Topic: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. - page 37. (Read 10434 times)

Would you say it's simple? Saying, "Hey, just quit" to someone? No. If only everything were that simple. Addiction is not something you can simply turn off, especially when it comes to gambling. Even while they're bleeding chips, it permeates into their bones and makes them feel like kings and queens. Though they are merely marionettes dancing to the harsh melodies of fate and chance, they mistakenly believe they are the puppet masters. They know they're drowning, yet they refuse to admit it or even reach for a lifeline. Therefore, be aware of the gravity of their situation before offering advise. How about people who are engulfed in this vice? Acceptance is the first step in taking back your life, not a sign of weakness. Awaken before the house consumes everything.

The word addiction is very strong and has the power to control someone that's why is always advisable to have a self control and not to allow yourself to be control by what you're doing, so asking an addict to quit gambling is one thing and doing it another thing  because you can't just ask someone to quit gambling were as to him gambling is the precious thing so it will very difficult for the person to quit.

The truth is that a gamblers can hardly admit being addicted to gamble were as they are always with the impression that they are in control of there mindset towards gambling which makes it very difficult for them to quit, is only possible for someone to quit gambling when he admitted to be  an addict that way could slowly help him reduce gambling a bit by bit till he got control over the gambling and can now decides to permanently quit gambling.

you say its all about a person's intention to cure their gambling addiction, but its never that simple. Complex psychological and physiological problems underlie addiction. Do individuals seek addiction? That they won't stop? Recovery has more challenges than intention. Therapy, medication, and a strong support network are needed.

You're oversimplifying an issue that ruins lives and families. Those who try hard will succeed? Many have tried and failed because they were imprisoned in a system that exploited their vulnerabilities. Dont blame the addict; look at the gambling industry's underlying faults that feed addiction. If someone's in a pit, you dont just tell them to climb out; you offer them a ladder.

If we all only judge from the bad side, it might be true that there are no gamblers who really recover from gambling and get out of the gambling zone but if you can judge from the good side of most gamblers around the world, there are many successful former gambler who can avoid gambling and are right really stop gambling in any form and it all depends on the commitment of someone who has great desire to live a healthy life without gambling and has idea that there are other places that can be used to find entertainment, not just gambling.
If you say gambling is the place that has most negative impact that bit untrue because some other entertainment venues also have greater level of addiction and I think you can't lie to yourself saying it a place that has a negative impact but you are still here to gamble .

We already know that stopping gambling is not easy and requires a lot of effort, especially if someone has been gambling for a long time and is even addicted to gambling. They will feel that there is no hope, but there is if they intend to stop gambling and cure their addiction. It depends on a person's intention to cure his gambling addiction. If he really tries, he definitely can. Those who really try will look for the right way to divert their mind from gambling, and even though it is difficult the first time, they do not give up because they believe that good effort will give good results too. So it all depends on a person's intention to cure his gambling addiction.

If we talk about stopping gambling I would say that it is difficult and no one can easily stop without the desire to come back again whether the next day or when they will definitely return to gambling because someone who has gambled especially a gambling addict has of adrenaline satisfaction that is addictive and always want to feel that feeling all the time.
Indeed no one knows whether someone has really stopped gambling or returned to gambling again because every gambler always has every way to cover up the gambling activities or addiction that they have experienced and people like this usually keep quiet about gambling.

Sorry but so far it seems like there is no gambler who can really stop gambling completely and some people out there who try to leave gambling with the aim of stopping in the end they also come back again but with all the controls and limits they have.
That why gambling is the place that has the most negative impact on the bottom line regarding addiction.

I think the major issue starts when a gambler doesn't set a goal or doesn't follow the golden rules of gambling which is all triggered by not understanding the concept of gambling is to only provide gamblers the chance of winning while the house will always win.
One thing always do when I'm losing is switch to another which could crash or football  but in your situation, I respect you for not going beyond your limit

Trying to beat the house will only bring you to spend more than what you can afford, and logically there's no way that you can beat the house it's being design to make money and not to give money, not a cash-cow a very common misconception when a gambler experienced a win they think that it's just easy to keep doing it from time to time.

Better to treat gambling as a way of killing time with an expense that you are willing to let go or can be carried by your budget.

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.
