A person who is addicted to gambling may not be able to think easily to get rid of his lust. I think the only way maybe with hypnosis or rehabilitation or maybe the family has to take action to force the person away from the environment where he was exposed to gambling.
After removing a person from the initial environment he knows gambling then his family provides support by making someone do other activities that he likes.

Some people can also easily stop their addiction by themselves, but that's only if they are made to realise how bad their lives have become because of their addiction habit. Some people don't even realise that their gambling addiction is so bad. To me, it seems some people lose their sense of reasoning properly, and they don't even care how much they lose; they don't care about adding value to their lives; they just totally lost everything. So first of all, they just need to be made to realise themselves, and they can gradually stop. Some people make it more difficult for themselves in the sense that they can't even listen to anyone cautioning them, and as such, they can't even get help from their loved ones.

When you are addicted to gambling you will not feel it. Because then gambling will seem like a good thing to you and you will feel normal for everything. Gambling is not bad or harmful until it becomes addictive. But when it turns into addiction, it is very harmful for him. And then Quit gambling becomes very difficult for him. So before he gets addicted to gambling, he has to control himself from it, then it will be much easier for him to quit gambling.

It is true what you say because when we are already experiencing gambling addiction, we will not feel that we are addicted to gambling. We will take it for granted and gambling is an activity that we already consider a routine activity like working or doing something else. But to stop gambling is not as easy as we think because it requires a lot of things, including building a new habit where this is the most difficult thing. The difficulty we will face may be laziness which will make us not want to do new things, which is a good thing to start preventing gambling addiction.

It's scary how right you are. Many people, like those deep in gambling, often don't realize they're stuck until it's too late. The thrill and highs of the game cloud our ability to see the damage. And quitting? It's so much more than just "stop placing bets." It's changing a way of life. Like trying to break a daily coffee habit, but ten times tougher. Your mention of laziness hits hard. That initial resistance to change, that comfort in the old ways, is a trap. But remember, starting a new habit can save a life. We all need to wake up and see gambling for what it truly is: a risk

Gambling is not a risk, how we the gamblers go about our gambling activities is what turns it to either being risk or not, casinos themselves describe gambling as a way to just have fun, its just like going to the bar and grabbing a cold bottle of your favorite beer or what ever drink, and paying for it, or going to a game center, and paying to be given a space to play your favorite game on the game machine, this two scenarios I've mentioned are just some ways people spend their money just to have fun, now gambling is one of those ways we spend our money to have fun, but what makes gambling quite different is for the fact that you are given a chance to earn that money, plus more back if you are lucky, and this feature of gambling have drove many people into abusing gambling, that is gambling with a mindset that is completely different from the main purpose of gambling , and for this set of people, gambling becomes risky because as losing money counts for something for them.

But on a normal level, gambling is not supposed to be considered a risk as it could been as paying for a service, gambling and expecting money in return is how gambling becomes risky.

Quitting gambling is easy only when it is not become addiction. The best form of self-discipline is when you understand that you are gambling more often than you used to before, you will have to devise a means to give less attention to gambling at that very time. It is very easy to control your habit. But when you refused to reduce the attention, you give to gambling it passes that stage and enters into the stage of addiction. It will be very difficult for you to quit gambling and it will be like starting a new way of life according to what you said above. So the best thing to do is when you discover that yourelf or your friend is gambling more often than normal you caution yourself or your friend as the case may be.

Yeah, once you are addicted your time will be eaten by such activities, more on thinking about how you will play the game and what are the strategy that you will be using to beat the house or to make some money from gambling, you use all the efforts and time just to make things to happen and there's nothing that bother you since you think that you are doing things the right way.

Not easy if your engagement is already deep, though it's still doable if the person have the will to overcome the concern and start
to change direction and find alternative activites to forget about gambling.

The difficulty we will face may be laziness which will make us not want to do new things, which is a good thing to start preventing gambling addiction.

Same as what I mentioned, that self-will helps in turning your attentions to other things that will allow you lessen or prevent gambling.

The best possible approach is to avoid getting into addictions because the aftermath of it is always devastating because it becomes almost impossible to quiet just like every other form of addiction where you have to go out of your way just to satisfy the urge.

So it is better to avoid such situations and never test them at all because it is very fast to become an addict, but so hard to pull out of it when you already slid into addiction.

