Overcoming a gambling addiction can be really hard. It requires determination and patience to change. It may take some time, but in the end you'll feel better and gradually break free from it.

Attempting to quit your hard addiction on your own can be extremely difficult, but seeking help from others or consulting a doctor can in my opinion make the process much smoother and more effective, as one of my friend was really addicted to gambling but after the help he got from others he left gambling for good and now his life is a way much better.

Playing gambling wont really be that bad but it would really be entirely be depending on how things should really be moderated because on the time that you are really that spending on the money which arent supposed to be

spent then this is an indicative sign that you are already that addicted to gambling which is really that bad. This is the main thing that you should really be avoiding on the time that you do gamble is on which you shouldn't really be that letting yourself that addicted. Play on the amount which you can afford to lose and never ever consider on chasing up your losses or making gambling as your source of income because having these kind of motives or intents would really be a catalyst for you to play even more until you do run down flat on which it is really that very a common scenario.

I myself, cant be considered going into a point on being an addicted gambler but cant really deny that there are really moments which i do chase out my losses and bust up everything in the end.
On that time then i do make out myself some self realizations and telling to myself that i shouldn't really do that in next time because it would really be bringing out that devastation on your bankroll.

What you ask is very good, but you also have to take into consideration if that person has a personality similar to that of the person who has the problem, then this type of advice can be very good, however I would say that the person who has the gambling addiction is due to which games were the ones you preferred, or if it is from gambling addiction but in sports betting, then whatever the addiction is, the advice is better, but to treat the addiction it is a lie that They have to tell him to stop playing, that's impossible, so an addiction is not left, I would think that the best thing is for the addict to continue playing, but with shorter periods of time, that is, if the player plays 2 hours, Reduce it to 1 hour, then after 2 or 3 days it is reduced to half an hour, this to contain the impulses that one has regarding the game of rest, I think it can be reduced even to 10-5 minutes and that the player does not feel the strong impulse to be playing, to be involved in the game, with sports betting I think it would be a little more difficult, because any sport will want to bet, so these types of things are what have to be seen as how you can reduce the number of bets.

But the players who have come out of their addiction is not completely, perhaps they have more control over their actions, and apart from everything, they can have several options to beat the addiction, a way that they see is very good, is that the person dedicates himself to doing physical activities, or going out, even going out to the movies, going to places where he could have fun without spending so much money, bowling, and if he can change to a sport like cycling, swimming, soccer, it's much better, since the brain focuses on the fact that the body should improve, it could be that they place bets, the one who loses pays for the beers, or something like that, I wouldn't stop betting, but I wouldn't spend that much money either, the prbelma of an addict is that he spends money very quickly and it is not the idea, it has to be preserved.

How pathetic your story but from what I can grab you didn't go through any form of processes or counseling to get ride of the habit of spending extravagantly on gambling, it was the condition of things after you had quited your job that led to your realization.

I therefore think that some people are addicted to spending much on Gambling more than they are supposed to all because they have the money to fund the habit. Take that source from them and they will hit the hard rock and come to a realization of setting budget for their gambling lifestyle. Glad to extract this idea from your story.

Almost there but the realization that you're too addicted on it and the other things you do were already affected will make you avoid it and limit your gambling time.

And if you're experiencing that but you're also looking for solutions, it's best for you to assess yourself and see to it that you're not yet the type of being addicted.

Just admit that you're losing and you're lightly accepting it. Because the ones that becomes addicted are the ones that's have a hard time accepting the reality.

I don't think that any body that was bale to break away from addiction will still be interested to gamble because we all know that with that, it will trigger the previous addiction and bring the urge back to life. Those people that had suffered from gambling addiction are always far away from gambling activities because that is the only way the spirit of gambling can locate it way back to them. People that escape addiction are mostly seen having lost of interest in any gambling activities because that is the best way to keep themselves safe from it.

I was once an addicted gambler but today am no more as I gamble responsibly. How I was able to overcome my addiction was that I quitted gambling for a long period of time,and this made be not to see and understand that gambling is not a means of making profit but for entertainment.

What I do presently,before I went back to gambling was to come up how I can gamble responsibly. I do set out a weekly gambling budget for my gambling activities so that when I exhaust the money,I stop gambling the the next week. Another thing is that I also have a time set aside for gambling so that when my time is up,I stop gambling even though,I am winning or at loss. See gambling as fun and only use money that you can avoid to loss to gamble.

I have never been addicted to gambling, but I did come close to becoming one. The first thing I did when I almost lost control in gambling was to stop the gambling activities that I was doing for quite a long time, up to several days. I need to do this to calm myself and control my emotions. and I will return to gambling once my emotions are controlled.

There is another thing that I do, namely by asking someone to accompany me to play. so that when I lose control, then someone will try to revive me.

And I'm a bit pessimistic if someone who is already heavily addicted to gambling, can wake up in a short period of time. They will realize their bad behavior when they have lost everything, including money and the people closest to them.

Some people will says that gambling is a good way of earning but in my opinion gambling is a bad addiction and addiction does not go easily. A gambler have to minimize the timing for gambling, minimize the money for gambling and then he should overcome it by involving just one time in a week.

I think if a person is so busy in gambling that he initiate selling of whole things to utilize the amount in gambling then getting rid of such habit will takes too long time and gambler himself has no idea that what is bad or good for him because he is in continues trying of getting more money so in such greed he loss his each and everything even his own value in a society.

If I'm not mistaken there are threads on the same subject but to still answer your question, I once had a hard time managing my gambling habits. I was before spending $3k four times a week (which is a huge amount for me), not including extra bets on remaining days of the week. What made me realize things is when I quit my job back then. Money became more of a struggle which knocked me on my feet. Realization pushed me to manage my finances since then, and also made me see how hard it is to earn money and why it is not advisable to spend that much in gambling. Quite of a cliché story but for sure many of us came to that realization.

Nowadays I am limiting my weekly budget in gambling to $500 'coz this is the amount I can afford losing in exchange for chances and entertainment.

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"
