I agree, distracting yourself with another kind of game that is also related to gambling will still not help you to conquer gambling addiction. It will only make you more addicted and will push yourself to gamble more since it will only trigger your emotion to gamble again. Better to stop gambling at all, if you want to move forward, resting for good is the key and not anything to distract your mind if you are addicted.
If you are an addicted gambler and you want to stop, changing to another kind of game is just like wasting of time to me because that won’t stop the addiction. One of the things that I do recommend to people that are addicted to gambling whenever they want to stop gambling is for them to always spend less time on their mobile phones. They should just get another thing that will make them happy and focus on that. If the person has friends that are not gamblers, it’s better to spend time with them. I am sure that by doing that, he will start thinking less about gambling, which I am sure is really going to help.

I've experienced big loss and I've made myself on the right track. However I wasn't able to keep myself away from the gambling habit for a longer time period. What makes me better than the past is the losing amount. Compared to the old days I've set my limits and never go beyond. This keeps my living undisturbed in all situations and I've shared my losing experience in a thread so that someone into hard addiction could get out of it.

If you are able to decrease your losses progressively each cycle of addiction you face, it means you are already doing progress, therefore it should encourage you to keep trying to completely get rid of new addiction cycles futurely.

Emotions toiled with us on a regular basis, we know our routine and follow some beneficial routes. We have targets to achieved in the system, in that way most of us becomes addicted to the process, we only wants the best results in the system, some gamblers are ready to wager with their life saving just to grab some cool money. Quiting gambling is not easy, we're left with no single option that dealing with this space ourselves. Gambling addiction is everywhere, we bear with disciplinary measures that takes us to another level differently.

A game that doesn't include wagering will do the trick to make your mind busy and forget about gambling once in a while but trying a different game that still falls down under gambling?
I was about to say this too. You need something else that doesn't include gambling. If you are switching between games but still gambling, you cannot move from gambling. We need to find an alternative that does not include gambling but would give us the same feelings/dopamine release. Self-willingness and a way to divert our minds will be the best course of action if we focus on changing our gambling habits. Also, a game having the same characteristics as gambling games will not help as much as the other games could help. It's so easy to access many games available for smartphones, PC, and all other platforms. If someone is unable to play physical games, they can always choose one form them. Then again, if that person lacks the will to do it, then will is as hard as it should be. You can access all the gambling platforms right in your hand. With a smartphone and an internet connection. So have the will to do it and there are many easy ways that could lead you to make that happen.
I think the moment you used all the money you have win from winning the jackpot, it is considered addicted. Because to continue playing even after winning and you starts losing, it gives you the thinking of maybe the next one will make you win. It's not an obvious act but this is actually the beginning of addiction.
Yeah, we can say a gambler is win in gambling when he already become a responsible gambler.Gambling surely make we lose our money in the long run, we need to understand when to continue and stop during gambling. If we're already make a good amount of profit, we should need to quit and then celebrate our winning. If we're lose, we also need to quit and don't deposit anymore, just play again tomorrow and hope it will be your's day.
We think that a person who has won a large sum of money and continues to play is not addicted all the time, it is because he does not know how to control his emotions, because it can happen that someone goes to a casino and plays and wins a lot, then continues to get excited. and when they see that they have lost everything, and after that experience they never come back, because it will be said that they are unlucky, then this type of thing can also happen, now if it is a person who always frequents the casino that always loses, and suddenly loses, he wins a lot of money and loses it, because there he can consider himself a follower, but he still has to correct a lot, a person who enters a casino must know that any act is under his responsibility, and this is something which can be considered, because a caisno assumes that a person is over 18 years of age and yes, everything they do is responsible for what they do. If the person is irresponsible or something like that , the casino is not responsible for what he does, and so it is not responsible for ensuring that he does not spend the house's money, or that he does not spend what he has to give to the Woman , or something like that , What interests the casino is that the person Plays and leaves money there in the casino, why? Because that is their business model, then it makes no sense for a casino to be blamed for a person's addiction, because as I say to a casino the main rule is that children do not come in to play.
Starting from that premise there are many things to Develop , the first is that people who become addicted are under their own responsibility, a person has to do other things to be more responsible, and that has nothing to do with the casino , the casino does not care if a Person is Responsible or not , as I said before, it is important that they are of legal age and if it is a physical casino, then they should not make trouble or look for a fight, if the person throws all their money there, Well, the casino is not to blame, if the person falls into addiction, then the casino is not to blame either , these are the things that many people should Understand.
People who have more hallucinations are those who have made big profits from gambling, or max wins from their games. I also think I have this virus, and the step I prioritize today is to keep myself busy, as several people have said. gave advice, and indeed it was quite helpful, such as reading books, sports and so on, so that my thinking became wiser day by day in thinking about gambling.
Most gambling addicts experience this problem and I have friends who are addicted to gambling which was initially quite difficult to advise and even he did not listen to parents. I once asked him why it was so difficult to stop playing gambling "he answered because it always hallucinating gets big wins". Thus encouraging the desire to continue to play and increasingly difficult to get out of the addiction. Luckily after being taken to a rehabilitation place at this time he has been separated from addiction, busy with positive activities and sports is also one of the ways that can be done because in rehabilitation they also practice it besides touching psychology.I don't have anyone who knows my current situation, so they look at me as normal, because my addiction is not that prominent, so they don't know about it, and you have to know, this is really my desire without any other encouragement from people around me to help get rid of the addiction, it's difficult, but I'm sure I can control it in a few weeks after getting used to productive activities
Maybe the level of addiction that you are experiencing is not too severe, so by busy with yourself in more positive activities can provide cure slowly. But I doubt people who are already addicted to being severe in gambling to heal themselves without being helped by others and are lucky if at this time you can control yourself so that you can be responsible every time you want to gamble.

