I think it is impossible to cure from gambling addiction on your own. There always needs to be someone who will monitor gamblers activity. As no matter how strong will one person might have, how fully he realizes that is addicted, he still gamble. That just can not be changed. A person loves himself so much, that he will never do harm to himself. And under harm I understand resisting, forbidding something. No matter how you resist, one day you will take a bite of that gambling "cookie". But, if there is someone who will always remind not to gamble, that will wake gambler from thinking about gambling. Gambler might not gamble physically, have so called strong will, but he will think about gambling all the time. The gears in the head will never stop rotation. That is why there a need of someone who will monitor, and wake up from dreaming.

If people have the determination and strong will to stop gambling, they can do it easily. Unfortunately, only a few people succeed in doing so, while many people still find it difficult to stop gambling. They still follow their ego to try to win the gambling game so they still continue gambling.

Yes, many admit that quitting gambling is difficult and that is the reality. But no matter what, we have to keep trying so that we don't become addicted to gambling and can also enjoy our gambling activities. Don't let our emotions escalate and want to chase victory because that will only make us lose even more money.

We should start to realize that gambling is entertainment. We don't need to try to chase wins and use more money. We must try to be a responsible gambler so that we can stop gambling whenever we want.

No one gets the money easily in gambling, we are all trying our best, and at times, it will be a mixture of winning and losing to the point that we might not have anything to show for it. This is why one must know what they are signing for as far as gambling is concerned so that they will know how to go about it both tactically and psychologically. One thing that also kills gamblers' accounts and wastes their money is when they do not know how to plan, budget, and even stop. All these are keys in gambling and shouldn't be undermined by any gamblers. There are many ways you get to know what to do to be gambling and winning, this is the first part that I believe every gambler must first learn. And after that, they should not rush, but build a plan and be disciplined/determined with what they build with the experience gathered. If not, they will continue to gamble anyhow and the results will always be losses and probably addiction.

You see gambling in gambling if you like seek advice from medical practitioners if you are someone that have won a bet before maybe you were really in need of money as at then and the money happens to solve a problem as at that material time, it would really be difficult for such a person to quit because he will still have that believe that he's gonna win someday just like the previous one he won.

Gambling seems to be very bad if you don't have a steady income and you use the little you have to stake at the expense that you gonna win and at the end of the day you didn't win again. When one have a steady income, it is actually easy to limit gambling because most time you will be occupied with your work thereby no much time to play gamble and moreover gambling will become more fun because even if you lose you still gonna have money to Carter for some of your daily needs. So in conclusion, quitting gambling isn't really easy for someone that have gotten involved in gambling activities and had recorded some winnings in the past.

Strong determination and willingness to do is the best way to stop gambling, also by the help of seeking an advice to medical professionals. It's pretty hard to do because it will take a lot of time and effort to finally get away gambling addiction but in the end it will all worth it because you will finally able to control your emotions and spending habits even in other things. If you really want to gamble, always stick to your mind that gambling is not a source of income to the point that you will give all your time and money in it.

Yes, those are people that think gambling us for making profit or took gambling to be a job. Such people must be addicts because they will allow their emotions to control them and this will make them to keep on chasing their loss, because they think that their win is in the next game. Before you know it they are already addicted to gambling unknowingly to them.

If an addicted gambler wants to stop gambling, he needs to take the bold step to stay away from gambling with all seriousness and determination by determination, if not it will not be easy for that addicted gamblet to quit gambling.

I agree with you that anything excessive will definitely have bad consequences, such as if you gamble too much, it will result in big losses because you spend money continuously, that's why gamblers are always curious about the results of the spins on the machine gambling, so that it is difficult for them to stop if their balance has not been used up and without realizing it, this curious thing will cause someone to become an excessive gambler who chases too much after winning and hopes to win in one session and if they fail they will repeat the next day until they are addicted and it's really hard to stop.

Yes, that's true, as responsible gamblers we have to be able to control ourselves and be good at allocating time and money so that we don't gamble excessively and don't worry about getting addicted because you can stop easily without having difficulty stopping.

