Yes, you are right. I agree that we must use gambling as fun and entertainment, and don't rely on gambling to make money.
I agree that we don't rely on gambling to earn money but I disagree if it is a must to gamble in order to have fun and entertainment. Everyone has their own purposes to play gambling. If someone plays gambling to earn money, we cannot blame him. It is normal that people are interested in the big amount of prizes on gambling.

But many people are playing gambling for fun, but after they enjoy the games, they forget about controlling themselves.
One sign that a gambler is addicted is that they cant control their desire to continue gambling and they may not realize that they have spent a lot of money to bet there. Gambling addiction I think is very difficult to control and many people will admit it. Some of them might call it fun without being addicted, but when we cant stop ourselves from betting every day its called addiction.I also think if gamblers who are already heavily addicted will not need advice from others to stop because they think it's not important what they think is gambling every time and want to, even though it's hard to find luck.
I do not want to be addicted to gambling because it is very dangerous for me and my family because it can be a conflict with my family because of gambling.
Still we must be able to control with ourselves.
A person always finds ways of his own internal control when it comes to his core values, such as family, health, helping other people, and the like.
Just like a woman who smokes during pregnancy for the sake of her baby, many gamblers, and those who are addicted to gambling, stop playing when their reputation or relationships with close people are at stake. Everything depends on the level of awareness.
But many people are playing gambling for fun, but after they enjoy the games, they forget about controlling themselves. They can spend more money because they want to win in gambling. That will be a sign for them to get the effect and addicted.
Meaning they aren't gambling for fun. Having fun isn't their main priority but to get profit. Yes they are enjoying but if you are a disciplined person, you must know your limits. If you gamble for fun then just gamble for fun and if you lose then stop and if you win then you must learn when to stop too.These gamblers who forget to control themselves when they are gambling have a high chance that they will get addicted into it especially if they are winning always. Their main purpose which is to have fun has been changed to win money
.Sometimes, a disciplined person can forget about that because of the temptations of gambling games and winning money. In the beginning, they remember about the limits, but after a few rounds, they don't know that because they become greedy, chasing more winning. It is hard always to control and disciplined in something that we like because that will always attract us to do more and more.
They can get addicted in a short time if they don't realize that winning in gambling doesn't mean that we can get more winning. Perhaps, if they can recognize if they win, that will be the time for them to stop gambling.

A very good post about the healing from addiction.
Over a year ago I stopped gambling, it even destroyed my investments in different cryptocurrencies.

i agree with this post,
i just to add and i think this one really helps a lot in anything that come's to a persons life
Support: i have seen a lot on how people got hook so bad i gambling
the support of the family play a vital role for a person to change his ways,
if the family never supports the person and help them overcome addiction
no matter what it will never change, and will come back to his old ways, because
there is something that is lacking and that is support and guidance from the family
family should give 100% support and for sure he will be committed, to change

I am someone who engages in gambling occasionally and when I first gambled online I was just 18 years old. During the past one and half decades, gambling was more of an entertainment for me, as I lost more than what I won. But I never gambled more than what I could afford to lose. And as a result, my financial and mental health is perfectly fine now. 
I think you had a good managing of your financial and mental health, you just need to keep it at that. In my case, I am addicted in the past and keep in getting better now. Its been years but I can't still distance myself from gambling but it is great since I can control myself now when I am gambling, though as I said, I still have that problem when I still need to distance myself from it.
I personally will never leave gambling. I know the risk of gambling is huge, can be addicted to destruction. But I am not a gambler with a large capital, I only play with a small amount. Although sometimes in gambling, I experience defeat more often. but it makes me happy to be able to play gambling.
Gambling with big and small capital I think it's the same thing, because every gambler has at least a different financial factor and they will gamble according to their respective abilities. So, even if you gamble only with low capital but when you get losing streak and or repeated failures, then the incident will at least make you frustrated too, right. Well, stopping gambling or not is a different desire for every gambler, even though gambling has ruined your life but on the other hand there is something that can make you happy, I guess it doesn't matter as long as you can handle it well.

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.
Indeed, Do not let gambling destroy our life, gambling is not a good thing at all, do not hope betting to make you a rich person, it is impossible, because the chances of winning the gambling site are meagre. Especially those gambling sites that only do not require you to show up your skills and strategies, those websites that luck only matters. If you have a feeling that you are being addicted to gambling, prevent it as quick as you I often see topics related to stop gambling.

can, do not let it controls everything on you. So it is better that you will do an action rapidly before its too late.
There are so many ways for you to prevent being addicted, and those are already posted above, which are all true, make yourself busy on other things and not on gambling.
But many people are playing gambling for fun, but after they enjoy the games, they forget about controlling themselves. They can spend more money because they want to win in gambling. That will be a sign for them to get the effect and addicted.