Exactly, that addiction can happen in a quick process you never anticipate that you will be getting attached that deep after you win or lose a decent amount of money, either way that kind of lust will push you to keep on betting or keep on playing, you lose your control once you allow your emotions to dominate.

Like what you mentioned better not to start or not to step into it to avoid any deeper engagements, it will keep you safe from any form of addiction, it will save you both from mental and physical issues as addiction is a big problem to solve.

To quit gambling addiction is not easy to do or achieve in general view, but if the addicted gambler think it's something easy for him to achieve and do then it will conveniently take place without any stress in finding a means to stop addiction, in most of the cases of addiction, it is we the third party trying to introduce a means to curb addiction on gamblers and not the gamblers on their own will are trying to quit, so it may be very difficult for us to achieve this except the gamblers involved make a move by themselves towards stopping, then we support them towards the achievement if such.

For the level of severe gambling addiction, it is indeed not easy to get rid of this addiction because this person can no longer control his lust.
A person who is addicted to gambling may not be able to think easily to get rid of his lust. I think the only way maybe with hypnosis or rehabilitation or maybe the family has to take action to force the person away from the environment where he was exposed to gambling.

Perhaps we should be talking about reducing or controlling gambling rather than quitting which seems far too radical for something that be treated with "aspirin" rather than "cutting the leg". Any method that allows you to reduce your gambling to acceptable levels will also have other benefits in life as it increases the self control and can be applied to other things.

This all goes down to having control. As long as a person have control on how they will engage in gambling activity, they can be called gambler but not gambling addicts. I do agree that having control over oneself in gambling will avoid us in lots of troubles. Moderating our gambling activities will save us lots of troubles in the future.

The simple answer is YES it's easy if you're just doing it for fun and entertainment,

I have different opinion here. It’s very hard to quit on gambling if you are using it for fun and entertainment because it means that you are getting positive outcome in there with profit or personal satisfaction. It’s very hard to quit on something that you are enjoying already. The only time it’s very easy to quit on gambling is when you are already bored and scared at the same time because that’s not for fun purposes already.

If one is experiencing a hard time quitting gambling, regardless of the benefits it brings, there is a huge possibility of a gambler getting too hooked and the possibility of gambling addiction is high. A person in control will never find it hard to stop, moderate, or quit his activities. Those who are not in control are the one getting the hard time.

To quit gambling addiction is not easy to do or achieve in general view, but if the addicted gambler think it's something easy for him to achieve and do then it will conveniently take place without any stress in finding a means to stop addiction, in most of the cases of addiction, it is we the third party trying to introduce a means to curb addiction on gamblers and not the gamblers on their own will are trying to quit, so it may be very difficult for us to achieve this except the gamblers involved make a move by themselves towards stopping, then we support them towards the achievement if such.

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.

So many people seem to come up with half hearted attempts at quitting, that involve restricting playing time or putting a certain budget on it. The reality is, like with most addictions, you have lost control over at least this single aspect of your life. The only way, or at least the most efficient way, for most people to regain that control is to abstain from the activity altogether. There are no half measures, if you want to quit then you need to identify the triggers that lead you to playing and actively work to avoid them - the first few weeks will be toughest, but then it gets easier.

That's very true, a gambler should give up on the activity of gambling altogether rather than reducing the playing time or limiting the budget to spend on gambling activates. A simple way to stop gambling activity is to give time to your loved ones and friends, as it has been known that the ones who spend time with their loved ones and friends are less likely to give much time to an addiction.

Another important step we can take is to incorporate hard-working productive habits that require our time and one of such activity could be writing or programming as they are known to be very helpful to grab our focus entirely and during writing session or programming session one can be so focused that they can't give much time to other activates.

When you say half heartrd attempt, you means those who haven't made up their mind 100% to quite gambling or what?

If the above is what you mean, then you are very correct, because a lot of times, when gambling addicts complained that they are unable to quite after several failed attempts, if you look closely you will discovered that dip down they are not really ready to quit gambling and what their trying to do is to take a break from gambling which is different from quitting gambling in its totality.

Sometimes everyone depends on how they use their money to be used, and the bad habits experienced by someone with gambling are very difficult to stop, especially if they are from a group of rich people, even they can spend their money just for gambling, the same like playing women have similarities in controlling lust and addicts, only their money can stop their addiction in terms of gambling, in my opinion it's like that...

