Topic: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. - page 46. (Read 10336 times)

If they can increase their intention to stop gambling, they will see a way to stop gambling completely. Maybe they will try to reduce their gambling activities first while looking for what they can do. Maybe it's not easy for them but with strong intentions, they can do it, especially if their families assist them to stop gambling. It will be very valuable for them because they feel that someone still wants to help them overcome their problems. If they have successfully tried it and seen the results, the desire to stop gambling will get stronger and in the end, they can really stop gambling.

Although it is not easy, it depends on a person's intention to try to stop gambling. And when that intention becomes stronger, no people or promotions can tempt him to return to gambling because he has already seen the impact if he returns to gambling again. And there is no need for religion to intervene to stop it, but his awareness makes him have a strong desire to stop. But if they realize that religion forbids gambling and want actually to stop, that's great for them because they want to return to their religion and become devout followers of that religion.

It is all about the way how we take it forward. If we can keep ourselves under control, then it is possible to stay out of addiction. Lust is something that can be overcome concentrating on alternative things. Some might fail in it, but there is possible choices. If we consider gambling is similar to lust, then it is controllable. According to me lust on gambling and lust alone have got different meaning. Lust is some sort of feel, but with gambling there is money involved which could cause a negative effect than just lust which is much about feel.

It's very hard to quit gambling once you are being addicted cause the mindset of the addict are only being happy when they involve in gambling and also they aim for the winning so they can't control their emotion. And once they are became addict they don't mind that they will loss more money or even those their things cause once they don't have enough money some of them are selling their things in order to have enough money to sustain their wants.

This is a bit confusing, to be honest. Being an addict to something means that you can't stop doing it or, at best, it's hard to stop doing it. So, how do you suggest those gambling addicts to quit gambling just by deciding to do so. If it was that easy for them then they wouldn't be addicts in first place!

Do you mind expending more on this? What do you mean by being addict knowingly and being addict unknowingly?

Seriously, it is not easy to quit gambling, even if you are not addicted to it or your religion is against it. Once you are into gambling, leaving will definitely be very hard for some people, especially when you are on the winning side at the moment. Sometimes we win gambling without losing many tickets, while sometimes we lose as usual, and that is how gambling works.  However Some people are very religious. Once they are aware that gambling is against their religion, whatever amount that gambling generates, they will never gamble in their entire lives. The same is true for some people; even if it’s again against their religion, they will still gamble. They don’t mind; they only need money. But for me, that is not the case. Gambling is something that we must do with caution.

Yeah, I see that point the intention was there, but if you failed to resist and you follow the dominance of your desire that lust inside you will be going stronger and your engagement to gambling will be more solidify you need to work more with your will and make sure that you have that inner strength that can limit your gambling session.

It's tough to work on your own lust. I mean, beating something that you are being please, gambling is entertaining and enjoyable, the problem is you really can't control once you already engage too much.

We must understand that the fact that some gamblers refused to stop gambling when they are not seeing any good results coming out from it,  does not necessarily mean they are addicted to it, their refusal to stop might just be as a result of lack of other things to do..
The mind is never empty, you either have something in there or something will find it's way in there , this is why it is popularly said that an empty mind is the devil's workshop, if you want to quit gambling and you don't have other things to do to help get your mind off gambling and focus on that thing, then quitting gambling will be very hard and difficult,  in fact it will be very impossible if you ask me.
 So by this , the first step to quitting gambling is by getting our mind busy with other things

To quit in gambling is not hard except that you don't have nothing doing except gambling, it's when you will find it difficult to leave gambling, when you have different things that will take your time, you will not be much engaged in gambling, so i believe that gambling is something I know that when you have no job doing all your hope will be in gambling and when you are desperate to participate in gambling you be addicted, so what I'm telling you is that you have to understand the difference between the secret behind being addicted in gambling knowingly and unknowingly

Exactly, for some people, they wouldn't stop gambling even they are already have a bad results. They will say I will quit, but in the next few weeks, they will going back. Without a strong inner desire to stop, there was no other way. Forgetting the defeat have experienced, focusing on other things, might help. But, they must also remember, that they already has the intention to stop gambling. Never ever trying to play again. Once they tries, the addiction has previously managed to reduce may feel stronger than before.

Those are just beliefs and there's nothing wrong with it like there's nothing to lose if you try those just some form of rituals before making to play a game, personally I did the same thing if the game didn't make a good run I try to reload the platform and wait for almost 20 seconds or a minute before to play again or else I will change the game for a while and brings back again once I'm done I will back again to the original game I've been playing like we are just removing the bad luck reason why we are doing this. Its same as equivalent of a rest.

I don't know if you can call superstitious gambling belief as spiritual though, but we all know that gamblers are one of the most superstitious persons that you are going to be meet because they believed that things can affect their winning or losing a game.

