Its easy to stop if you're not an addicted gambler but for those who cant control themselves it will be hard and it depends how deep the addiction is. Sometimes we need to seek for profesional to be able to overcome this addiction and doing it alone wont be possible.
Thats why its important to set a limit before trying to gamble. Be aware of the reasons why you want to play, if its for fun or you want to grow your money because if the latter is your reason then that would be the start of your problem that can lead to addiction.
Topic: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. - page 12. (Read 1897 times)
because all of us need some sort of relaxation.
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.
You can't tell someone who enjoys mountaineering: "Relax with scuba diving instead". It simply won't work.
I never 'tell' people to do what they don't want to do.And never told people that the vodka drink wasn't drunk, people would know that vodka was drunk.
Hope for success, "No." not me who experienced success and destruction, you who do, you who bear the risk, you who climb, also you who fall, it is natural law.
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.
But I realize not all the time gambling is always bad because they have good advatange that we can get from playing like earning money and how to control or knowing our limitation that we can apply in real life.
If you can get to know how many people ruin their life in gambling, you will see that it is hard to have a clear mind about gambling. We will not think about the advantage of gambling because many of them will think that gambling can be the way to earn money. They will not set the limit in gambling, and they still playing gambling even if they risk more money. It is good if you can realize about controlling your mind in gambling and having limitations while you gamble.
The ideal situation would be to leave gambling before it destroys you. This is easier said than done, especially when one gets obsessed with it. Many gamblers, especially the sport lovers take gambling as fun.
Approaching it as an investment in which you can win or lose and also analysing the risk and reward factor would allow you make better decisions in regards to your gambling lifestyle.
gambling cannot Destroy us if we will not allow this to happen.Approaching it as an investment in which you can win or lose and also analysing the risk and reward factor would allow you make better decisions in regards to your gambling lifestyle.
we are the Pilot of our own life so if there are one who can prevent this to happen is no one but our self.
the risk of losing is more than winning but if we will just treat this as funny thing then nothing to lose but we will win happiness .
You will if you do responsible gambling.
just like drinking liquor, it will not harm you if you drink responsibly, let's just say that all these things are done for entertainment purpose so we have to achieve the purpose in gambling.
well year ilike liquor if you don't want to get drunk then take small amount but if you are too desperate then drink more that your capacity.
entertaining our self is what gambling can promise but winning?that is beyond the reality because luck will dictate about that.
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.

But I realize not all the time gambling is always bad because they have good advatange that we can get from playing like earning money and how to control or knowing our limitation that we can apply in real life.
In short, it is the player's sole decision if he really wanted to stop gambling or not. It is the determination of implementing self-discipline to end his own gambling addiction to the betterment of his life. And that I think is the one lacking on OP's list.
This is definitely true. We all know that gambling is addictive so we should know how to take full control of it. It involves our funds and it could even ruin our lives if we'll never know how to handle things appropriately.
A friend of mine has lost all his assets including their family business because of gambling addiction. We should wait for that kind of scenario before we stop gambling.
We don't actually have to stop it as long as we are enjoying it and if we'll know our limits. Everything is a matter of proper handling and self-discipline.
In a way every addiction kills that addict. Thats why they are all a type of poison and that is why people like it. However a responsible gambler, like I have previously knows his bankroll and his gambling habit. They would know how to manage their work life, personal life and the gambling habit. If they cannot do this properly then they need to seek professional help. I think every gambler should spend some time taking care of their bad habits and promise to themselves not to waste too much time and money on playing.
After all we all should help others seek the proper path in life and not shame the addicts. They can change their ways with time and they need support.

I think your mindset is really needed here.
If you are an addict and you've been wasting your money into gambling for a long time, better set your priorities straight. You will not be rich with gambling, even professional gamblers lose their money in gambling. You know that you are risking your money in gambling, I can ensure you that it is not investing but just risking your money into it. Even if you want to fix yourself, it will all start with you.

Medical experts are considering addiction as a disease. In which case, it needs professional treatment.
Indeed, actually I knew someone here inthe nearby who is really addicted to cockfighting. I sometimes heard their quarrel with his wife about his addiction, he often promised that he will stop once and for all and yet he still continue lol. His addiction is worse up to extent that his budget for his family are now greatly reduced. Well, I heard that sometimes he won but in most cases he lost lol. This thing alarms me because such vice ruins his life (and entertaining as well, I'm just like listening to a telenovela every time they're having a quarrel 
). Kidding aside, this cases definitely need strong medical attention, if a rehabilitation program is necessary then he must do it.
Frankly, it is unfair when several scholars or doctors say gambling is the factor that destroys some people.
But i disagree, there is nothing wrong with gambling.
Gambling only destroys when we get self centered, greedy and anxious for quick money and that's what leads to borrowing to gamble, gambling with all available funds with you.
Just like we invest with our spare and best, lets attach that to gambling, take greedines and get rich thoughts and we will be fine