Yeah!  Most likely this is true. 
And a real addicted gambler at the stage of the disease, if he really misses one or two days without playing for some reason, automatically begins to think that he missed happy, winning days and generally missed his luck, which would have brought him colossal money exactly when  he didn't play. 
And therefore, such a person, one might say a gambler at the stage of the disease, makes sure not to miss a single day and plays almost continuously.  But it is clear that he is gradually losing everything he has, getting into debt, which he is no longer able to pay off.  And it all ends very tragically. 
And he is led to this by some mystical self-awareness and self-conviction that good fortune and luck will fall on him from somewhere above and that he simply cannot miss this moment in time. 
This often happens to highly superstitious people who believe in omens, and sometimes in omens that they themselves have come up with.

Gambling may look difficult to quit for one that is addicted to it. For an addict, no matter how busy they are they will still make some available time for themselves to bet. Sometimes what make people become an addict most time is when thinking you can re-gain your loses. After losing so much on bet, they believe they will win one day. This made them to keep playing everyday believing that day they may not play may be their day to win.

I noticed one feature of people who are more likely to become addicted to games.This is loneliness if the player does not have great social skills and is simply closed in on himself, then there is a high probability that he will become addicted to games since no one will stop him or tell him to stop.A person who has a lot of friends and acquaintances will notice in time that the person suffers from addiction.

They need to experience losing every means they have to play, especially money because it will come at the time when they have no longer money, they will realize how to earn it and they won't gonna waste it next time. But for the people who get the money easily or always find someone who can fund them on playing, they cannot easily quit and most likely they can recruit others to play with them as well. Quitting requires some positive observations into the future and when a person doesn't have any high aspirations, he often doesn't care about that.

For those who can control themselves and have multiple channels to stay busy all the time, it is not a problem to give up gambling, but for those who have greed for money and a desire to get rich quickly, it is very difficult to give up gambling for those who cannot control themselves.  And sometimes becomes almost impossible.  So in this case it totally depends on the personal control of each one.  And that's why you have to control yourself from the beginning and everything is much easier for the one who can control himself

How easy it will be for anyone to quit gambling depends on if you are an active gambler or a passive gambler. Active gambler refer to someone who take gambling as a major source of income. He might be working or have businesses but the moment he sees gambling as a major source of his finances and also make plans with targeted winnings from gambling, it will be difficult for such person to quit gambling as that will seem like closing down his business venture where he has invested so much.

On the other hand, for someone that is a passive gambler, gambling is just mainly for fun and might be considered a way of earning passive income. He has his job and businesses that pays his bills and he is not desperate to win as the winning from gambling is not part of his planned income.

A passive gambler can decide to quit gambling when he sees it as a major distraction while active gambler will keep modifying his approach leveraging on self motivation, targeting to achieve success.

The deeper you engage yourself, the riskier you are into, as gambling is really tough when you already attach yourself without limitation. I think getting your point in terms of limiting yourself and having the right understanding that it's not always a win when you are involved in this kind of entertainment or business for someone else who still thinks that they have the edge to win over the house. You need to consider the consequences and think ahead as expectation most of the time is not what the outcome will be.

With good control and anticipation, the chance of doing the right thing. Quitting is something that can be achieved if you are not addicted yet, but if you are, there's a need for help from your loved ones to stop and quit your way.

Before someone enters the gambling industry, one must already know the possible dangers of gambling. It's not always rainbows and sunshines in gambling. There will always be times that one will be unlucky and experience losses. Those losses are learning lessons to do better next time around. If one will disregard the consequences of gambling, it's really highly possible that he will suffer addiction later on. And this is because not considering the possible negative effects means being complacent. When you get complacent, you do not care about doing better and rather just go with the flow. So the longer the dependency, the harder it will take for someone to quit gambling.

