Topic: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. - page 37. (Read 10025 times)

The thing is that,  gambling addiction os almost impossible to quite and this is because getting access to gambling sites through smart devices is easier than before and also if the addict have not really made up his mind to quite,  it may be a difficult quest to do so.

The best advice is to avoid getting into addictions because by the time you are already hucked by addictions,  it will become hard to break out of it and that is why,  it is better to stay from becoming addicted than trying to quit it.

Honestly speaking, you cannot maintain what you have declared in your post OP. We are not available with you personally to verify if you are gambling or not, so there is no way to know if you have quit or stopped it for a while before your next stream or not.

About quitting gambling, it is never too easy to leave something you are addicted to but with time, things get changed and you can train your mind that way to leave gambling by considering how much you are losing and how it is affecting your real life expenses.

You can’t explain anything to dependent people with words, citing arguments ranging from the well-being of his family to money. Even if he understands everything that is explained to him, he will still do as he sees fit. He may even do it to spite you in order to prove the opposite. Such conversations are pointless and can only make things worse. Until the addict himself loses a lot of money and understands only with his mind that he is an addict, empirically, nothing will change. It will be good if he understands everything the first time and stops playing forever. It’s another matter if he returns years later and begins to lose many times more than before, such people will play and lose for the rest of their lives. I think they are doomed.

There are some gamblers who have an addiction but do not recognize their addiction. As a result they cannot even recover from that position. I've talked to a few addicted gamblers whose behavior perfectly describes addiction but they deny their addiction when I suggest something to get them out of their addiction. They are not addicted gamblers as they say. But his family members consider him an addicted gambler. Those who identify themselves as addicts they will definitely recover them self.

Recognizing addiction is an important step, and recovery requires a combination of effort, determination, and often external support. As you pointed out, addiction can lead to the loss of many aspects of one's life, including financial stability, relationships, and even employment. This can serve as a wake-up call for some individuals to seek help and make positive changes.

While there may not be a one-size-fits-all method to overcome addiction, the combination of self-awareness, willpower, and a support system can greatly improve one's chances of reducing or eliminating addictive behaviors. It's an ongoing journey, and every small step toward positive change is a significant achievement in itself.

or simply put, don't waste your hard-earned life on irresponsible gambling.

Being empty without anything such as support for an addict could result into something more disastrous since the addict could go unto crime or become deppressed, and the best way i think we should handle addictions is by making steady efforts to quite no matter what the conditions are either we are winning or losing or being on enough cash to keep playing this all contributes alot to what the strength and motivation level to keep fighting and staying motivated to oush through with the addiction.


I have hard a story of someone who was heavily addicted to gambling to the point that his family, friend and job were all lost because of his persistent gambling and reckless spending on gambling, and because of that loneliness he became depressed and committed suicide at the end which was a regrettable outcome for gis families.

Setting spending boundaries is only one aspect of responsible gambling; another is being aware of one's own financial and emotional circumstances. When a someone turns to gambling as their main source of income or as a means of escaping financial hardship, the stakes are too high; both emotionally and financially.

As for the significance of having a reliable source of income outside than gambling, I agree. This acts as a safety net and guarantees that needs for the most basic things are met. Strong decision-making abilities and the self-control to adhere to them are also essential. Its about realizing that gambling should never be a last resort but rather an occasional pastime that, when handled sensibly, can be enjoyable rather than a burdensome endeavor.

It's like that, that's basically what everything related to gambling is made of, we are gamblers, you are constantly fighting against the house advantage, it is known that in the long term it will make us lose, the tendency will always be to win in the house , it is something that we must understand, I have made it a conclusion every time I play in a short-term casino, that is, if I have 30USD what I do is play and play, I only manage to multiply it well, but if not I don't insist anymore and accepted the defeat, for me it is the best option, obviously I will play following my own rules, not breaking them because if I break them, I won't do anything, so when we are in this type of activity we know that the most Surely what we have is defeat, that's the main thing we should not worry about that, defeats in the casino, in trading are normal, there is nothing to do there, there are certain advantages that we have when winning, yes, but the Gusts are quite short, and you should take advantage of them.

When in a casino we do Certain things to be able to establish a period of profit or loss, it is very difficult to be profitable in the casino, basically it would be necessary to do something like Every time you win, stop playing even if it is just a little, in case We don't win, we don't spend more than what we have planned, this is a form of protection to know well that only what is coming to us, then in this order of things we as good players who understand everything related to what it is to play , win, lose, we must accept things, so we cannot think that our performance in the casinos is the same if we lose, being profitable in a casino is something almost impossible, it is like in trading, it is Easier to be profitable there, I even dare to think that in elective bets the chances of winning increase enormously because they depend on the person's degree of Knowledge about the sport, and well , of course if luck accompanies it, it is something better.

both are easy to quite if we follow a plan or strategy.
like while quieting tobacco we need to quite it slowly it cannot be quitted in one day, we need to consume it less and lesser day by day to do not face any health effect.
to quite gambling it's simple if you are at initial stage; just delete your every gambling platform account and delete browser history, leave very places which reminds you about gambling and easy profits.

The proportion of people who gamble for fun is often too small. Most of them risk to make money. They think this is a place to make money without working hard. The constant winning and losing motivates them to continue playing, causing them to fall into gambling, leading to addiction. Only those who are alert enough can escape that temptation.
In terms of gambling addiction, I believe it will be easier to quit than addiction to illegal substances, tobacco, or alcohol.