I don't think this is enough. A gambling addict cannot heal his/her addiction all by himself/herself. We are talking here of an addicted gambler. We are not talking here of a gambler who still has the control over things. I don't think by merely thinking of these points a gambling addict can leave his/her vice. For someone who gambles not because of anything else but mainly because he/she has already entered the addiction stage, he/she cannot just say no to it. He/she cannot just say, "I won't gamble starting today. I'm done." No, addiction is on a different level which needs professional intervention. An addict is actually helpless in the face of his/her urges. Medical experts are considering addiction as a disease. In which case, it needs professional treatment.
If you are not financially capable never enter gambling, if you plan to borrow money just for gambling stuff, that is the biggest mistake of your life unless you are super lucky and hit a jackpot that happens once in a blue moon. Do gambling if you have extra money apart from your savings, of course, don't bet your life savings or it is the end. 
That is why there are broken families, the head of the family is a failure not able to get away from gambling addiction.
That is why there are broken families, the head of the family is a failure not able to get away from gambling addiction.People can gamble if they want to just have fun or want to entertain and pass some time in leisure. If people want to make money from it or just depended on it is the wrong thing because it would be very much possible that out of 10 only 1 could be successful in doing so. Also, it can lead to many health hazard and lose out lot of money as addiction rate increases.
There are many ways to have a good gambling life. People often intend to gamble due to its satisfaction and an endless eagerness to win bigger. I mean, who doesn't want to have huge amount of money made from fun and satisfying activities? But in the end, it just gambles your life and your time.
For me a good mindset is to stop whenever you either lose or win. Stop when you took one bet and win/lose. It will just drive your ego more if you continue doing so.
sometimes it wasn't just on the head of the family, but also how the family or the relationship was handled at first. If the heads are disciplined or took every instance of disciplinary action before it gets worse, nothing bad would happen. Hence, even addicts cou change, but it would depend on who and how he will be changed.

The problem is that not all gamblers can stop gambling if they use gambling for fun to turn into an addiction. Many gamblers will still play gambling, although they know they slowly become addicted to gambling. That will grow bigger if they win for many rounds, and that can make their greed bigger too.
And if they chase the jackpot, that will waste their time and money because to win the jackpot will not be easy, and they need to have big luck to get the jackpot.
I agree with you on the fact that not all gamblers can quit gambling once it becomes addiction, I knew of someone that was broke as a result of gambling, despite being broke he still went to borrow money to bet, the addiction is too strong for him And if they chase the jackpot, that will waste their time and money because to win the jackpot will not be easy, and they need to have big luck to get the jackpot.
Yes, it is too risky if you become addicted to gambling. No matter how much money you have, you will only spend your money until you lose all of your money. Before gambling destroys your life, it is better you stop playing gambling so you can anticipate the loss of the money.
If someone addicted to gambling, and he borrows money from other people, that will only give him another problem, and if that is happening for a long time, then it's only a matter of time to see the ruin of his life.
But hard work is not a hobby, is it? And since it's definitely not, we have a problem here.
You are wrong, in warding off the bug...I mean "HOBBY" and "HARD WORK".
Not the opposite of hobbies / hard work, hard work / hobbies, that's not it...
The real meaning, if you used to be a hobby ball, boxer, horse racing, and so on, if you stop playing gambling, it's good you are not too active in your past hobby, where there is a match you must be present, it all can attract you again in gambling because in your past hobby there is an element of gambling.
So, you turn to choose a simple life as it is "without gambling" with your family, of course if you stop gambling, the demand is "hard work" to meet the needs of your family.
That's the true meaning and understanding.
if you don't "work hard" your body will die because without the food you produce...
I still think I understood you right the first time. You mean we should switch to hobbies that don't have an element of gambling in them, right? And I mean, if gambling is the only way to relax from hard work, for some people, they simply can't get rid of all hobbies they really like, because all of us need some sort of relaxation. You can't tell someone who enjoys mountaineering: "Relax with scuba diving instead". It simply won't work.
Gambling can satisfy our need to have fun because some of us play gambling because we are looking for excitement but most of the time we want to play gambling because of the money. As a gambler, we want to seek for money and excitement but still before we go for a gambling game always seek for the information to avoid losing your money in just a single game as a gambler choose your favorite game that is suitable for your needs and wants because sometimes this is the key to success being dominant into a game makes more advantage. Still, we need to look forward to things that may happen because we all know that it is very risky and can cause losing our money it is better to control our selves in gambling too much addiction can cause severe damage to your self.

that is why there is a need to LEave Gambling when you can treat this in right ways ?just like what you said Sports bettor mostly do this for Fun as my Uncle is inlove with this,like when after work he usually bet for at least 1 or 2 games before going to sleep and this is His routine and not affecting Bad in His family.Approaching it as an investment in which you can win or lose and also analysing the risk and reward factor would allow you make better decisions in regards to your gambling lifestyle.
the only problem if we Live into this,if we treat this as money making(in which rare to happen to succeed)and become addict is the hardest thing we will get in this if not making the right move.

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. The best thing to do when one knows that they don't have any self-control is to not start gambling at all. This way, worse things would be prevented and no such problems would arise regarding addiction to gambling.
If we already know that we are affected already by our addiction in gambling, we need to seek help from our families or find other things to focus on. There are many reasons to stay away from it. We just need to acknowledge in ourselves that we are already addicted so we can recover. Jump to:
