Topic: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. - page 48. (Read 10336 times)

I don't even know if there's a particular season for win and that for loss when gambling, maybe this has to be game specific or something else, we try out our best while gambling to ensure that the best is given in it for a better result, also we have some sports that are seasonal in nature and then is the period for their peak season where gamblers participate in enjoying them except for the online virtual and crypto gambling games we could always play at any time which were already programmed.

Of course and maybe they need help from other people as well, addiction is under people's consciousness and it kind of takes over their thinking and self, so it's quite difficult and even very difficult to get out of it. As I said earlier above, they need the help of others including their closest colleagues or family to overcome this problem, and besides that, in terms of time, of course, it is quite long to recover because gambling addiction is very strongly related to a person's mind. There must be the role of others here to give some advice to him regarding their more important future and also some of the impacts that can occur if they continue their addiction, and the most important thing is that they also have to really intend in their cessation actions, not just nonsense because they have experienced losses.
And I would add that by looking for new activities or occupations it will also greatly help them to get out of the addiction, because it is true that slowly they will be able to forget about it.

This is to say that winning in sports betting or casino, slot games now have something to do with the season the player is playing in ?, Or is this just based on your findings about your personal discovery of when your good luck is at its highest level ? > If this is it, then you should have done well to say it completely than serving a half baked bread.
Gambling wins or loses have nothing to do with seasons or times on a general level, but individually, I do agree that some gamblers might discover they are more lucky and win when they play in some certain seasons or times, compared to when the play in other seasons and time..

Anyways, I hope I am clear enough about this though.

We all know that to get rid of the habit cannot be taken quickly, it definitely takes a long time to get rid of habits such as gambling addiction and others, addicts must really stop from their heart because that way it will help quickly slowly reduce them, because in a way reducing slowly will really help the habit.

For example, if he often gambles for more than 12 hours per day, then reduce it to 10 hours, reduce 2 hours per week, then reduce it again the next week, so on because with a new habit it will change his addictive behavior, because I have seen my friend as an example he managed to recover from his gambling addiction, as well as I managed to get rid of my smoking addiction by reducing it, I think that method is more effective than suddenly stopping gambling because it will torture myself and at the same time it will not work also for sure the person will play gambling again.

But indeed, in some cases, like the family, they stay away from him (a gambling addict) even though he needs help to recover from the addiction which makes it very difficult to stop gambling, sometimes the addict also doesn't want his family to know he is a gambling addict which makes it very difficult to get outside encouragement.

I agree with you, in other words if a person really wants to get rid of his addiction then there will be an opportunity for him, and he will definitely get healing even though it takes quite a long time because it is difficult to adapt to addiction which has become a character in humans.

If they were having internal problems and ran away to the casino, it would only add to her troubles. Maybe it will only add to the burden on his life because by gambling, he can lose control of himself and it is very difficult to stop because it can make him even more angry or unable to accept it. Those who experience such a situation will only see that what they are doing makes their situation worse and cannot find a solution to overcome the problem.

They should first try to solve their internal problems and not visit casinos and gamble. That won't solve the problem. Maybe it can cheer him up and reduce his emotions because of the previous problem, but if he doesn't have self-control, he can also get another problem: losing money while gambling. There is no guarantee that gambling can solve problems, even to get money.

There is no single person on the surface of the earth that is not addicted to one or more things or habits, this will obviously be for a reason or reasons, but when we are finding excuses and reason(s) for doing it, then it will be a bad idea as it will not help us to take a decisive stand on fighting it. Regardless of the reason for an addiction, once you are doing a thing that is not adding to you, it's better to quit it and help yourself before you let it damage you. Can you imagine someone who has been gambling for the past 7 years and has lost about $100,000 to it and still believes that is the source at which he will make it in life? Such a person is a big fool, and if such an amount had been channelled into better business or asset purchases, it would have been a success.

Now, about the rich people gambling, there is more to this, do not think because they are rich they do not want more money. Technically, the situation is the same with the poor or average people, the only difference is that rich people gamble with more money and might not feel the effect like the poor and average people. This is because they are investing and brokering deals, so they will have enough to fall back at.

Above all, it's still not good if they waste money too much on gambling and they are losing irrespective of their rich status. They could help the poor or donate to improve global health instead of wasting money.

The fact is that in life there are different situations with people who are able to change people very much internally. For example, tragedies, or mistakes that those are no longer able to fix. And such deplorable internal states will stop pushing people to not quite deliberate actions or to a rash lifestyle. And if such a person visits the casino, but will play regardless of the chances or the concept of money management. It is especially difficult for such people to give up the uncontrollable desire to play. Because the root cause lies in themselves, in the events of the past. And gambling is a kind of answer to any problem, because they can bring a lot of money. And money is needed by any person in any condition.

Most of them are just words spoken but not accompanied by concrete actions from those who say they want to stop gambling. Those who want to stop don't have a strong self-will so they will be tempted again by offers from casinos and return to gambling as before. Often our own will is defeated by the urge to return to gambling so that it will affect our minds and say that we can only go back for the last time and after that, we really stop.

But in reality, it won't be what we want because to stop gambling, we need a strong desire to stop gambling, which not many people can do. Quitting gambling is indeed very difficult, especially if we are used to gambling, even if we only gamble occasionally, it will also be difficult to stop gambling. Maybe those who rarely gamble can have a strong desire to stop gambling, especially after they know what impact they get from gambling. But usually, the impact of this gambling will make them return to gambling even though they want to stop it. It is a dilemma that each person must be able to resolve.

