Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop
Yes, gambling is difficult to stop and that is why we have those who become so addicted.


So many people actually tell themselves lies and intend to keep going on with those lies and continue saying this popular quote "this time no more I have quit"
That's one sign, when people doesn't want to admit that they have been hook already but lies.

Because you will see after what they said, they will continue to gamble, but this time, they will going to hide it from people. And then after a a gambling session, you will hear from them that they quit, then after sometime going back to the old habit again.

Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop

Anything that you're hooked up too or worst getting addicted to is really hard to get rid of. A lot of people are actually planning to quit gambling but will only end up lying to themselves, because the urge is still there. Quitting on to something doesn't happen in a blink of an eye, there is a thorough process for it to successfully overcome any temptations while you're in the process. An indefinite break must be the first step. You might be doing it again on the latter, but make sure to minimize the usual expenses and time spent than before, and do it gradually until you only gamble casually.

Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop

Through out my days as a  GAMBLER  I have seen and had  so many people who for some reason have decided in their mind that they want to stop Gambling but in the latter of things said I eventually  see them again  involving themselves in gambling acts.

So many people actually tell themselves lies and intend to keep going on with those lies and continue saying this popular quote "this time no more I have quit"

Except for  people that take the act of gambling for fun who are really not affected by gambling so many people have uttered these particular quote noted above 

It has come to my notice that these people don't actually know what to do. instead of saying that they have quit they should know that they are actually  going on a gambling break..
This also has an important side effect, the more they say they are going to quit gambling and the more they keep failing this creates in them the impression they cannot control themselves at all, and in the case they become addicted to gambling it will be way harder for them to beat their addiction as they have already created a pattern for themselves in which they cannot quit gambling at all, so if someone is really determined to quit gambling for good they need to make a legitimate effort so this does not happen to them.

It depends on how deep the addiction to gambling is. If a person is addicted to gambling already, he will have a hard time quitting on his own. There should be an outside factor that will force him to stop gambling for a long time and develop another habit that will replace gambling. Friends, relatives, and loved ones are a great help to keep addicted gamblers from coming back to gamble.

While moderate gamblers will find it easy to give up gambling because they have not developed the habit yet and they are not addicted yet. These people can quit on their own.

I think I can quit on my own whenever I wanted to quit gambling. I am not that addicted to gambling.

Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop
But not impossible. If you do some search I am of the opinion that you will still find people that have stopped the so difficult habit with help and discipline. Stopping has to be a strong resolution, something that you are determined to do. If you know stopping gambling will be difficult to achieve, you can reduce the number of times you gamble, till when you can go some days without considering it, and then you make the final decision to stop since it has become possible to go days without it. Quitting is a gradual process.

You are right. It may take time and a lot of effort, but it is not impossible. It is always doable as long as you have the will to do it and a supportive community that will help you gradually get away from gambling.

Most times, people you see coming back to gambling even after declaring not to gamble again, actually wanted a real quiet not a break but then you'll notice it's addiction in action this time and not just the pleasures of gambling.
In cases like this, these set of persons actually need a counselor to help talk them out of this and to help them rebuild their minds because it takes a lot to fight and win the war against addictions.

I have also seen cases of people who after a very huge win that evidently changed their lives, still fall back to gambling and most times might end up frustrated if not checked or controlled because they might in some cases believe they know all it take to be successful in gambling and indulge more in reverse gambling which is financially and mentally not right for an individual.
The moment you find someone gambling so hard,please at every opportunity you have, try talking to them.

It's really difficult for addicted gamblers to stop gambling, I know some people that are addicted to gambling, after losing money, they will complain why they even used the money to gamble, they will always say they will stop gambling, any money they are having again, they will definitely use it for another thing more important, but don't be suprise whenever they are having money again, you see them gambling again, if you want to stop gambling as a addicted gambler, you will need God intervention and you have to be dedicated that you want to stop gambling and not just saying it alone. That's why I just think right from when you start gambling, you should just gamble for fun and not to have intention to make money from gambling.

I've been a gambling addict before and I've tried various ways stop myself from not doing gambling and to be honest it's a very hard thing to do. Quitting suddenly is a very hard thing to do and I know that most who are addicted into gambling will just comeback and still gamble again, It's just full of lies. The method which works for me and I hope that someone too is by taking a break. I've started scheduling my gambling session and trying to resist playing until the day on my schedule and weeks by weeks, I've noticed that the urge of me not playing is lowering down until I've realized that I can gamble within my schedule without the urge of playing on my breaks. I did see that my control on things has been improved since then and I've recover from the addiction I have.

Telling yourself to stop instantly wouldn't be effective because of the urge around you and in the near future, I'm pretty sure that you will play again and do the same thing as If you didn't make a change at all. It is highly recommendable to do little breaks from time to time, It works for me and there is a high chance that it will work on you. It will take time but it will be worth it if you are willing to change.

Like any other habits, they are definitely difficult to stop especially if you are somehow deep behind it. One of the ways in order to at least control your gambling addiction is by taking steps proactively (e.g. bring only a handful amount of cash when you visit a casino, explore different options and methods of entertainment, etc.).