Well, For rich, I believe money can't stop their addiction. Because if they're running out of funds, there are other resources where they can get money. Therefore I don't see it as a reason for these rich people to stop what they used to. What I can think of for someone to decide to stop is when he experienced the worst, e.g losing your family, debt, putting life at risk (health and mental problem) etc.

Sometimes if you didn't experience yet to be in the lowest point of your life due to gambling. You will not stop until you experienced the one that can make you change your mind to completely stop your gambling addiction.

The game can be very good, for some it is lucrative, but for others it is destructive. When I read your post, I imagined that situation where a person has to lose their entire family due to this problem of the game, and that is something that is not very good On a personal level, people are very easy to manipulate, I think I'm going to start losing my people, my friends, the people who help me, I stop playing because the priorities and the most important thing are the hierarchies of that is what matters to us, and you want them to be with us, an addiction cannot be above our life, that is what a person in addiction should do and think, I am very extreme that everything is lost because of the casino That doesn't fit in my head, but I know what happens to some players, they lose their way.

We all know that quitting in gambling is not an easy things for the addict gambler, that's one thing I knew 100%. But if you area newbie and very seldom to gamble, well I guess it wouldn't be hard for them to quit.

However, this habit became a routine in the lives of an addict gambler that's a big problem, this need a long process to get rid of it and need a family and friends guidance.

It's not easy to stop gambling, but it depends on our desire to stop. Especially if we have seen what impact we have gotten from gambling, and one day, we will realize that we have a bad gambling addiction and want to cure it. But we might find it hard to do it alone so we need help from others. So how difficult or easy it is depends on us as gambling addicts and if we don't look at our gambling addiction, maybe we also won't have thoughts of recovering from gambling addiction and will continue to play gambling.

When you are addicted to gambling you will not feel it. Because then gambling will seem like a good thing to you and you will feel normal for everything. Gambling is not bad or harmful until it becomes addictive. But when it turns into addiction, it is very harmful for him. And then Quit gambling becomes very difficult for him. So before he gets addicted to gambling, he has to control himself from it, then it will be much easier for him to quit gambling.

However, this habit became a routine in the lives of an addict gambler that's a big problem, this need a long process to get rid of it and need a family and friends guidance.

It all depends on his intention, not only support from friends or family, let alone a professional, if he doesn't intend to stop, it will be difficult, because addicts cannot be stopped by anyone unless it comes from himself, that's what I know and I saw from my friends , he was able to get out of his addiction because he wanted to stop gambling and wanted to return his family back to being whole.

It's not easy, it all needs to be processed, but it won't take long if the desire to stop gambling addiction comes from himself, if we meet an addict, whatever advice we give won't enter his mind and be heard because he has thoughts for himself and pleasure himself, so I prefer to let the addict learn to process his own addiction control and start to stop, unless the addict has a lot of debt of course he needs the support of family and friends because in most cases many people commit suicide because there are a lot of debts from their gambling addiction.

To reduce the complexity of addiction to just intention is absurdly simplistic. Do you honestly think that all gamblers only enjoy themselves when playing the game? Knowing the complex dynamics and techniques involved in gambling, I can assure you that it's not only about hedonistic enjoyment. It's about strategy, play, and occasionally about living in a harsh economic environment.

Where is your study on how contemporary economic arrangements encourage people to engage in high-risk activities like gambling in relation to your claim regarding economic conditions? Your viewpoint is shallow and one-dimensional. Consider researching current economic developments and how they relate to gaming before making such sweeping statements.

We all know that quitting in gambling is not an easy things for the addict gambler, that's one thing I knew 100%. But if you area newbie and very seldom to gamble, well I guess it wouldn't be hard for them to quit.

However, this habit became a routine in the lives of an addict gambler that's a big problem, this need a long process to get rid of it and need a family and friends guidance.

I think that's the main problem in any addiction, once the habits manifest into a routine it's really hard to change it again on your own. Almost anybody has tried in his life to lose weight, stop smoking or drinking, or to exercise more. Already changing such minor things is very hard, breaking free from a gambling addiction will be much harder. The main issue here is that staying in your normal routine of sleeping at home, going to work and watching TV in the evening will you remind of your habit. Wherever you look you will associations with gambling and it becomes hard to stay away. That's why it's so important to try and get a change of scenery, living temporarily somewhere else can help a lot in changing routines.
