Topic: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. - page 18. (Read 10336 times)

That's right! It's really not easy to stop especially if you are already addicted into it. As we know, addiction is the kind of behavior that requires professional support to overcome because the process of healing needs an intensive guiding. As you've said, those addicted gamblers has a mentality of asking their self of many "what if" and that is one of the major reason why they are having a difficulties about leaving this activity. I'm not saying they shouldn't think about such things but at least they should be aware of what is happening to themselves and better as soon as possible to resolve before it gets worse.

Generally, stopping an addiction is hard and gambling is not an exception. It is not easy to quit gambling because of the mentality of most gamblers. It is the belief of most gamblers that they can win and make it big from gambling hence their inability to stop. Also, some gamblers hold this belief that they have lost a lot in gambling and there is a need to recoup the loss thus there continues trial. In the same vein, some others will say "If I quit gambling how will I get the millions?" When you look at these diverse mentalities it becomes difficult for a gambler to quit.

But I would like to note that all players understand this responsibility differently.  For one player, responsibility begins when, for example, his little child asks “Dad! Play with me, don’t play on the computer!”  And such a person turns off the computer and goes to play with the baby.  But for the other player, responsibility does not arise even when his wife takes away all the money from him, which he will lose anyway, and he goes to a friend and borr ows money.  In our understanding, this is, of course, a completely irresponsible player.  But he himself doesn’t think so.  It is in the understanding of this difference by different people that there is a difference in approaches to understanding responsibility in gambling.  Here, in general, it is quite difficult to determine this very line of responsibility or irresponsibility of this particular player whom we are evaluating.

Exactly,  it takes time before you can establish that pattern why bother to provide or share it freely,  as mentioned,  there are experienced gamblers who manage to create good strategies that simply works for them and give them decent benefits,  they will continue to improve it to make sure they will make a good use of it, newcomer also need to invest their time and effort if they are keen  to succeed,  either to proceed fulfilling their dreams or quit and stop not to fall for more losses.

It makes sense that professional gamblers do not really like to share their methods with others, as those are methods that have taken them a significant amount of time to develop, so sharing that information for free does not really sit well for them, so newbie gamblers that want to become pros need to find their own way and almost reinvent the wheel, and even if after a long time they became professional gamblers I am sure many of them will also refuse to share their findings due to all the hard work that it took them to get where they are.

Not all professional gamblers are like that, and to overcome this, novice gamblers can look for other information that has been shared both on this forum and elsewhere. Beginner gamblers can definitely get what they want by searching various places, and if they don't know or need an answer, they can ask it on this forum, so many people will provide the answer. Yes, professional gamblers will show it with actions and not with words because they feel that novice gamblers are not really beginners. They need to learn it themselves so they can adapt to the conditions they experience. If professional gamblers only give words or advice without action, novice gamblers won't understand, so it's better for professional gamblers only to give it in the form of action and give a little advice.

I can say that there are lonely people out there that can be said that they're on their own and they only find happiness in an activity. One activity for example is with gambling, there is no doubt that someone can do that for themselves but when they get too much, addiction is going to be the result of it.

Well, if you've got a lot of time then it is for sure best to spend that with your family rather than gambling. You can allocate your time and divide it nicely both for gambling and also for bonding with your family. You don't know that it's just going to be something worthwhile while you're with them but it's also no doubt that when you win, you also enjoy right? But going back, if someone has to quit, you need to have a strong will.

That's right, you're absolutely right, a person who is always active with their things to have fun doesn't have to give up anything to feel better, if they do it it's because they feel good, now I think everything focuses on the problems of addiction, which which is something that causes all types of problems in life, it is necessary that the person is decapitated and that apart from being left without money, that person could be left without friends and possibly without family, and that is something very sad, it is something that cannot be It must be done, that is why sometimes there are people who say that you should stop playing, or you should stop drinking, or having fun, of course it is not them, because it is something that does not concern them much, I think that the people who Those who can talk about things like this are those who have gone through that problem and who have been able to come out of it unscathed and overcome that addiction, regardless of the path, through detoxification or by sheer force of will because they have a good understanding of who they are as a person.

