Topic: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. - page 17. (Read 1946 times)

It is true, not only in gambling addiction, but also in other things. Addiction that destroys not only yourself but also the people around you. Bad habits that have been rooted and done always is not easy to remove, but is possible.The main point here to stop addiction is to find the important reasons for you to avoid bad habits like gambling. For me, your family and love ones are the important part of your life that you must hold dearly and be responsible to. Never sacrifice important and eternal things for temporary satisfaction.

Every gambler are born every minute and probably in the next coming years are going to be addicted as well. This is a sad fact and most of the time, those who have recovered from their gambling addiction has really learned from this past mistakes.

However, those who are still addicted have lives destroyed, we have heard so many cases going to extremes like taking their life or someone. For addicts to stop, they should be support models like families and friends that are willing to extend their hands to help and pull that someone out of his gambling ways. It might be very difficult, but if we love that someone, we should do our part and save the person. And for gamblers, just think of your love one, and all the money that you are going to waste. As the OP says, just enjoy the game and don't ever let yourself be carried away.

Most are addicted to gambling mainly because of the desire to win, or to win back their losses. The main thing to remove is these kind of perception in gambling. Because of this greed, it blurs the critical thinking of the gambler of the real odds especially in casinos. Greed for money is mainly the only reason of addiction to gambling.

actually mate you are the one who did not get my point here,i am not referring on this Topic of yours what i am pointing those topics that has been created about how to stop gambling,things that making me felt irritating,i might be off topic but i support your  Advises.

and actually this is what i really support among all(though they are all functional and relevant) but this is what saved me in past My Family always keeps my Heads Up and gives me every support i need to change my ways again into reality of life.

I hope we would not wait the time that gambling has already destroyed us before we live.

As a person who have responsibility, we know if gambling has affected us already in a negative way and it will make us less productive in our job or us not being able to give time to our family.. if we have that sign, we should try to reflect and evaluate ourselves and accept if we have done wrong as that's the only way that we can think of a change.

To be honest, I said many times to stop gambling but I am still here.
that was back when I was still a newbie and sometimes I lose control in gambling and when I spend all my money, I use to regret saying I'll stop as it will only do harm in my life and to my family, but the moment I got the money, I am gambling again, enjoy when I win and regret when I lose.

Eventually I learn to control and that's the reason why I am still here.

Gambling is fun "if you are in control" so let's always be in control.

The first thing gambling addicts must do is admit that they have a problem. If they can’t do that then they’re never going to be able to overcome their addiction.

Secondly it’s not that simple to just give up an addiction. Very often an addict must seek professional help to be able to stop doing whatever their addiction is.

In this case gambling there are many professional services out there that can help -

Obviously there are similar organisations in every major country.

If you have a problem SEEK HELP.

Exactly, actions really speak louder than words rather than the mindset that by next day you are going to stop but still in doubt.

I guess most people who been addicted to gambling are more prone not to stop it immediately, even you lie low for quite a while because having no money to gamble hits you there is still a possibility that you need to. There is no immediate solution for stopping gambling addiction but moderating how you gamble, focusing on other things and waking up not wanting it is the best solution I guess to take. As serjent05 just said it's really on one's self-discipline and the mindset not to be addicted to it.

People who want to stop gambling just stop. They don't find reasons why not to and excuses why they can't. It's like smoking. You either stop over night or you never stop. All those limitations like I will only smoke 5 a day don't really work. I don't know anyone who has stopped smoking that way.

I am going on holiday in a few days with a couple of friends. All of them are poker and slot machine fans. I am not. We do have sports betting in common though. I already know how much I will spend gambling on sports. We are going to try and win some money to have a better time elsewhere. If it doesn't work it doesn't work.

My point it, It's OK to gamble a little bit but if you get hooked to it, you don't have anyone else to blame but yourself. People recover from cancer, loosing arms and legs in accidents. Those are real problems. Understand what is important in your life. Your health and your family or that feeling you get when you gamble. If you can't differentiate between those two you are lost.

You really don't understand the contents of the topic, you read carefully and then you comment, silly.

The topic of content is not for me to stop gambling, I am fed up with many beginner topics about "stopping gambling when losing.
Why not just do it to stop gambling, why do you play gambling, if you know you los.

So, I think why people complain about gambling, when he loses he has to stop, but it's not right to do it and ask the same thing here, I give the determination that really addicts want to quit gambling.

So you read the contents of the topic, don't just blabber.

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.

i still don't get it that why are those thread created and asking "how to Stop Gambling?"sorry but i felt that being stupid because there are many ways to gamble and not just to become addicted.

why instead of Stopping Gambling why not lets talk abouthow to prevent becoming addict?

i myself once a gambling addict but i manage to change and now?i only play when i felt like boring but limited time and money to risk.

Gambling is created for people to Have fun,but it is our action that will bring us to whatever we wanted to be.

I agree and I think that determination is key in anything you want to achieve.Even in such a difficult case when someone addicted to gambling want to quit the main factor for me is determination.The problem though is very few people have it and many lack it.If you want something really bad you will get it eventually while doing all the required work for it.

Over and over again, there were lots of reasons for you to stop but the main thing i would say which really be needed for us to stop completely is just really a matter of self control and discipling.
Actions awareness is also a thing where you do realize first on what things would happen if you do intend to engage with gambling without control.IF you do have this kind of mindset it wont really be
easy for you to get addicted on the first place.Breaking away is just the hardest part when you already get hooked into it and quitting wont really be that easy where distracting yourself into other things
so that you wont able to gamble again.Dont wait for unfortunate things to happen before you do quit it would be better if you do able to stop it midway.

I think the most important thing that gamblers will stop is when he has an individual mindset to stop gambling and his family. If he has a strong mindset to stop gambling because he thinks that playing gambling is only spends his money without a chance to make money, he will try anything to stop gambling because he realizes that it will waste money on him. His family will be the next reason for him to stop gambling because, for him, the family is number one in his life. So he will try hard to stop gambling forever, and if he feels it is difficult, he will ask for help from his family to help him so he can get more power to stop gambling.

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.
