I agree with you that in old age most of the time one has to depend on one's children so wasting their money on gambling is bad. Here it is very difficult to recover losses because gambling depends on luck therefore, stop gambling and prepare yourself to try to understand the various harmful aspects of gambling addiction. Addicts often don't want to think about it or don't remember it. Instead of this habit, you have to prepare yourself by analyzing the symptoms or the reasons behind the harmful effects. At least I have to come to the conclusion that I want to quit gambling only then old age will be beautiful.
If you want to stop gambling, you must have a strong intention to do so because stopping gambling is not easy. Many people fail to do so because the temptation of gambling is very strong and gambling will always provide attractive advertisements that can make us come back.

But if you have seen what happens to you when you play gambling and already experience many losses, maybe stopping gambling is the best for you. Stopping gambling will prevent you from losing more money while you can save the money to prepare for the future for you and your family. And do it immediately before you become a gambling addict because if you are already addicted to gambling, it will be even more difficult to cure gambling addiction.
Apart from a strong determination to completely leave gambling, we also need to distance ourselves from the gambling environment. Most people who are interested in getting into gambling are very much influenced by their surroundings, so it is better if we decide to stop playing gambling to immediately avoid and get out of that environment. If not then your determination will falter and return you to gambling.

In that sense you have to isolate yourself from the environment around you until you are able to control yourself and have a strong and unshakable determination to return to gambling.
Well, I have to agree with you, you are very correct, at least, from my personal experience, I can really tell that environment in gambling really matters, I remember when I began my gambling journey, I gambled for a while and then stopped due to lack of winnings, I started gambling occasionally, that is from time to time, until I joined this forum, and start promoting gambling casinos and participating in gambling discussions, that was how I started gambling almost regularly again.

So for anyone looking or wanting to stop gambling for what ever reason, he or she must try and change his or her environment if the environment has so many thing to do wit gambling, but then another question is, if the person manages to change environment, how about adverts?, that is google ads, we all know that casino ads can just pop up from any site when we least expect it, if this can act as a trigger for who ever wants to quit gambling, how does the person deal with such?.
If you are really that willing or serious on quitting then you should really be that responsible or mindful on avoiding things which are really that correlated to gambling because if you do engaged yourself again or being exposed then likely you would really be coming back and play once again. Quitting gambling is never been that easy specially on the time that you do make yourself get hooked or caught by addiction.If you arent really that good on handling your finances and really that going all in with gambling then you are really that putting yourself at great trouble and this is something that you should really be avoiding on the first place.
Dont make yourself get engage on something that you cant handle specially on gambling which it does pertain about spending money and if you are a type of person on whose really that impulsive then you would really be finding yourself on great trouble once that your finances had been greatly affected. This is why we should really be careful because gambling addiction isnt something that could easily be geting rid with if you
arent that good on control your mind and having that kind of impulsive reactions then this would really be a great or big challenge.

Just like the environment one stays in plays a major role into being a gambling addict or not, another key factor that contribute into people being a gambling addict is the company they keep, and lack of jobs, because due to the high rate of unemployment & poverty in most places,  people have now dive into gambling for the purpose of easy cash out, since it offers the ability to predict and win, they continue giving it a try hoping to someday win a life changing money. Which in most cases, never comes.

Quitting gambling for the average gambler is incredibly easy, as this is just another form of entertainment for us, however for the one that has developed some sort of dependency towards it, this can be one if not the most difficult thing that they are going to do during their lives, so it is important that people do what they can to never get to that stage, as due to many different factors, leaving a gambling addiction behind is getting more challenging by the day.

Environmental factors indeed contribute a lot to one gambling habit and how effective gambling withdrawal can prove positive results,  I use to be heavily involved in some character and habits before and when I discovered that those characteristic where part of the environment I decided to change my location but that is after I already made every personal arrangement to disengage from such habits.

Gambling this days doesn't necessary mean environmental engagement since we can gamble online using our cellphones or computer devices in other to make a drawback from gambling in this situation,  it has to be a personal decision regardless of the environment,  your mindset is what first makes the decision and even though environmental factors can play a role it has to first start from the individual.

This is why I conclude by saying that anyone who wants to gamble should first define the reason they want to do so, and they should go further by knowing the danger of gambling as an adult in order to guide against it. This doesn't stop anyone from still gambling but getting prepared for the unexpected. It's never wise to down-talk something that has a track record of plaguing many.
Yes, because it's important to know the reasons people gamble because as far as I can see, almost the average person gambles because they want to get money and get rich quickly, but they don't understand the risks that gambling can make people addicted and fall into poverty, because they don't think that far. they have to do the odd chase after the loss and become addicted.

