Small action to start moving away from gambling, that's the power of will and maybe from that beginning a gambling addicted person is showing his interest to change his way, you know there are many gambling addicted people who really needed assistance but they don't have any such will to begin with. That kind of gesture will remain as intention but there's nothing will happen. They will just continue gamble and continue to lose more money.
Someone needs small actions to begin with, and it has to be done regularly and cannot just be done for a few days and then think we have cured the gambling addiction. That's not how it works.

We have to routinely carry out small actions or do things outside of our old habits, namely gambling, to form new habits that will help us divert our minds to these new things. If we can do small things regularly, we can start adding other things that can make us even busier doing it. This will help divert attention carried out continuously to make us stay away from gambling.

Exactly, if you find other things that can gain your attention it will divide your time and your focus, it's good as an alternative to break some time with your gambling activities, and with self-will you might find yourself focusing and trying to divert everything just to avoid your gambling participation, it's always on your side to choose whatever direction you wanted to point your attention.

If you want to quit, there's always a way to begin with. Just add your will and it can happen along the way.

Anything to be able to attract the attention of a person with an addiction is a gain, because for a person with an addiction it is good that there are things to be able to have more time doing another activity, and that is what should be applied in those cases , so that keep your body and mind busy with other things, for that reason you can do more things against addiction but with the supervision of an expert, with a psychologist and sometimes even a psychiatrist because it is very common that other activities can be done, such as sleep cures or something like that so that the person does not have that anxiety and the dream makes them Understand the damage that is being done.

That's right because it will be a solution for those who want to find alternative activities besides gambling to reduce their time gambling. Those who try to find an activity they like don't need to think too complicated because they can start one small activity that can divert their attention from gambling. If they are getting used to the new activity, don't stop and keep doing it while doing other activities. Gradually, they will discover that they can actually reduce their gambling activities as long as they are willing to start.

There will always be a way to stop gambling. It just depends on whether they want to do it or not. And if they really want to reduce their gambling activities, they have to really try. They just have to keep trying until they can completely divert their attention from gambling.

Yes it is true that for a while maybe by finding that other thing we will do a division of time, namely time for gambling and time for other things that we just found, but honestly it's not bad for the first step because it all starts from the smallest first so that later maybe they can completely turn their attention to the new alternative and forget about their gambling. But yes honestly I also agree with what you said that whatever their activities are they should still take time to rest, especially in gambling because if they continue to be there it will be very bad for their finances and also mentally and psychologically, they could experience stress.

And yes as you said that we just have to add our willpower if we want to stop, and also I will add a little bit that there is also we have to take action to encourage that willpower. Don't let you want to stop but only say it and not with the action of effort as the process of our journey to stop, so the point is to set your strong will and take the first step that you can do, as we discussed now, namely by adding activities or other alternatives so that we can slowly forget about gambling.

Addiction to gambling is same as addiction to drugs and other substances, The first solution to this is for the individual to be ready to come out of their addictions and this could be done by having some changes in the daily habits characters and activities that could settle all the possibilities of sliding back into the addictions.

So for that, we have to monitor all our activities,  to make sure that we are not overly getting involved in gambling and other vices that could possibly negatively affect our well-being.

Although I feel that addiction to drugs has more effect on the individual than addiction to gambling, I once said that some compulsive gamblers can steal money just to bet, and this also applies to some drug addicts in our region, but the level at which drug addicts steal things is very alarming; in fact, they can sell all their belongings just to make sure they take their normal substance. Also, I think that it is more difficult to convince a drug addict to stop than it is with compulsive gamblers, but they both have the same case for resolution of their problem, which is to first of all be convinced that what they are doing is wrong and have to keep in check their habits towards that which they are doing that is not right.
All this things ruined human characters, drugs addiction condemn the cells of human systems because its something you are taking directly to your body and since you are taking it to your body it have disadvantages or effect in the body, so you cannot compare drug addict with gambling addict because drugs addict is taking unknown substance to body that can lead the person to a three hours eliminations of life without wasting time, why gambling ruined the emotional feeling of human through expectations of money to be win and money being loosed during participating in gambling

Quit gambling now!


