Topic: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. - page 6. (Read 1945 times)

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.

If we're concern about our future situation then we should know our limits. We all know the risks of gambling addiction so we must not have it as a regular source of income because there's no guarantee of winning in gambling.
The result of our gambling mostly base only in our luck and it will be a big risk if we'll only rely things in our luck without even having a small assurance of gaining something.
We should know when to stop and when to continue so we will be able to handle our funds wisely.

They chase their losses because they can’t afford to lose money or they need it badly and rely on gambling too much. It is hard to quit, and if you really want to quit then give it a try and seek some good advices. Don’t just wait for gambling to destroy you, be a responsible one and make no regrets in your gambling journey.

I'm a gambler but not addicted,
About 1 million people in the United States is living with gambling addiction problems. When a person becomes addicted, he continues to gamble on a regular basis, even though it threatens his personal life and family life. So, if you can't control yourself, you shouldn't gamble anymore.

Most gamblers take it as fun at the beginning but day by day it turns into addiction for them. Actual problem arise at that moment when they wanna choose it as an option of earning. Its quite tough for them to get out from this habit and its common with most of the gambler.

Leave gambling if you cannot handle it. Simple. If you cannot handle drinking, leave it. Relationships,,, leave them. It is not gambling that is bad, it is the person who cannot control it.

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.

Really hard to understand what you have written over here. Some of your words contradicts with each other. Did you use some sort of translator to make this post, because if you did, then yeah, it messed it all up. Or is it just language barrier?
Anyway, I got what you are trying to say over here. But, trust me, it is more hard to execute what you have written over here. You can easily make a list and tell people what to do in order to quit gambling, but its not easy for the gambler.
One should not hesitate to take help from professionals if gambling is causing serious problem in their life.

The problem with the gambling addicts is that another option has almost no impact on them.  All in their mind is to be able to gamble and feed their addiction with it.  Stopping in gambling is very easy to those who are in control but very difficult to those who are already trapped and addicted.  Getting away from gambling activity need more effort if a person has already a gambling problem.  So finding other things that will cover their time or divert them from gambling needs other people that will encourage and at least guide them out of their gambling addiction

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.

So what's the bottom line? Right, we should be looking for jobs and occupations that offer us true satisfaction, fun and pleasure. And then we will feel no need to gamble

You're right. A person should receive money for the occupation that you like to do and bring pleasure.
In this case, he receives both pleasure from the process and a reward in the form of cash and universal recognition

However, not every person has this kind of work, we can say that such people are a minority.
Therefore, many people go to gambling to have fun there, and as a result, they get addicted to this pleasure to spend heavily earned money on the emotions that gambling gives

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.

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.

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.

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.