While we know that gambling has risks when you lose money, at least don't expect the money to come back because when you want to chase it, at that time your emotions will be out of control and it will be difficult to control it, especially if you become an addict, it will be very difficult to cure it, let alone stop gambling, always use the mindset and the purpose of gambling for fun is the right thing to do instead of just making money.
Many times people bet as if to try to see what it is about, and how is their luck, it is not something that begins to be seen as a prize money, if the person wins, they are encouraged, motivated and incentivized so that Keep doing it, until you know defeat, it means you won't have full maturity, because when you lose money it's like you have to see what the person's reaction is, if it's for better or worse, there are people who, when they experience defeat they leave the game and any type of bet, they leave disappointed, others don't, others what they do is keep looking for good luck because they liked winning, that depends on how the person is and how they react , it is difficult to determine and say what Something works the same for everyone.

And with that kind of mindset you will be able to quit or stop as soon as possible, if you treat gambling as a source of entertainment alone, you will not acquire the kind of addiction that will lead you to continue losing more money, in the note of easy or hard to quit, always going to depend on how the person treats gambling, if it's for entertainment and the person is not that attach yet, we can say that it can be easy to quit, but if there's already and addiction or attachment, it's tough to find ways to quit that easy.

You will always find ways to continue playing as the desire inside you always wants to play and nothing else inside your mindsets. Everything is about gambling alone.

I don`t see the problem if the gambler get profit from the gambling. Of course it depends on lots of moment like how much money he get, how much time he spend, etc. And in your example i think that this woman knows about her father`s problem but send him money anyway. It is only her mistake. And her father has more money for gambling and can continue waiting big win. He must lose the opportunity for gambling, only after it he can think about his deeds.
I think the lady believed her father. Maybe the lady never imagined that her father would become so addicted to gambling. I will never say gambling is bad but I will not support using other people's money or any necessary money to gamble. If the woman knew her father was an addicted gambler, she would never give him the money. When a gambler loses more money in gambling he tries to recover that money whether he is addicted or not. If luck favor then many can recover the money but most of the time it is difficult to recover the loss at that moment.
I agree and disagree the same time. It is awful to use someone`s money for gambling - the first rule is plan how much money you ready to lose when you start gambling. And the second rule is don`t try to recover money.
No luck, no "last try" - just stop when you lose planned sum. If it is a problem - leave all other money at home. And of course - nobody must give some more money this man.
I think it should be like this.
First rule - gamble your own money and bet only the amount of money you afford to lose. The father spends the money that was sent to him which basically not his own money, therefore, he seems like he doesn't care what will happen to the money.
Second rule - don't chase big winnings, this will only lead to making more losses than making money.

And if ever that you feel you're not winning in gambling, it's better to stop. Maybe gambling is not really for you

I am sure that the woman did not know that the money sent to her father was used for gambling, if she found out then she would be very disappointed and maybe she would not send anymore money or limit the money to be sent to her parents, the father should have been self conscious not to use that money in gambling activities because his father is very dependent on the economic needs of his son's income, it is better for the old man to stop gambling without his own income and the best solution is to enjoy old age without gambling addiction.

Update 1
Boys. You can't imagine how relax I am when decide to quit gamble. Here is the way. I will stream all my gambling behavior with recording. No stream No gamble. If you are going through the same situation, join me. You will obtain a new life.

Gambling is not always that easy to quit, most especially when it has turn into a habit, but it can be controlled when it hasn't gotten to that extent which is the reason why we always tell people to be careful and gamble with the amount of money they can always afford to lose, so as not to go bankrupt and end up living a miserable life, all because you gave gave your all hope to gambling, and it never worked the way you thought.
Yes, to stop gambling you need a process and it takes time to get rid of it because the habit also makes the severity different. If he is an addict who only gambles on weekends, it will be easier for him to stop gambling and it will not take long either if there is a gambling addict who plays gambling every time it is clearly difficult, the best thing to do is reduce it slowly.

But it all comes back to his own intention, because it is also difficult to stop but in his heart he has no desire to stop gambling, reducing and learning to control is a basic lesson to be able to stop it all slowly, because I know that see my friend who is an addict it took a long time for him to really completely stop gambling. it is not as easy as imagined but with the intention it will be faster.