Some of them might call it fun without being addicted, but when we cant stop ourselves from betting every day its called addiction.That is why needs responsible for ourselves from playing gambling. Perhaps, we cannot know how to responsibly in playing gambling, but if we can control ourselves in limiting the money, we can see that we will not spend a lot of money on gambling. Gambling addiction is something that we need to prevent by having discipline, limiting the money and time, always control our mind that gambling is only an activity to enjoy life.
You can check yourself when you gamble. If you see that the situations become worse, you must leave gambling, no matter if you already win some money or lose some money because that will not be useful for you to continue playing gambling.

If you able to take gambling as fun and entertainment then everything is okay but if you don't able to take it as fun or If you only gamble for leading lives/income then you will must be affected. So, preventing gambling isn't the proper solution, the actual solution is to change yourself.
Yes, you are right. I agree that we must use gambling as fun and entertainment, and don't rely on gambling to make money. Preventing gambling by having control for ourselves will be necessary, so we can know that gambling is one of the ways to enjoy life. We are responsible for what we do, including in gambling games, so we know how to prevent gambling.
But many people are playing gambling for fun, but after they enjoy the games, they forget about controlling themselves. They can spend more money because they want to win in gambling. That will be a sign for them to get the effect and addicted.
Its difficult to know when to stop and no one can stop at a perfect time.
1-If you are winning in gambling, you keep on playing because you think that you can win or earn more from gambling.
2-If you are losing, you keep on playing because you think you can play more and recover your previous loses.
The only way to play safe is to set your targets prior to playing like you will stop playing if you win certain amount of money and you will also stop if you lose certain amount of money.

This is a reasonable approach and it reminds me of trading. Professional traders clearly know the loss cut-off point and the point at which profits should be taken. The problem is that people suffering from gaming addiction are irrational and at the beginning of the game they don’t even think about how to properly end it.
I'm all good. Yeah, i've lost a lot compared to what I won but it doesn't destroy me. Things will be complicated only if you are choosing gambling first before your priorities like family, expenses, etc. Greediness will lead you to nothing. In my case, I'm playing for how many years already but I can say I'm good because when it comes to real life priorities, I always chose it first. Eventhough I can't stop myself from playing atleast I set aside my gambling habit when it comes to priorities.
LOL It's very easy to say that but in reality what other opportunities you have to win a big amount of money? If you want to make money without gambling you need to have... money! So only gambling can offer you the opportunity to become rich when you have nothing.
This is the fastest and easiest way on making money thats why most or majority of people do end up to have this option due to this possibility thats why It's very easy to say that but in reality what other opportunities you have to win a big amount of money? If you want to make money without gambling you need to have... money! So only gambling can offer you the opportunity to become rich when you have nothing.gambling industry becomes so big and profitable because people do always come back and try their luck on changing up their lives.The only issue here
is that addiction what messes out peoples lives where they do commit or experience consequences due to severe addiction.It is indeed hard on making yourself
finding an entertainment or wont stress yourself out when you do know that you do have real money on stake.
And also you are correct about the Culture because in some places gambling is part of their daily lives and i have witnessed that already,in some "slum" places here in my country there are many people that starts gambling the moment they wake up in the morning.
Opposite to other places which do have strict rules or laws on prohibiting it.It will really just depend on the government who do handle it out.
Gambling effects can really destroy someones life if you dont know on how to handle yourself towards addiction.Leave while still early if you do
see yourself on being impulsive.

A compulsive gambler will just ignore all these points, even if he is aware of these, the addiction is just to hard to ignore, it will just fall into deaf earns or close mind, the only way is for a close family to tell these things to him and urge him to ask for professional help, this is the only way to do that.
If he realizes about his addiction, then yes, asking for professional help will be the solution. But sometimes, he cannot see that he is in the addiction position because he feels that what he did before is just to playing gambling without feels addicting. But other people who look at him will say that he gets addicted to gambling and he really needs help. Before we can feel that something wrong happens to us, we must leave gambling for a while, and don't come to the gambling place.
You don't need to tell other people about your winning if you think that will make you get in trouble. You need to leave the gambling as soon as possible if you win so not many gamblers will know about your winning. That can also prevent you from the worst situations that might make you in a trap in the gambling. We always need to remember that we don't need to stay in gambling if we feel it is very difficult to win because saving our money will be important to us.
