Topic: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. - page 11. (Read 1946 times)

Sorry in advance whether this topic has been created or not.
I often see topics related to stop gambling.

Arise in my mind, everyone is easy to say stop gambling but doing it is very difficult.
So I have the urge that every individual can stop gambling by having the seven elements that I give below.

Thought:
Many gambling addicts think to stop, but emotional problems that encourage individuals to have more money when winning in gambling games, the biggest impact is the opposite that gets is defeat, not to mention the impact on the family when problems arise: "I want to stop gambling". Out of the mouth.

All that is based on the mind, no, sincerely to stop gambling.

There are things you need to remember to stop gambling, not based on money, money is just greed: again, again and again.

To stop gambling there are some addicts to do.

1. Intention: the main capital intention in determining individuals to stop gambling, if someone has a strong determination to stop it will have the percentage of someone actually quitting gambling.
2. Individual mindset: this is very heavy, most difficult for many heavy addicts to do.
The mindset of individuals used to associate with gambling gangs, the mafia, now change the mindset and associate with wise, good, and respectable people, little by little addicts will wake up and the days are full of good deeds.
3. Family: in this case it is prioritized, first the family in the number position......now the family is made number 1 more time with family.
4. Hobbies: this also supports to stop playing gambling, used to be a hobby of balls, horse racing or elements that easily fall prey to gambling, now switch hobbies that do not blend gambling, such as reading, hard work, etc.
5. Debt: if the habit of debt, for now stop, accept it as is, do not look too much up, multiply look down, which needs to be remembered, above the sky there is still sky, below the ground there is still land, thankful.
6. Positive: positive thinking can also encourage someone to be more confident, first thinking evil now thinking positive patterns.
7. Greedy and emotional: stay away from this trait, if you lose in a bet you think placing more bets to win, it's all gone, you get sheer destruction, so you, have to take decision number 5 "debt" front of destruction for your, that's for sure.

If you do the above I believe that anyone can get rid of the habit of gambling.
The important thing to do something that must be a commitment in determining success.

For me gambling is fun.

It doesn't matter if you cannot really stop gambling, as long as you can know when to stop or reduce the intensity to play gambling, you don't have to worry. But yes, you need to control yourself in gambling because of many gamblers forget to control themselves, and that makes them lose too much money. Leaving gambling will be the best thing that we can do before it is too late for us, especially if we are too weak to deny the temptations for playing gambling. There is no reason for us to stay at the gambling place if we don't want to become addicted to gambling.

~~can you start with saying,, "it is obvious that gambling addiction can destroy people" so it will not sound negative for gambling~~

It is obvious enough that gambling can destroy people especially to those who are becoming an gambling addict or those who are addicted to gambling

I agree that it is hard to quit gambling once you get addicted

But I can't agree that the withdrawal is going to be that hard or long. After all, gambling is not drugs or drug addiction (like with narcotics, antidepressants, or sedatives) which change your brain chemistry on a fundamental, possibly irreversible, level, and there is real suffering that occurs upon the abrupt cessation (going "cold turkey")

The point is, it is not the withdrawal that makes gamblers come back. As an example, you can be forced to stop gambling due to some lasting external factor, then feel discomfort for some time like a couple days, and that would be pretty much all. Then, in a month or so, you are gambling again with fever and passion as addicted as before

Easier said than done actually. Once you got deeper into gambling, there's no turning back. And if there is a way out of the mess, it will be pretry hard and the withdrawal would be pretty long as well. Even a regular trip to the psychiatrist didn't save some of thr chronic gamblers I knew, and ended up in jails due to their unpaid debt to different people and companies

Yes it is a long term process because there is no instant that a player can really stop playing gambling because they need to do first is to minimize and reduce playing until they can stop playing and they need advice to understand if they still being addictive there is not good future that comes to him.

Addicted playing is not good but if you are player who play sometimes only so you will be safe from losing a lot of money. Relatives can really help by giving advice and help to recover and how he can really stop playing.

Addicted to gambling and want to stop suddenly is not an easy thing to do in gambling. This is a long process, depending on the level of addiction. If the level of addiction is too high, it will be even more difficult to stop it. But in this case it can still recover with the help of family and close friends. so with their suggestions the addiction can be lost.

Gambling is not good, but still many people are taking risk to gamble because of possible huge earning. Also i think gambling is the easy way to increase your money if you win but if not people spend again until they do it regularly and become addictive to it. Thats why we should know if its good to continue or stop it, dont waste your money you should have plan on how you spend it, do gamble just for fun not for hobby.

relaxation, relax, has its own meaning in the human soul, should not be done based on a "hobby".
If "relaxation" is released with 'hobby' guidelines then the shock of the soul, emotions, anger that occurs when you see your support, lose, in a match.
This is a factor if, if someone decides to stop gambling, he must also be kept away from the worst 'hobbies' in the past.

"relaxation" can be done with yoga exercises. This yoga technique can make you disappear from anxiety and tension, will stabilize the mind to "relax" from the stress of gambling, yoga can make you a directed imagination, breathing and muscle.
So that you will forget your bad past hobbies.

I'm sure, actually these three things are enough to make someone stop gambling, but it goes back to each individual because everyone has a different level of control.  I personally can not really stop gambling, I am only able to reduce the intensity of my gambling, and currently I only gamble when my mood arises (sports betting) and sometimes just for to fill in the free time (light gambling).

Number two is quite interesting. Guess you are trying to suggest that gambling addict got their habits from gangsters or mafia. Well, that probably depends on the kind of gambling. And gangsters videos are probably where they mostly learn the habit from. I don't think this is totally the case though. I tend to believe that people who gamble regularly without being profitable are gambling addicts.  "Enjoying" gambling (without being profitable) can lead to addiction or can be considered an addiction. .
