gambling addiction is bad enough if it costs a lot of money and even some people who do it dare to sell their homes or personal motorbikes. I consider gambling to be a game, it cannot really be a benchmark for earning or even wanting to get rich quick here. no one always wins here, try to think when playing gambling if it's free money, I think everyone wants to try it, but losing real assets is really not good.
Addiction is the most severe negative attributes of a gambler, more like entering the key stages and witnessing hugh losses, which can not be recoverable. Gambling is never a stream for generating income, we should probably look for way out in any mess we have found ourselves. We know exactly where our problems originates from, we also know the possible solutions to stop gambling but most of the gamblers are not ready to go down that road. They keep making excuses and their incompetent measures to quit online gambling, I've been in that shoes once, and trust me when I say, I know that feelings.

Yes, blocking adds and gambling sites can help, but I think it's too easy to open it again if you want to play again, right? Yes, it can help, but it's still not that strong, especially if you can't control yourself.
I know that it is not that easy to stop or quit gambling, especially if you have been playing it for several years.
But if you think your gambling is having a bad effect on you or your family, I think you need to find a new hobby. You can do that as long as you have a strong desire to stop it and you can control yourself. Besides, you are not alone, your family and friends are there to help and guide you. just believe in yourself that you can do it.

If someone wants to quit gambling, it has to be their own choice. If they don't possess the will to stop, others can't do it for them. There are rehabilitation centers that help people to quite addictions. But in order to show up there, it has to be their own choice. I have seen many people put into rehabilitation centers against their will. They were able to quit their addiction, but after some times, they were back to the same thing again. But those who have gone there on their personal choice, they were the ones who were successful in doing so.
I couldn't agree more. We can easily say that in order to quit gambling addiction we can find distractions like finding new hobbies, or seeking for professional help and such. But if we don't have the willingness to do so, then these things won't matter at all. At the end of the day, if you don't have the drive to do it then you will be having a hard time to stop gambling addiction, because no one will do it for you but yourself. It is only yourself that you can rely on because we are the one who are responsible for making decisions for ourselves. So, bringing that drive in yourself to just accept the fact that it is a bad thing and you need to stay away from it is a big challenge. Some people manage to do it and they get out of the addiction eventually, but a lot of people fail in that stage and they never get out of it.

So it can be concluded that someone who is already addicted to gambling in my opinion is very difficult to stop if the person really wants to stop or before he gambled he had such a big problem that he could no longer gamble.I agree that it is possible to stop or get out of gambling addiction if there is a strong desire to do so. If you still can't, the risk is that you have to accept the fate that keeps getting worse. Automatically this type of gambler is ready as he started when he first played.
By cutting off the internet network for online gambling, in my opinion, this is also a good step, but if it is not balanced with our own wishes, then we will not be able to do this, because basically playing online gambling is because we are curious. to see friends around us. We. who is playing on his cell phone. maybe with that habit that makes someone curious and want to try it. Or by moving cell phones that don't have an internet network, for example, but return according to each other's wishes to make sure we stop playing online gambling and think that this will prevent us from difficulties or risks in the future.
This is a big challenge that is not easy for anyone who has ever felt how bitter it is to lose and how happy it is to win in a gambling game. Disconnecting the internet network will also not be optimal as a solution for a possibility to stop gambling while still interacting with the surrounding environment because everyone has a smartphone.Deciding the internet network for the player's personal will likely work if he isolates himself in a remote area without internet access for some time, when thoughts of gambling are completely lost.

Of the many people who are still able to commit to the initial goal of gambling to have fun so they don't get addicted, only a few are able to always put forward the commitments that have been made, like you gamble only with small bets when in fact you use weekly payments to bet larger amounts large and don't last long the whole balance will just disappear and in the end you will feel like getting the money back.
If you can be responsible and committed in gambling, then you only use part of it and then leave, let the rest be stored in the bankroll to be used another day if you want to gamble again.

The moment you think about making money out of gambling, no matter what, one day it will turn into an addiction. You may say that professional gamblers are doing it too. They are making money too. They are not addicted. Are you sure? They are addicted to it too, but they do it in a way that minimizes their losses and increases their chances of winning. That's why we call them professionals. Take that out and put losses in that scenario. They will be looking for ways to generate money to gamble again. If that's not addiction then what is? They are making good money from gambling and managing it in a way that they won't run out of money to gamble. But they can't quite it.
As for new comers and nonprofessionals, take it as an entertainment purpose. Never bring money-making concepts into gambling. Otherwise, it will become an addiction. It's just a matter of time.
Professional gamblers are those who gamble responsibly. Losing and winning is common, but they are able to control their addiction so that the impact is reduced. After all they have a limited budget for gambling, so not all of their money is going to be spent on gambling for whatever reason.
It very difficult to most people because gambling for them becomes their medicine. You see, gambling isn't bad at all. In fact, it could make you a lot of money if done correctly. It is the addiction of it that make the lives of many people worse. They become addicts or chasing excitement because it helped them cope and forget real-life problems.
It's their choice to be there playing. It's also their choice to be there still playing. What they need is not to stop but to create a new mindset for them that gambling won't save them from their misery.

Absolutely agree with you. Many gamblers are so used to the dopamine reward system that they have a hard time giving up gambling. It is up to each person to choose how to live their life, and those around them can only show the gambling addict the path that can lead them to a normal life. Whether he will pass this way or turn to another road depends only on him.
Well, this is because they have exceeded their limitation in gambling to the point that they have become dependent on it. The moment players get used to the cheap dopamine that gambling brings, it will be hard to quit. Setting gambling aside when it's what their world is revolving around will be a difficult task since they will eventually try to keep looking around to satisfy it. And to stop this, they have to look for proper medical intervention. It's no longer an option to be carefree and complacent when you are addicted to your vices since it could consume you.
If someone wants to quit gambling, it has to be their own choice. If they don't possess the will to stop, others can't do it for them. There are rehabilitation centers that help people to quite addictions. But in order to show up there, it has to be their own choice. I have seen many people put into rehabilitation centers against their will. They were able to quit their addiction, but after some times, they were back to the same thing again. But those who have gone there on their personal choice, they were the ones who were successful in doing so.
Online gambling is very hard to avoid if you are addicted. All you need is a smart device and internet connection. If you don't choose to quit gambling, doing this won't help. You can change your settings at any time. You can use other devices or internet. Not only the ads, but your mind could do the same. If it's a habit, you can't change it like this. If you have a strong will to quit gambling, only then this will help. And if you are a starter and not addicted yet, then this will help a lot not to get addicted.

You got it wrong mate, you see, gambling is supposed to be an entertainment where money are just mere tool used to get that entertainment you wanted but if you go there in the casino and chase towards the money then that's already a wrong start. A gambler doesn't mean that they are only in for the money, it's a term created to call the people who are playing inside the casino regardless of their motives.

And this line right here, it's a bit of an overstatement because you're already factoring out the losses you could have once you gamble because that is inevitable.