Like you I think the most important thing for people to do when they are trying to quit gambling is to break your daily habits and focus on other things. Especially when we are used to gamble at a fixed time, like every evening after dinner. Then you need another occupation for that time to get your mind of gambling. Humans love their daily routines and once a habit is formed it becomes really hard to break it again. Like with anything in life that we got used to and enjoy, a change is not going to happen overnight. There will always be setbacks and we shouldn't be discouraged by them. Change takes dedication and effort over time. It's important that the gambling addict realises his problem and actually wants to change, because it will lead to nowhere if there is not a strong will to change the current situation. Even with the best help in the world it won't change much if people don't realise that they are in trouble and need help to get out of it. For someone struggling with severe gambling addiction it would also be helpful to try to visit an institution that is specialised for it.


Breaking bad habits has its benefits, but let's be clear: not all gambling is as nasty as you make it out to be. What if someone gets pleasure from making a harmless bet every night? You cast it in such a dire light!

It's true that humans are creatures of habit. But it's just naive to compare any kind of gambling to an addiction. What do you know? I agree that change is difficult. But to say that any individual who wagers once in a while ought to register with a facility? That is rather dramatic.

Recall that not everyone views leisure and enjoyment in the same ways. Your definition of "healthy" does not apply to everyone. While some people require assistance, many others just enjoy gambling sensibly and don't see any problems. It is best to take that perspective into account before using such a large brush.
Just like them, I agree with some of your points but not all, they have their valid points for one to be careful with gambling issues even from the beginning. If such could get help especially when he/she knows that they have a weak mind is never a bad idea. What I notice here is that you down-talk the danger of gambling addiction which should not be. Some started it with the view of entertainment to kill boredom but they were engrossed in it and it became difficult for them to control.

This is why I conclude by saying that anyone who wants to gamble should first define the reason they want to do so, and they should go further by knowing the danger of gambling as an adult in order to guide against it. This doesn't stop anyone from still gambling but getting prepared for the unexpected. It's never wise to down-talk something that has a track record of plaguing many.

Boys. It is time to quit gamble. I created a topic about taking gambling as a major income or not and fought a lot of kind people who held an opposite point. I own them a truly apology. I am sorry. No matter who you are, gambling is only for fun. Never take it as income at anytime. If you are still gambling, you should quit now. If you cannot quit by yourself, there are so many channels to help you. Even you can talk to me. I will do my best to help you.

Just some chemical reaction happened in my mind today, I get the point at that moment. Gambling for income is totally wrong and toxic for spirit and body. You will never be successful in that way. But I like gamble is still the fact and it will never change if doing nothing. So, why not open a stream and show it to all people who have interest on that. Let me prove how hard or easy to quit gamble. I will only gamble the affordable fund only. Maybe less. I am streaming 24/7. If some software problems disrupt, I will fix that except sleeping time.

Everyone handles quitting their addiction differently, but in the end people often reach a final moment of enlightenment, like you seem to have achieved, where they finally decide that enough is enough. This can be the main problem with trying to get people to quit involuntarily, unless they've reached the point where they no longer receive any joy from the addiction, then they will continue to find new ways to do it. However if you reach that point and start to formulate a plan for quitting, which will involve staying away from it entirely and possibly forever, then you can start to feel a moment of peace that you're regaining control. It does require active concentration and being on guard against falling back into it though, with the first few weeks being the toughest to get through.

I also think a lot about what you have said and that is that the players who are very frequent in a casino build the habit and that is difficult to quit when it should be quit, either because serious damage is being done and it is affecting life our day, in this case an escape plan has to be made quickly without leaving consequences, hopefully when we all have a habit we say, "I'll quit today" and that's it, nothing else happens, but it's not that easy, because we are more than customs and that is the difficult thing, sometimes a process of stopping doing something is very difficult for us and it is normal, when you go to a psychologist it is a good option, but what you really have to do is have the will to leave it to to make things easier, if there is no will, even if you have the best of psychologists, psychiatrists, you will not get better.

As for me it would be nice to make a pause in the game and spend some time for analyze - how much time you spend for gambling per week/month, how much money you lose, how many time you spend with your friends and family, etc.
After it the gambler can understand if the gambling a problem for him or not.