This will be a very good option to reduce the desire to gamble because with new activities that make us forget about gambling, gradually this will be like a stimulus for us that can just free ourselves from gambling that has become an addiction. It's just that in this case the level is that when finding something new that is more fun it must be seen first the pleasure we find because in the end if the new pleasure we have has a negative impact it is the same as getting out of the lion's cage and entering the crocodile's cage which makes us trapped again.
But if the new thing is something positive then obviously it is very good, I personally for things like this always get together with some colleagues and family to just chat and relax to fill the time with small talk and it is still quite effective for myself to forget about gambling even though I still do gambling but I can limit it now.

That is very much better instead of wasting your time towards gambling as you are only risking your life away, you know there are some wins on the process but what if you will have more losses because you don't actually have a thing towards it then you already know what will happen to you in case that happens. Just try to imagine it, you will already know the answer yourself that is why it is much better to take another hobby, a hobby that will be an investment for you to earn more money while risking the losses.
It is not really a problem to be in gambling but the problem is when we are not able to control ourselves which makes the gambling activities we do actually lead to negativity. The context is still around that so to do gambling I consider it not a problem but with a note that we must know the limits and self-control that we practice both in time management and financial management.
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"

There are two types of addicted gamblers in my opinion, those that made some mistakes and turned to heavy gamblers but unrealizing their mistakes, they take correction and adjust the way they play and the other are gamblers that turned to be an addicted gambler but failed to take correction about the habit of gambling. If you are a serious gambler and a very concerned one for that, you don't need any one to share their experience or how they got out because the situation might be different, yours could be as a result of over playing and mine could be as a result of making wrong choice of bets.
So, play your thing and keep up with what you do best, don't over depends on gambling, when you lost, take a break and if it's minor, change strategy and your skill, luck will locate you the next time you bet.
Well, I am not a regular gambler and I have never been an addicted gambler, but with the stories of those regular gamblers, I can limit myself from gambling so I can not end up being a gambling addict.
I believe these stories you have heard about how bad gambling can be and what it can cause when you turn into an addicted gambler. In this case, I have seen some gamblers who are too addicted to gambling, and a lot of these people are big guys that had money before but not their money are no were to be found because they have used their money to gamble and now they are left out with nothing.
Some days ago, while I was going to the market, I passed through a betting shop and I found someone strictly necked and I asked some people around what was happening and they told me that the guy gambled with his house and lost the bet and now he's frustrated and his frustrations have led him to go necked outside the shop.
So, my conclusion is to always limit yourself from gambling so you will not lose everything.

So in my opinion to reduce these activities you have to have new activities that are more fun, because I am very sure that slowly you will be able to get out of that comfort zone but but you have to consistently do it, that's all I think.