Yes, it has to be like that, if you want to gamble, don't try to gamble for money, because in the end there are two possibilities of losing a lot of money and getting addicted, don't be obsessed with anything about winning big but gamble wisely and responsibly, as you said, gambling should be for Having fun like that is the right way to instill it into our mindset so that we don't get addicted and are truly controlled.

I'm sure many of us always come across words like this in every thread and it will continue to be a warning to all forum users not to gamble excessively beyond their limits so that spending money that is not limited by their budget will never be good in the end, always remember that gambling for something fun, not to try to beat the dealer.

I agree with you here: gambling is not what someone should do when they don't have any means of earning; it always has some kind of side effect on time in the aspect of their playing behaviour. When you gamble without having somewhere you earn and make a living from, then you will gamble with everything that you have because your daily feeding will depend on you winning the game in which you are gambling, and when you ose,  remembering that you don't have anything in your house to go back to, you will have to try over and over again, even if it takes you to borrow in order for you to continue playing.
 
But when someone has a paying job and just left over of their spending is being used to gamble, then things will be a little different for the person, as they can still call it a day when they squander the money they have budgeted for that day. Aside from the paying job part, one also has to be a good decision-maker and to stand by their decision in order for them not to play with more than they have budgeted.

That is true, but many people continue to use gambling as their main source of income, making it difficult for them to find other sources of income. They also have the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling because making gambling a source of income will trigger them to gamble more often. Of course, they can also experience losses more often. If they cannot stop immediately before they develop a gambling addiction, they will not encounter problems that could endanger their lives. But if not, they must be prepared to encounter those problems, which might also ruin their life. So if they already have the desire to stop gambling, they should immediately make it happen before it's too late and it's better to look for other, more promising sources of income.

This is the wisest and most correct advice for all players who are interested in gambling. 

However, not all players listen to such wise advice and we all often know about the tragedy in some families, when one of the members of sach g family becomes a sick person, becomes addicted to gambling, a real gambler, which is very similar to drug addiction.  I would also note the fact that occurs in life, this is the inability of some player to simply determine for himself the limit of loss when he really begins to turn into a gambling addict. 
And even the urgent demands of his relatives, who have already clearly understood that he is becoming sick, to stop playing, are ignored by such a player.  He still thinks that he will get lucky, win a lot of money and become happy and rich.  Unfortunately , such thoughts visit his brain quite often and persistently. 
But this is how the life of individual gamblers works, who, as they say, are too gambling and do not know the measures and do not follow the basic safety rules in these games.

Too delusional kind of people who do really believe that gambling could really be a source of income and we know that it isnt really that able to fit on that criteria since we know that gambling is really just that for entertainment but people do really becomes that too desperate on trying out to achieve on what they do have in mind which is really that very wrong. You would really be finding yourself in great trouble on the time that you would be pursuing that kind of target towards gambling. You would really be that ending up on being devastated because gambling is really that bound to lose. House do always win at the end
and we know that gambling is really just that for fun and winning isnt guaranteed and luck isnt really that in our side most of the times.

Gamble for fun and dont go overexert yourself because if you do make yourself that too impulsive then it would really be ending up on a disaster. This is why you should really be
that careful on not to make yourself that get addicted.

Yes, you're right and the best way to keep ourselves prepared for whatever happens is to follow the golden rules about how to gamble successfully, how to control buzz, and how to maturely accept the concept behind what I mentioned.

Honestly, gambling is not for everyone who's mature enough to get control over themselves.

I think I agree with you that some people, I will say, not smart enough people, may actually think that gambling can be a source of permanent income. 
This conviction may especially arise among overly impressionable people   w ho have seen enough Hollywood blockbusters about super players who have won so much that they are bathed in luxury and simply do not know what to do with the money from their winnings.  Sometimes newspapers and the Internet also write about such professional players, for example, when playing poker.  Of course, this also happens in life, but it is so rare that an ordinary person, without any special abilities, will never achieve such winnings.  And often it seems to me that such films and messages are just hidden advertising for the entire casino industry.  But such naive people still exist and then all their games end in losses.  And it’s good if they lose a little, or, as they say, they lose as much as they can afford. 
but some sometimes turn into complete bankrupts and are forced to look for a real job for a regular salary.

The most dangerous parts from gambling is some people think it can be a main source of income and chasing our loss is not hard (in theory).
Most of the gamblers able to stop because they dont have any more money, cant get any loan to gamble etc.

Gamble for fun and gamble with the money you can afford to lose aka not using somebody else money or the money from a loan, as simple as that.

You've taken a break in between. Not everyone have the right understanding about gambling. The focus will be much into money making and they never want to lose. We should keep ourselves prepared to experience anything. If we don't have mind then gambling is not for us. Once after losing, gamblers intend to spend beyond their limit to recover the lost fund. As said it is possible to stay away from gambling, if a person have got the control over him and know his limits.

You may be right about lacking the courage but that's not what it is. Gambling is not for people who are not mature enough to understand the concept of the game and control their buzz.
3 weeks ago I gambled alot, and made a huge profit, next made less profit, and last week I made a huge loss. If I don't understand the game concept I will continue playing when I need to stop for some time until when I am lucky again.