In the case of drugs, as I have already said, I believe that it is the most serious problem, because this is capable of killing the person, and if it happens, then they overdose and die, with the casinos, with the games, the addiction of the emotions, but more of the emotions I think it's from that little voice in the brain that tells you, keep going Juan, with the next game and suck you win double, or you get everything back, find a person who is capable Playing in a casino you must be very well prepared to do things well, because otherwise it will be a total disaster, and the truth is that here in the casino, there are a lot of people who are suffering from addiction, where my main advice is , let him play but in short intervals, let him play with the most intensity, that is, if it lasted 4 hours in the casino, this time he reduces it to 2 hours per week, and the next week to 1 hour, and until it reaches 10 or 5 minutes, so that the addiction does not cause you so much anxiety, and so you can get out of it, sport helps enormously for an addicted person, that is what I recommend, although the best thing is that you go to a psychologist who will help better .

But the problem is that professional gamblers sometimes don't want to share their experiences with novice gamblers and not all professional gamblers want to answer every question that novice gamblers want to know. Like one day there was a novice gambler who asked what to pay attention to and avoid when gambling and the professional gambler answered just do what you do.
Actually, I know what professional gamblers mean so that novice gamblers don't get too spoiled, every little thing is always asked, whereas currently sophisticated search media provides many things that we need and if novice gamblers experience problems or whatever, it can be an experience to fix it yourself and get learning valuable.
So sometimes professional gamblers give advice not in too many words but only in action.

If we have a good relationship with our family, I'm sure we won't go beyond our limits when gambling, because of course we have budget and time limits for our family too so it will be well controlled. Gambling recklessly is a fatal mistake especially if we don't have a good relationship with our family. it will ruin your gambling mood and make it difficult to feel comfortable when gambling.

Gambling should be a hobby, not a job that has to be done every day, there are certain times to play which are more comfortable for gamblers, when we feel bored with gambling we can look for other hobbies to entertain ourselves so we don't just rely on gambling as entertainment to have fun. like.

In fact, novice gamblers can learn from experienced gamblers by always looking for ways to gamble comfortably like experienced gamblers always do. This is so that they don't gamble excessively and can always control themselves when gambling. However, if a novice gambler does not want to learn how to control himself well and tends to gamble frequently, he will not be able to resist the temptation that comes to him, so he will eventually experience a gambling addiction. And if he is addicted to gambling, he will only think about gambling without any desire to do other things.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate your concern, and it's true that some people may turn to gambling for companionship or as a way to rid of loneliness. It's important to approach these situations with empathy and understanding.

Your advice about estimating time with family and treating gambling as a hobby resonates well. Building meaningful connections can indeed provide a more fulfilling and sustainable source of support.

You know, sometimes what you said also comes to mind, so maybe there are other gamblers who spend their time gambling because they think that they are alone in their lives and only gambling is their partner in their solitude.

You can't blame them because the others are brought on by old age; there are probably gamblers in the same situation. But if you're strong and not that old, it's still good to spend more time with your own family than to waste it on useless things. Do gambling only as a hobby and for no other reason.

Well, quit gambling? I think this is even harder for me than quitting smoking and drinking alcohol. Cigarettes and alcohol are always harmful to health, and they are costly. I'm thinking of giving them up. Regarding gambling, I will never quit. It is my spiritual food. It really helps me entertain myself and earn some money. There is no reason for me to give up gambling.
Yes, gambling also involves high risks. Your addiction to gambling will ruin your life more than cigarettes and alcohol. So it depends on each person. If you feel gambling is beneficial for yourself, Why do we give up gambling?

Yes, this is where an experienced gambler has the ability to control because no matter how addicted he is to gambling, he can control himself. But if someone is non-professional and if he cannot control himself in gambling then there must be a big threat for him. A non-professional gambler does not realize how much risk he is in by becoming addicted to gambling. But a professional gambler with a lot of experience can save himself from the horrors of gambling even if he is addicted to gambling.

