction, you must remember that the process to quit gambling addiction takes a long time, the first thing to reduce your gambling activity then move away from everything related to gambling, for example if you are addicted to gambling Online then avoid activities related to the internet, after that looking for other activities of social activities will be better or busy working will help you reduce it. Just follow the process everything runs after that you will stop alone.  Wink

The character was the major reaction for not retrieving from the addiction.Because some people will have the attitude in their way of approach,So they won’t accept your words at the time of the addiction.To be frank,they never hear your words at their addiction.The gamblers capacity will be the soul reason to recover from the addiction.

The OP may get enough words to retire from the addiction,So self control will be the important reason.One of my friends get away from the addiction by their own efforts.Because his wife said,she will divorce him.If he not quit the gambling.For his family he had made the self control and quit the gambling addiction.Even now he is playing the gambling without the knowledge of his wife.He had not quit the game,he just reduce the game.Most important was he is not playing gambling in his home.

"I want to find out because I think your experience in the case as I mentioned will be useful for readers, especially for me personally"
OP, whether you believe it or not, in general every individual involved in the world of gambling has their own way, whether it's to stop or try gambling.

If you gamble, you have to believe in the meaning of gambling itself, maybe there are hundreds of sayings that many people say, maybe I will give you one quote that is meaningful about addiction.
Quote
Gambling is an action and a form of game that is a matter of chance for those who take part in it.

In the quote above, maybe you can draw one conclusion, you gamble really based on luck. In this way, it will be easy for you to come to the conclusion to stop or play gambling, if you think that gambling is a benefit or bad luck for you, Of course, it's quite easy for you to decide on one conclusion, stop or play as luck.

Maybe I have experienced a gambling addiction, but it seems like the gambling addiction I experienced is not yet a serious gambling addiction. The method I use is only by reducing gambling activity and trying to form new habits that are different from usual for a while, maybe more than 1 month, I can distract myself from thinking about gambling.

You have to create a new habit to divert your mind from gambling so you can forget about it while you are busy with this new activity. Do it for a week or two and see how it goes. And if you feel that it is still not enough, you can continue until you can really divert your attention from gambling. But everything will not work if you don't have a strong intention to reduce gambling activities because everything depends on us who live it.

Not to brag, but I'm happy to share my experience in overcoming gambling addiction because I've successfully managed it and have been consistently making money from trading for over a year now. Like many of my previous posts in this forum, it's crucial to take sufficient breaks between consecutive losses or wins to regain control of your emotions. Take some time to review all your trades, whether in trading or gambling, to learn from your experiences. I recommend starting with this practice before considering more long-term strategies. You'll definitely notice a significant difference if you can consistently follow these steps correctly.

I'm not addicted to gambling but know someone who seems addicted. I'm only basing it based on what I can see from him but there's no actual diagnosis of gambling addiction. And I think the younger you are, it's easier to stop your gambling addiction since you will still have plenty of time and things you haven't experienced yet in real world. And those experiences growing up might help you stop your addiction. For example, as you grow up, you realize that you will have more and bigger responsibility and gambling isn't part of it. Also young minds, is easier to convince to have a different perspective. But if you're already old and you've been gambling most of your life, it'll be harder to stop that addiction. Cause that's what you've been doing for years so it would need a lot of effort and time to change that. Maybe the thing that could make them realize things and stop their addiction is when they've experience losing something or someone important because of gambling.

I really believe that asking this kind of subjective inquiry will only result to tons of spam opinions that doesn’t really came from a gambking addict user. More or less you will only get an opinion from a signature campaign poster that posting in gambling board for the sake of gambling post requirements even though they re not really gambling.

Don’t gamble if you don’t want to be addicted. Asking an advice from a previous gambling addict is a waste of time since experience teach them how to overcome it that means you will need to experience it first before you overcome since addiction can’t be fight while you are not starting yet on your gambling journey.

It seems you read the situation with this thread well.
Do you have to ask for advice directly? Because many former addicts have given their advice to other people and these people spread it through the media, through books and several articles. Or ask a psychologist who knows more about addicts, it doesn't mean the psychologist has ever been an addict. Addiction cannot be fought, but it can be prevented with self-awareness when they get into gambling. They must know what the risks are.