That's why I said that everything is based on pure luck and pure luck alone. There is no amount of spiritual or whatever we call it that can change the game in our favor. So just enjoy and have some fun and gamble money that we can afford to lose.

People who are religious fanatics will indeed hate gambling and advise everyone to stay away from gambling and not even gamble at all. They know that gambling can have such a bad effect on their lives that they will never want to gamble. But even so, some still like to gamble because they are tempted to win money. And that's what makes it difficult for people to stop gambling and instead, more and more people gamble because they think they can make quick money from gambling.

But to stop gambling requires a strong intention and the right effort so that they can really stop gambling and never return to gambling again. Only people who have such things can completely stop gambling while others will return to gambling and there are even many who develop gambling addiction without help.

WTF, people going spiritual to win gambling??? That's the height of it, how could they be so naive and try to cheat the balance of nature with spiritual manipulation? Well, it's obvious that such a thing doesn't work, because if it works, it would have been a trend that people will be imbibing these days. I think I heard of a story similar to this in my country too, but it has been many years back to the extent that I couldn't remember vividly anymore. The person tried to go diabolic on a lotto company but ran mad in the process.

I believe that all these are unnecessary but people are doing it for the desperation of wanting to make money very easily and fast, which is not wise. Gambling is not the place to turn to become rich, you will hardly see people getting rich there except a few who are just destined for it. Gambling is where you can get a moderate amount of money, and can be consistent with it only if you know how to play well and luck is on your side.

People don't just hate gamble right out of their minds, it's either they are religious fanatics or they have tasted large amounts of losses with gambling, and they decide to quit and also ruin everything about gambling in the face of many.

There is no reason to hate gambling, if you understand how gambling should be played you will be on the good side of gambling, that is if you believe that luck isn't something that comes to the rescue every now and then, you will thread carefully and use only what you can afford to lose.

As for those that are already addicted to gambling, they can either quit or they can adjust how they risk money for gambling, either way, it depends on whether they have made up their minds or not.

You would really be putting yourself on such failure on which its never been that advisable on having that kind of mindset or fixating it for winning moments or times on which you do really heavily believe on such

thing,which we do really know that this isnt how gambling field works but rather it would really be the opposite side of things on which for something like this would really be needing up that kind of treatment
on which you would really be needing to have that realistic approach at least that it should really be done if you are really that finding for leisure and not for income making. Having this kind of
intent and belief to have in mind then you would really be just making yourself that desperate and on this way then this would really be creating that kind of behavior on which it would really be that
normal that eagerness and dedication to play would really be continuing basing up on what you do believe.

There are really just people who do have that strong will and discipline in towards their decision on which it would really be just that normal to have those kind of reactions since who doesnt
really like on winning? Doing this with gambling would be the fastest way but come or bare in mind that it would also do the opposite which is losing that much.

No one can predict the outcome, even you have that wrong mentality, that by chance you can bankrupt the house and the time will come that you will win big jackpot and change your financial lifestyle. We can't remove that fact that there are people who really believes that they can dominate and make the house as cow-cash.

Thinking that gambling is an easy venue to make money, which is only applicable for established casino owners, they can easily take money away from those gambling addicted dreamers who think that they can beat house systems.

Its important to say this: gaming isnt just a game of chance or a casual activity. How you approach it matters a lot. If you think that winning is easy, you're setting yourself up for failure. This way of thinking can only lead to despair, risky games, and possibly addiction. Even though I understand the excitement, its important to keep feelings in check. Gambling should be fun, not an addiction. Take it from someone who has seen both sides: its not worth risking your health. Manage your loses, keep your views in check, and dont forget that its mostly about luck.

well, reading through your post was worrisome. It was as though I hard lower IQ techs, but the boldened part actually caught my fancy... How does superstitions or diabolism play a role as a means to quit gambling??... Sometimes, they'll even go as far as saying it can predict games for sure wins ... This keeps me wondering; I personally don't believe this and I feel it's really unethical.
Quitting any addiction at all is never an easy task... it's not just about gambling.

I concur to your last statement,  that's exactly the way you will feel when you are superstitious about your gambling habit, despite all your loses you might enquire, you will still have a strong deceptive feeling about your gambling and feel that winning is a must which can in turn reck you and make you frustrated.

Not every gambler is superstitious but the superstitious ones always feel that they can beat the house or rather have an upper hand but the truth is that gambling is something no one can actually think ahead of it.

In addition to what you have mentioned above,if the person wants to stop,he needs to stay away from people that still gambles,like his friends or colleagues. If not he might be tempted to gamble again and it wouldn't be of any help to him.

The person should also look for another means to occupy his gambling period so that he wouldn't be bored at that particular time he uses for gambling. When he is engaged,he will hardly have much thought on gambling. On the other hand, if the gambler in question doesn't want to quit gambling and is pretending that he wants to quit,there is no strategy that you will come up with, that will be helpful.