Though there may be people who do gambling for fun, they actually are addicted also but not to a certain extent that they rely their livelihood for it. If you have problems in overcoming your addiction, seek help not only from your family but also from your peers who can refer to you some support.

I think that is the normal response that you will hear on gambling addicts, specially if they have big losses and they can't take it any more. But once they got the money in hand, they will simply go back and play again.

so it might be a gambling break is not equal to quitting. But again, that's what they head is telling their heart to say. And then flip the switch right away if they have that opportunity to gamble again.
Gambling addicts will definitely find it hard to quit gambling for good, they might say they’re ready to quit but IRL, they only need to take a break and then come back in gambling again if they become emotionally ready. However, if you keep your determination and have strong urge to really quit gambling, I believe it’s very possible. But it takes a lot of time processing before you can finally say you’re quitting for good.
Unfortunately, being emotionally ready to be able to quit gambling is quite hard to achieve for gambling addicts. They'll need to get over first their gambling addiction before they can even make permanent decision such as quitting gambling. How can they quit if they can't even control themselves at the first place? It is much better for these types of gamblers to focus on fixing their addiction before they can build up their determination and conviction to quitting gambling.

That's why before we gamble, we must have good self-control to stop on time and not lose a lot of money. But unfortunately, many people do not have good self-control so they continue to be tempted by the desire to win some money even though they have won. And if they really can stop at the right time, it means they have good self-control and even if they return to gambling another day, it doesn't matter to them because they can still stop whenever they want. And if they really want to stop gambling, they must have a strong will to stop gambling and not gamble again another day.

There is an addiction in gambling that gamblers can not just quit like that. To quit gambling is a thug of war that people can't just give up because their aim is always winning, even in the massive loss in the gambling process they still hope that, they will win big to recover all the lost so they are always continuously playing and hopping to win big. Most of them are addicted to gambling so it is part parcel in their system.
I only pray that God should intervene. And one funny thing is that, some of them that are deeply involved in gambling are also denying to be a gambler.

It is difficult for a compulsive gambler to quit smoking, but a break is important for gambling addicts that may help them maintain balance and financial stability in their lives. I've been in gambling for a long time but when I want to quit I can do so without asking for help. It's better when you want to quit, don't tell anyone!! but try to discuss your feelings.

When I actively and continue to gambling every day, I often say that. The cause was too big of a loss at gambling, so I aware had to quit but it couldn't be and it was difficult, I'm back to gambling but after that I've been able to manage my money to use in gambling. Use money can afford to lose.
Greed in gambling that makes us not quickly aware, curious and lose that made all of happen, It's difficult when you're addicted.

I suggest people to admit when they have gambling addiction as first thing to do. After that you should know addictions cannot be easily gone. You should start with little pauses instead to find amusement in different things. Like sports, music, art. These are also joy in life. When you start to feel 'cleaner' you may use longer breaks like one hour a week or month or something with gambling. Eventually you will find yourself in a totally good mind to completely leave gambling.

Acceptance will be the right step to conquering gambling addiction. It will be better to accept and admit that we have fallen for it so we'll know the best steps that we have to treat it. Some gamblers' urge to gamble is still curable and bearable while in some cases, gamblers need to seek professional help already.
We can't deny the fact that quitting gambling couldn't be done in a single night. It needs lots of courage and determination to quit. It's better to take one step at a time than lie to ourselves by saying we're going to quit and stop. We can do it little by little by focusing on other things that we'll help us grow and change our habits into something that will benefit us in the long run.

They don't care about it is quitting or a gambling break they will eventually go back to play, these words are not existing to people with a gambling problem, if they are going to use these are empty words, so don't believe they are taking it seriously, a compulsive gambler can't stop on their own they are deceitful and so if you have a friend that says he quit, take it as a joke.

most of the time when certain people lose money they tell themselves that they are going to stop playing to avoid more losses or even to rest but when they realize that without playing there is not much to do they go back to playing and that can even mean that the person is addicted or that the person is dependent on gambling, but there are cases where it is okay for the person to stop for a while and then go back to playing. in my case I always tell myself I'm going to take a break for a few days and stop playing for a few days. and sometimes I even go a lot more days without playing than expected. self-control is something very important

Any habit that is done excessively, will be very difficult to break.

this happens even with people who work a lot, it's hard to change when the person always does the same thing and doesn't change their routine, that's why I always make a point of taking a break in games so I don't have the same

Probably the reason as to why these gamblers can't stop gambling even if they repetitively say that they're quitting is because they are still addicted with it. I, myself, had told myself the same thing however since I was addicted to gambling, I was not able to stop until I've reached my biggest lose which changed me.

Right now, I don't focus much on gambling and stick with my hobbies and work. Yes, I am still gambling but right now I know that I can stop anytime I want since I already did before .

The most important rule in gambling; not to have ambition.
It doesn't affect you badly to be addicted after not having ambition. If you gamble for fun, if you don't feel obligated to gamble, it's called habit. If you are gambling this way, you may not need to stop. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to completely stop gambling anyway.