If you decide to quit gamble or take gamble as entertainment only, welcome to join me.


I hate gamble!

Maybe you have a bad attitude towards gambling but gambling is legalized for people in some countries. However, gambling has more negative impacts than positive impacts. If you can refrain from gambling then surely it is good for you and you will not have any stress. But many cannot be freed from the bad effects of gambling and in this case he has to spend his life in a very bad situation later on.

Again many consider gambling as a part of entertainment but in their case also they do not have to face any family problems later on. I have completely abstained from gambling for now and plan not to become addicted to gambling in the future.

Personally I was never been able to quit gambling totally. There were a part of my life when I was nearly destroyed due to my compulsive gambling. I tried to quit gambling for good but it was more difficult the more I resisted.
Now I have recovered with a different strategy. I don't use my day jobs salary to gamble anymore. I have dedicated a fixed income source to be used as gambling fund and I stop when I use them all. A controlled gambling has made it easier for me to deal with my life. I'm not sure if it would work for my lifetime but it has worked over a year now.
It’s great that you overcame yourself and found a suitable strategy for you. Try to increase the pauses between games and occupy the time with something else, such as sports or meeting friends it’s important to be more distracted by something else. And then you will understand that games do not take up your time and cause addiction to the game it is important to have fun.
Everyone who overcame their addiction has really fought a great battle with your mind and your thoughts because it's not easy to fill up that space where you always think of playing more even if you get a little loss during gambling. Other than winning a bet I think the most hardest thing to do as a gambler is how to effectively stop your self from being an addicted gambler to a more responsible and careful gambler because it takes  a hell lot of discipline and the worst part is that most people who even claim of stopping still eventually go back to it if they don't Keep themselves occupied.

Everyone has their own comfort and their own strategy to control themselves because other people don't have the power to change someone, whoever it is, it's good if there is a comfortable way to control our addiction, any busyness will definitely make us forget about gambling, let alone limit our time. For us to gamble, it would be very good to divert our thoughts and desire to gamble.

Personally, I only gamble on weekends and spend most of my days with work and family, gambling just to have fun, that's the mindset I instill because that way we won't be chasing something that we shouldn't be chasing in gambling, especially beating the bookie and win big, get rid of that obsession and always make gambling just for fun and winning is a bonus. paying for something nice doesn't seem to matter if we lose. during that time we can control it and stop whenever we want also gamble whenever we want.

I also go almost every weekend to bet. I love sports betting and most of the bets on some of the exciting matches I usually follow take place on the weekends. Apart from that it is very rare that I go to bet.
I don't know if it was a control that I created myself or if it happened automatically because I was also busy with other things. I only have free time there on weekends, and I enjoy it. It's possible that if I had more free time, I might not be as controlled in betting.

There are somethings that are easy to say but to put it into action is the problem. To quit something that has been installed into the bone is not easy to do but easy to talk.
An issue that has become a hobby is easy to say but difficult to implement.
It is very difficult to leave because many temptations come back to whisper in your mind to return to playing.
Being able to fight it, that's great.

And gambling is not only for fun but also for income. There are some gamblers that went to the sportsbook center or casino hall to play game because of income and not fun. So gambling is for the both side of the coin.
It's impossible to gamble that the target isn't a win because by getting a win, automatically the goal of getting income has become the player's main target. Usually when gambling has been used as a place to earn income, usually that is where the addiction first appears and will get stronger if you have won big money on several occasions.

As others have said, quiting gambling need strong mindset because at that stage the gambler might be an addicted one. But if he wants he can still stop gambling.
The mindset in question is a desire that exists in each individual and it is a challenge that is very difficult to overcome. Many whispers remind us to get back to playing. One way might be to keep yourself busy other than gambling activities.
Because, if you are already at the level of addiction, it is not impossible to return to normal, but difficult.