Don't you know that some compulsive gamblers lose some sense of reasoning and cannot even think the way you have described? All their concerns are just how to gamble, have fun, and earn money from it. My friend's girlfriend was telling me stuff about her dad some days ago; she said her dad is a Gambling addict and that she sent some money to him for him to buy her a plot of land, and the man assured her that he had already bought the plot of land. While he was lying, instead he used the money to gamble, and he lost the money. That was really a huge amount of money, but this man gambled it off. I was just surprised at how some dads have even lost their dignity and self-respect for their daughter to just waste some money that is not even their own.
I don`t see the problem if the gambler get profit from the gambling. Of course it depends on lots of moment like how much money he get, how much time he spend, etc. And in your example i think that this woman knows about her father`s problem but send him money anyway. It is only her mistake. And her father has more money for gambling and can continue waiting big win. He must lose the opportunity for gambling, only after it he can think about his deeds.
I think the lady believed her father. Maybe the lady never imagined that her father would become so addicted to gambling. I will never say gambling is bad but I will not support using other people's money or any necessary money to gamble. If the woman knew her father was an addicted gambler, she would never give him the money. When a gambler loses more money in gambling he tries to recover that money whether he is addicted or not. If luck favor then many can recover the money but most of the time it is difficult to recover the loss at that moment.

Update 1
Boys. You can't imagine how relax I am when decide to quit gamble. Here is the way. I will stream all my gambling behavior with recording. No stream No gamble. If you are going through the same situation, join me. You will obtain a new life.

Gambling is not always that easy to quit, most especially when it has turn into a habit, but it can be controlled when it hasn't gotten to that extent which is the reason why we always tell people to be careful and gamble with the amount of money they can always afford to lose, so as not to go bankrupt and end up living a miserable life, all because you gave gave your all hope to gambling, and it never worked the way you thought.
Yes, to stop gambling you need a process and it takes time to get rid of it because the habit also makes the severity different. If he is an addict who only gambles on weekends, it will be easier for him to stop gambling and it will not take long either if there is a gambling addict who plays gambling every time it is clearly difficult, the best thing to do is reduce it slowly.

But it all comes back to his own intention, because it is also difficult to stop but in his heart he has no desire to stop gambling, reducing and learning to control is a basic lesson to be able to stop it all slowly, because I know that see my friend who is an addict it took a long time for him to really completely stop gambling. it is not as easy as imagined but with the intention it will be faster.


Like you I think the most important thing for people to do when they are trying to quit gambling is to break your daily habits and focus on other things. Especially when we are used to gamble at a fixed time, like every evening after dinner. Then you need another occupation for that time to get your mind of gambling. Humans love their daily routines and once a habit is formed it becomes really hard to break it again. Like with anything in life that we got used to and enjoy, a change is not going to happen overnight. There will always be setbacks and we shouldn't be discouraged by them. Change takes dedication and effort over time. It's important that the gambling addict realises his problem and actually wants to change, because it will lead to nowhere if there is not a strong will to change the current situation. Even with the best help in the world it won't change much if people don't realise that they are in trouble and need help to get out of it. For someone struggling with severe gambling addiction it would also be helpful to try to visit an institution that is specialised for it.


Breaking bad habits has its benefits, but let's be clear: not all gambling is as nasty as you make it out to be. What if someone gets pleasure from making a harmless bet every night? You cast it in such a dire light!

It's true that humans are creatures of habit. But it's just naive to compare any kind of gambling to an addiction. What do you know? I agree that change is difficult. But to say that any individual who wagers once in a while ought to register with a facility? That is rather dramatic.

Recall that not everyone views leisure and enjoyment in the same ways. Your definition of "healthy" does not apply to everyone. While some people require assistance, many others just enjoy gambling sensibly and don't see any problems. It is best to take that perspective into account before using such a large brush.

Just because someone gambles occasionally doesn't mean they can't change that and they can start to gamble more and more often, even when they have important things to do, family, work, etc. If you can control yourself, set boundaries and most of all  hold her, then it's okay.  On topic - if you can't stop gambling then you have a big problem - of course you can lie to yourself that you don't, but the truth is that in this situation it's really hard to stop gambling and it's best to ask others for help, first of all  go to therapy and slowly return to a normal life, but no longer gambling.
So the most important thing is that we have self-control and set limits in gambling because that can prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling. As long as we can take care of it and still have it, we don't have to worry about any problems and can enjoy gambling as we should. But we also have to be open to other people when we have problems with gambling, for example, if we find it a bit difficult to stop gambling, we can ask for help from other people so they can find a way for us. I think people can do it but have to have a strong desire to cure gambling addiction and return to normal life.