The important thing is to learn from the experience of gamblers who are old in this field and have been playing regularly. They will tell you how much important is money management in gambling. Also, they will give us the realistic picture that gambling is not all about making money, it is more about risking money to make or lose our money.
Another thing which I noted is that new gamblers are usually not willing to get knowledge from the experienced ones and they are more keen on playing themselves and learning through experience.
done or whatever things that sensible on doing so but somewhat hearing or reading up others experiences would really be adding up that additional awareness and knowledge which you might not really be able to learn with and this is the advantage on having that kind of behavior on trying to read up others situation when it comes to various situations or conditions which it would really be saving you up or something that relevant on your part. Newbies doesnt usually loves to hear out or read up other peoples experiences on which they would really be following and doing things that they do have in mind and dont care nor mind about those past results or outcomes came from other people as long they would really be getting in line with their own decisions and interest then they would really be proceeding it until they would be experiencing some unfortunate stuffs then this is where self realizations would happen and regrets do always happen at the end.
They have to be knocked out by the reality that it is not going to do them any good when they're addicted. Looking for ways on how to divert the attention is easy but staying on that activity is going to be their battle.
Addiction is a bad habit that is difficult to get rid of, but even though it is difficult it all depends on the addict's intention, if the intention is higher then it will be easy to get rid of the addiction, but if it is not high then it will be difficult to get rid of the addiction, sometimes habits that are already Being attached will be difficult to just stop, it may take a long process and time to get out of all those feelings.At least slowly reduce gambling activities and also stay away from the internet if you are addicted to online gambling, but if you gamble in offline casinos, just avoid that place and can do other hobby activities for some time then return to gambling as usual, so that when you reduce it slowly will help reduce one's confidence in gambling, sometimes gambling requires less confidence to play, the less self-confidence there will be, resulting in a desire to stop completely. That's the experience of a friend of mine who has quit his gambling addiction.
This is why self-willingness is the key. But as long as we keep gambling and not divert our minds to other things, we will never be able to understand that. Let me give you an example that I have experienced. There's a game called 8 Ball Pool available for smartphones. I used to play that all day long. I won't say that I got addicted to it but from time to time, one thing that came to my mind was how can I play it better or calculate the possibilities of what to do in the next match. Kinda like it got stuck in my head. I was thinking about it even when I was not playing it.
Then I uninstalled the game. Try some other games. Not only a single one but multiple games. That helped me to forget about that 8 Ball Pool game. Now I don't even play the other games and I can focus on other things. I know it's not as complicated as gambling addiction but doing something like this really helps. In order to keep on it, all you need is self-willingness.
I agree about that, the attitude, being willing to conquer addiction is setting their own foundation. And with that example that has happened to you, when we're spending a lot of time from doing a thing, that makes us wonder on how to become better from it and it just gets stuck to our mind until we don't notice that we're spending a lot of time and resources from it. Good thing that you're able to overcome it. Then I uninstalled the game. Try some other games. Not only a single one but multiple games. That helped me to forget about that 8 Ball Pool game. Now I don't even play the other games and I can focus on other things. I know it's not as complicated as gambling addiction but doing something like this really helps. In order to keep on it, all you need is self-willingness.

Special treatment is needed regarding addicted gamblers because it will be much more difficult to cure them if they are not treated properly. Addicted gamblers usually have a tendency to hallucinate their winnings and for this reason they have difficulty stopping, so creating another activity is one thing that can make them stop gambling. I am not an addicted gambler, but what I feel is that gambling can be avoided when we have other activities and have much more productive activities.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?
For gamblers who are addicted, it may be quite difficult to manage financial management in gambling because usually they will continue to gamble. Except for ordinary gamblers like us who have the ability to manage the finances we spend when gambling because maybe we set a monthly or weekly budget for gambling.
"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"
Stopping gambling will be very difficult if it is not taken seriously by experienced people and if the encouragement from those closest to you is not strong enough it will make it difficult for them to stop, especially if there is no desire from that person to stop gambling
So in my opinion to reduce these activities you have to have new activities that are more fun, because I am very sure that slowly you will be able to get out of that comfort zone but but you have to consistently do it, that's all I think.