Well, I agree with all you have said aside from that which you said about gambling being for income, gambling was never meant to serve as a source of income for any body, gambling for income is just an abuse of gambling, but then, it's really not surprising that many gamblers today see gambling for income as a normal thing and even encourage it, gambling for income is one of the major reason or driver and cause of gambling addiction , and for anyone who wishes to gamble peacefully with little to no chance of getting addicted , such gambler must do away with gambling for income, chasing income through gambling drive gamblers into wagering money they can't afford to lose, and when they lose the money, they start looking for all means to win the money back which often results in more and more losses, before they probably realize what is happening, gambling has become a major part of their lives, something they can no longer do without , this is addiction .
That is very correct and that is what gave birth to the popular saying that ( it is easier said than done) with that I believe we should know what hell of a hard job it is to get out of gambling addictions or any form of addictions at all,  this is why we always encourage ourselves to always try as much as possible to avoid falling into gambling addictions.

Because to get out of it is very hard,  and one of the many reasons that cause addictions in society today is lack of self-control allowing yourself to become overly excessive on some things that you should have ordinarily managed to avoid it happening.

It's because most of us people are not consistent, like today I would say I would not really gamble anymore, but tomorrow you've just opened the website of a casino and said that you just played for 10 minutes, and it turns out you played for hours. If we don't have consistency and self-discipline, we will always be defeated by our urge to play, which I know is a difficult thing to do. That is why others build habits on them, like playing sports, just to make them forget about gambling.

It is really best to divert our attention to others so that we will forget the gambling, stay busy on other things so we won't be able to think about gambling, and also always seek help from your family and talk about your gambling activities so that they can still help you to prevent it, like saying that you will go on vacation for a few days or enroll you in the gym so that you'll start lifting weights.
The best way to keep yourself away from gambling is to develop many other hobbies which also develop your discipline, as it is incredibly easy for a person to say they are never gambling again but it is incredibly difficult to actually fulfill their word, so people need to develop that discipline if they had not done so already, and the best way to do it is with a hobby which requires it, and after you have been free of gambling for a time you will not have that compulsion to gamble anymore.
Most of the time people doesn't have anywhere to spend time. This lands them into gambling and the initial luck could bring win. If the person have well known about gambling he/she will take the profit and leave it for the day. The new ones will continue to wager and starts to dream. They don't know within few days we're gonna destroy all the dreams. Better choice is keep yourself away, once entered we can't easily come out of it. This happens because of the loss we had experienced keeping us active to recover and end gambling.

It all depends on one's intention to want to stop gambling. With a strong intention to stop gambling, they will try to start with action and not just words, especially if they already know the impact they have felt so far. There is an internal desire to stop gambling, so they continue to think about how while fighting the urge to gamble. This may be a psychological war within us, but we can do it if our intentions are strong.

A gambler addicted to gambling needs to make up his mind to get stronger and start doing something to take his mind off thinking about gambling. Maybe asking someone else to accompany him in doing something could help him. At least he needs to do small things first to see how things change, and must be done regularly so that there are results.

Small action to start moving away from gambling, that's the power of will and maybe from that beginning a gambling addicted person is showing his interest to change his way, you know there are many gambling addicted people who really needed assistance but they don't have any such will to begin with. That kind of gesture will remain as intention but there's nothing will happen. They will just continue gamble and continue to lose more money.

Apparently there are levels to this and one is overly higher than the other. Addiction is something that builds in the subconscious act of someone having cravings for a particular thing or activity and in most cases, it’s always that difficult to quit.

The best thing is never to form or develop the addiction in the first place. While drugs might seem to pick when compared with gambling addiction is because, it’s outlawed and you doing drugs is you already on the band side of government.

Meanwhile, drug addiction plays on your metal state of being and for some, it’s an escape from time and all that goes on about them. This pretty makes it a do without as it’s tailored into their lifestyle while, gambling. It’s a view thing and how financial sufficient you are. Those who see it for a means to survival always peaks in this scale but then, addiction only takes a gradual approach to being dropped.