It will be even more difficult if they have a stubborn nature where they will not accept advice from other people so that what other people say will be of no use. People like those who are difficult to advise cannot be changed or willing to open their minds because they still believe that they are fine. They don't want to listen to other people even though what other people say is true, and they should be able to accept advice from other people.

People who have been gambling for a long time have experienced the effects of gambling because they have at least started to gamble more frequently, even though they can still control their gambling games and not fall deeper into gambling. But people who cannot control themselves will get deeper into gambling without being able to know whether they are addicted to gambling or whether they are still okay. But most gamblers have started to like gambling and can still play occasionally.

To be precise, their knowledge is not broad so they cannot realize what they are doing is wrong. The only factor that can make them realize is that they themselves do not think about the losses they have experienced, as well as the many solutions they can do to stop gambling, but it is difficult for them to realize so they cannot accept that gambling must be abandoned. Not to mention if they have a stubborn nature, I think it will be very difficult to make them realize.

People who have been gambling for a long time will find it difficult to open new thoughts, because they will only think about the winnings they will get, even though it will not guarantee them to be able to change their lives nor will it make their lives easier in the future, maybe some people have luck in gambling so that they can get big wins that can change their lives, but people's luck is different. So it should be able to think about this that maybe this will make them realize not to do excessive gambling.

Life is too short and that's why I hope that those that can't control themselves will think of that and they will immediate realize that it's better for them to do something for their loved ones than to focus in gambling when they've got limited resource and time for it. While the time and money that they're going to spend to their loved ones are going to be worthwhile.

It's truly different but someone has to appreciate that when he's on the downside of his life because of gambling. We're not stopping people to gamble because we're all gamblers. But we're reminding people that they need to do what's priority to them and when they gamble, they need to gamble only with the amount that they can afford to lose because it's not always a good day and lucky day for all of us. Even if we're the luckiest today, tomorrow it won't be and that's why allot time to your family and they can help you quit gambling or lessen your gambling activities.

It's like this, when it comes to the game, before playing we have to make plans, put intelligence into everything that is done, I consider that the most intelligent thing to do in these cases is to make a good plan available, a plan that is It adapts completely to the basic things, and one of those is our pocket. We can't spend more than we should, because we can't, if we do it like we do later, to respond to the things we should buy, spend or do Immediately? We are people who at any time can be fine with any type of casino games or sports betting, because basically if we start playing with controlled money, or that which we allow ourselves to lose, we are going to enjoy ourselves and we are going to get things done. very well, besides nothing will get out of control, everything will be under our control all the time, whether or not we are inside a casino, we know that things can be difficult to win, however we must Always look for that, to win.

Winning in the good sense of the Word, not like there are some people who enter a casino for the first time and start doing everything wrong, and bet everything they have, and that is not the idea, to do things like that so desperate and Because they don't have a plan , they fall into addiction immediately, not otherwise, everyone can do it, but we can also control ourselves, reason is above any impulse, and although casinos always bring out our emotions, impulses , all of this makes us feel bad at a given moment, in a casino we cannot lose control, if we lose control we lose money, that is logical, and we have to take care of our money, we Cannot assume that money will give us everything to be able to settle things and run out of money, therefore our money will always be our first Objective and we can take care of it, much better.

Gambling is not only for fun as you said OP otherwise there wouldn't be that desperacies to who wins and who looses. Besides... Who wants to keep loosing it's money all for fun? If you want catch the fun in gambling then play with friends, families or colleagues but at the moment of you in the gambling tables, you remains a threat to your oppositions against their winning and the winning is come with undisputable excitements which probably the rate of the won crown could change financial status an overnight and so can also change the loosers financial status overnight by deflation.
So know when you gambles for fun and when you have to gamble to win and not just about the relaxation that rambling is just fun.
 If you are still gambling, you should quit now. If you cannot quit by yourself, there are so many channels to help you. Even you can talk to me. I will do my best to help you.

Moreso, gambling is a source of income  as long it has a profit that is why stakes are required to multiplying the winners stake rather it shouldn't be taking a prio or leanis on it as your source of income else that is where addictions and irresponsibilities are breeded.