I think when we talk about gambling addiction, we need to look at why people keep becoming addicted to Gambling and it's all for different reasons. There are gamblers that are very rich and still addicted to gambling because they keep getting results from it and they have made a lot of money from it.

Those who are addicted to gambling and don't have something to write home about are the worse gamblers. When we keep doing something and we don't get results, the best thing we can do is to leave and look for a way to get a bttyer result or we have to move to other things. Gambling is not meant to be a force or not something that we have need to make result by all means which can lead to excess betting finally becoming an addiction. Addiction with result is better than addiction without any result to show.

I like to play in autumn and winter, but the rest of the time I take a break from playing. My biggest wins were in the winter

I am not sure what "end-stage" gambling addiction is. I supposed you mean someone who has completely lost control of self and yet does not seem to even be aware of the problem, and that is the main issue when comes whether someone can recover or not from gambling addiction (or any kind of addiction), the person is supposed to know or realize at some point that they have a serious problem.

Still, I think that does not matter how bad an addiction is, there is a good chance to come back from it with the proper support. If there is people who could recover from addiction to opioids, then gambling addiction can be approached.

I agree with you that only an addict can help himself out of the addiction and that he needs external help to achieve that this is why we most times have to be guided in our approach when we come across gambling addicts because I have seen a situation where someone was publicly embarrassing his fellow simply because he can come out of his gambling addictions.

But hard it has been he is given the necessary help from family and friends,  he will be better off and he should have been able to come out of his addictions.

Why is it so complicated to define a gambling addict, we can interpret it easily that he really can't control himself to gamble, regardless of anything related to him, it can be concluded that he really can't control himself.
We don't know who and at what level of addiction we are talking about, this will make the conversation not reach the meeting point conveyed by one party.

Let's say the person we are talking about is someone who has an end-stage addiction or the highest level addict of gambling, of course this cannot be changed by oneself, he needs outsiders like rehabilitation, but if his addiction is still moderate, it you can still try to get rid of addiction, on the grounds that the person wants to stop gambling.

Yes, whether a person can quit gambling depends entirely on himself. Because gambling addicts don't really care about their own lives. And they have no future plans.  They always like to gamble. And they think that they will win huge amounts from gambling and become rich with them. In order to quit gambling, a gambling addict must first familiarize himself with the negative aspects of gambling and face reality.  In that case he can guess how much pride gambling is for him. And in that case he may desire to quit gambling

Gambling addiction is literally an uncontrolled urge to gamble.  So there is no question whether a gambling addict can control himself or not, it is simply he cannot control the urge when it hits him.  So we should not expect anything that a gambling addict can control his gambling activities nor can gambling responsibly.  Quitting gambling for an addicted player is very hard since he is chained to gambling activities.  The only way for gambling addicts to quit gambling is to get cured first and be rehabilitated.  This way he can be treated and at the same time avoid relapses.

If the player is not addicted, he can easily decide to stop his gambling activities because he has control over his session. 

You said it right, no one can beat that self-will if you are really willing to submit yourself and quit away from gambling, but most of the time it's more on a word to say and no action that is being taken, more on they wanted to stop but there are always conditions behind, in order to quit yourself you also need to bring that desire to really push yourself to your limits.

Not just a word to say, but the action that will bring people behind you to back you up with your intention to quit. With the help of your relative and friends, quitting will be more easy to acquire.

Letting the addict spend all his money gambling can be very dangerous because he'll be in need of money to continue gambling which could make the addict sell some of his properties or take money from savings that he isn't supposed to touch like savings for education.

It's better to stop an addict early then to wait for the matter to become extremely worse before you do something. Addicts starts stealing to gamble when they run out of funds and that'll put them into more trouble because stealing also has it addiction as it's free money.

Quiting gambling is hard but when you have the support of your family members and love ones then the addict sees how concerned they're towards him, it can help him decide to want to quit gambling and with the help of a professional therapist he can quit gambling gradually.

In your view, it shows that you don't know the true meaning of addiction, it doesn't necessarily mean that the thing you are addicted to is bad for you, once you find yourself doing it over and over again irrespective of whether you gain from it or love doing it, then you are addicted to that thing. This means that there are positive and negative addictions, it's the positive one you don't know, people often neglect it because it in most cases doesn't affect them in any way, while some positive addictions kill silently, which is why we have to be careful with both addictions.

Precisely on the positive gambling addiction, so far it's a winning affair for anyone, there is nothing bad about it. Keep doing what you do best but you still do not let it affect your other life which is where its own ugliness could strike even when you are winning.

Usually, people who are addicted, whether it's gambling or games, will not want to admit that they are indeed addicted to gambling. Someone else must tell him that he has a gambling addiction and needs to get over it urgently or he will regret it himself. But since the addiction had taken over his mind and he had nothing else to think or do, he would continue playing as long as he had the money. And even if he didn't have any money, he would probably borrow money from someone else and if that happened, he might end up in trouble he couldn't even imagine.

And when the gambling addict can't pay off the money he borrowed, he might end his life because it's the easiest way he can do to avoid being billed by the person he borrowed. I agree that a person who gambles, whether he is a gambling addict or a non-gambling addict, will be able to stop gambling if he has the will to stop gambling. The desire came from him, and after seeing what was going on in his life, he finally decided to stop gambling.