that is something that is only said because if you have done gambling it will be a different story, it will not be as smooth as what is expected, this happens among all gamblers, the thoughts of gamblers who have high hopes that when they are in gambling everything will be It's complicated where feelings or thoughts can change, at the beginning we may be able to target what we want, but when we win, the thoughts that have been set can change because there is a feeling of dissatisfaction and also curiosity that encourages the gambler to do it continuously without stopping until they become greedy and lose self-control which causes them to lose a lot of money in a short time, like this it will turn them into a habit that will be difficult to get rid of because as you said it has become a habit which may attached to us. Gambling will not harm us if we can respond to it well, don't do it excessively, because if we do it excessively, there is a possibility that it can harm us and it can destroy our lives, so it's best to gamble in moderation, don't do it excessively, which if we do it with Too much will bring problems for us in the future, and this certainly doesn't want to happen, but those who gamble excessively may not think about this. As much as possible we should be able to avoid gambling addiction like you said.

with the need to be fine with ourselves, of course we have to do things that do not trigger problems, especially problems with our health and mental health, it must be taken care of as well as possible, keeping gambling away from ourselves is what must be done. although this is difficult to get rid of especially with those who are already addicted to gambling, of course this will be difficult to get rid of, because those who are already addicted to gambling will find it difficult to realize the possibility of their minds being filled with gambling alone. A thing that has become an addiction and has become a habit, it will be difficult to get rid of. old gamblers or new gamblers are the same, all will feel this if they do not have good self-restriction. so as you said gambling responsibly and carefully is what needs to be done in order to avoid gambling addiction which is difficult to cure if someone is already addicted to gambling.

Informing about the dangers of too much gambling and the high probability of a player becoming addicted to gambling at the stage of the disease is indeed very widespread now in the world. 
Almost everyone who starts gambling is well aware of the possibility of such a development of events.  However, a player who can be called safe does not pay too much attention to such warnings and plays as much as he wants.  And he has absolutely no idea when he crosses the border that separates his gambling from gambling addiction.  And quite often it turns out that the player has already become addicted to gambling, but he does not understand it yet.  And close people already understand that there is a problem, but the player tells them that he can easily stop playing at any time.  But in fact, this is not at all true, he is not able to do this voluntarily because it is a mental illness.  It’s not so easy to find informaation about this boundary between healthy and unhealthy gambling on the Internet.  And therefore, simply information about the dangers of gambling is not enough to effectively combat gambling addiction.

What is interesting is the lack of awareness, I could understand this happening on the past when the world was not interconnected and people only knew about what was happening around them, but today we can find information about almost anything we may want and the consequences of a gambling addiction are well known, so the people falling into an addiction today do not really have too much of an excuse, as this is something that is even taught at schools all over the world in order to prevent those outcomes.

It's difficult because there is a reason to bet, and that reason drives us to do things better, or that's what we believe can be done in casinos, but if we look at it, things are not so simple, things always get complicated. When we engage in something ruthless in a casino, it is difficult to leave it, because we ourselves are accustomed to that. In case we feel that this game is harming us in our life, we can do something that can harm us, for example being in a place that makes us lose a lot of money and that is probably what many do not want, and that is addiction, that is something we should avoid.

If there is a suspicion of that, shouldn't we think more about what harm if we can't continue playing? No, the idea is to be able to be well with ourselves, with our mental health, because in an addiction everything goes to the abyss, and that is a reason enough to leave it, I don't see any other alternative, it is the best option for you after That happens to us, play but with more responsibility and more care.

The number of gamblers who do not have gambling limits so that they spend a lot of money just to gamble and of course it harms them, and this has been experienced by many gamblers who gamble where they are eyeing victory so that they can change their lives, but the reality is that those who gamble excessively become addicted to nothing,  the crushing defeat that is always obtained by many gamblers everywhere. Not many people can limit their gambling activities, especially in limiting their budget many of them play in one gambling session but can spend a lot of money and this is due to the greed that is in them that controls them and also encourages them to do gambling continuously without stopping and not thinking about the big risks that will occur.

This is difficult to avoid because the focus of a gambler who even has self-control can change his motives and goals if they are already in the game,  especially when they get a win then they will most likely continue gambling because they believe luck is still on their side  but the result is reversed, with them continuing the game they will only lose the winnings that have been obtained and can also lose the capital they have.  If they gamble by having limits in the game maybe this all won't happen. seeking satisfaction with gambling is wrong, because it will harm us ourselves indeed dissatisfaction is difficult to resolve,  it will not be easy to solve it with events such as someone who has won a big win but he still continues his game because he wants to get a bigger win than he has got.
