The main idea is to be really interested in the new hobby. I don`t sure that if someone will offer any hobby it would be interesting for the gambler. He must try until he really like it. In all other situations the gambler will feel that he lies himself. I don`t sure that it will take a lot of time, but anyway if he has such a problem - it would be difficult.
Maybe it's true if we have to find a new hobby like you said, then this will be very useful for those who are already addicted to gambling, but in the process they are carrying out their new hobby of course there must be support from the people closest to them this will be more good for those who are struggling with their bad habits. After they have no desire to gamble anymore, it is better for them to avoid all games that bring them closer to their bad habits that they have left behind.

In my opinion, the difficulty of getting out of the state when the player is constantly haunted by the idea that it is worth playing more and more and maybe even win back what was lost, and even better to win a lot and be finally satisfied, is very, very big. The same advice is given when someone decides to stop smoking. And it is good advice. The only thing i want to mark - the gambler mustn`t begin doing something when he is thinking about gambling. The best way is to find a new hobby and be really interested in it. And of course his friends and family must help him. If someone has problems with gambling - often he can`t stop without help.
I agree with finding new hobbies unrelated to gambling or saying no money in those hobbies. And I think there are a lot of things we can do that don't use money and we just have to find them. Once we find it and like it, we will continue and slowly, we will not think about gambling so we can start gambling less and even leave gambling. We can ask friends and family to help us find new hobbies so they can also get involved in helping us.Simply for the reason that regardless of our current thoughts, this thought itself and often comes to mind and haunts the player. Indeed, if a player is a rather smart person, then he understands perfectly well that any new hobby or hobby that other people offer him is done precisely in order to distract him from gambling. And this immediately reduces the effectiveness of such attempts to distract him. Here, according to my prescription, there can only be healing over a rather long period of time. The longer the player does not play, the less thoughts about the game visit his head and it becomes easier to resist.
And of course, it’s great if, after all, a new hobby, not as destructive as a painful passion for gambling at the level of gambling addiction, replaces his thoughts and directs his actions towards creating something new and interesting for him.

Like many addictions out there which are not substance based, gambling is much more about the habits formed and somewhat about the endorphin kick that is triggered from winning free money. Like a drug junkie chasing their next high, or to try to get higher than ever before, a gambler is constantly seeking that happiness buzz they get from winning. Casino's build a whole psychology around it, with all the little triggers and prompts when you're playing that reinforce this behaviour so you deposit more.
Gamblers, don't you think they desire to succeed? The overall "happiness buzz" is genuine. But it's also a large, noisy, shiny trap. But is it really only a matter of winning and losing? Or is there something more, something additional? Perhaps the appeal of the game itself, rather than the money, is what draws people in? Possibly not, though
The game is one of the things that we can reset at any time, stop playing suddenly, can't we? I say not to stop these things Suddenly , because obviously they are the possible addictions that a player has, in the case of doing something to be able to help in not playing anymore , it would be to get treatment with a psychologist, or be in contact with a group of friends where they invent it to do field work or going out to travel, keeping your mind occupied with things that are not related to playing in a casino , but locking yourself in a house, receiving advice from a psychologist is not the way out at all , that is time, it is not at Once to overcome.
So as much as hanging around friends can help keep ones mind occupied to not consider gambling when the person is trying to quit, having a psychologist around just incase, isnt such a bad idea after all.
If heavy addiction already inside I guess seeking for professional help is badly needed, together with your self-will and the presence of your love ones who are willing to help you in order to quit away, there's always solution if the gambler itself is the one who wanted to solve the problem, but if you are not willing or if the gambler is not willing and continue to think that they are doing it simply for fun, that's another thing that needed to address, it's tough to quit but it doesn't imply that it's impossible to do it.
You can with your self-will and that idea of keeping yourself busy is also a good way if not the best way that can help you to keep yourself busy and to lessen up to avoid in thinking any form of gambling you know.

Those who are not bound to gambling because of addiction can always stop anytime they wanted but of course they can always go back as they pleases. Gambling is just an activity to have fun, we don't have any responsibility or obligation to have a continuous engagement with any gambling platform unless we wanted to have fun using their services.
We should not take gambling as a regular means of entertainment since we will find ourselves hooked on it one day. We should diversify our mode of getting entertainment, this way we can be protecting ourselves from possible addiction or excessive engagement.

I think it can be both the appealing characteristics of the game, mixed with the tiny posibility of earning money out of it.
If the game is well designed and is fun by itself, there will be people who play it even if there was not money involved, it happened to me back in the day with a game called "Pokemon leaf green", within the game there was a city which had a casino where you could play slots. There was a time I would spend several hours playing slots in that mini game, gambling fake money for fun. It is a good example of how design can hook you up without the thrill of being wagering actual money.
The economical factor of it can make it all more addictive, blending itself with the fun factor.

No task is impossible in human life because when a person is determined to do a task, the hidden power within his mind helps to complete that impossible task.
Gambling is a tough challenge, getting rid of this intense challenge is not easy but not impossible either. A person addicted to gambling can get rid of this difficult challenge with the help of his family, loved ones, circle of good friends.
what becomes difficult is when support when a gambler is actually in the environment where he is. but I agree with you, even support from family will be important for gamblers to start reducing or even quit gambling. this is difficult but not impossible.Gambling is a tough challenge, getting rid of this intense challenge is not easy but not impossible either. A person addicted to gambling can get rid of this difficult challenge with the help of his family, loved ones, circle of good friends.
if you want to get out of gambling, maybe someone needs to get closer to his religion. looking for a tiring occupation may also work for some gamblers to start reducing their activities.
actually, I don't really see any gambling addict who actually got out of gambling other than bankruptcy which changed their life for the worse.
- Well, supporting by someone who is closest to you is I think the main factor were the gambler is decided to quit will be a big help. It is because their guidance can give encouragement for the gambler to pursue Him/her to quit easily.
Because if a gambler wants to quit without anyone to guide or support him, it will be slow or difficult for him to quit immediately without the people close to him to support what he wants of course. Because close people do something different when we want to turn something into something.
Well, first of all, I want to say quitting anything is hard when you are getting pleasure from it. But the problem is just because you are getting pleasure from. It does not mean it is morally right. I personally do not think that it is right to actually gamble with the money which you earn with your hard work.
Of course, if you have $1 billion, you can gamble with $100,000 and not have too much effect on your life, even if you lose the whole hundred thousand dollar. But let’s say you have $10,000 and you need another $10,000 to make a payment. It is going to be a stupid idea to go and gamble with your 10,000 that you currently have trying to make it 20. Same with pleasure. You are thinking that you are gaining some money, not realising that it is probably just beginners luck, you try to go for more and end up losing. And the problem is not realising and accepting the fact that you might not win anymore that day and just take the loss and move on.
And in the end, I will say that it is easy for those to leave anything who are mentally strong. And mind is the only thing that can be controlled. You might need to change the people that you roll with as well.
your time and finances on dealing with it on which this is something that i could consider that you are still just doing fine on doing gambling.Its true that there's no need to quit if you are really that able to handle your gambling activity and not compromising your finances which this is the most important thing of all. Never ever consider yourself on trying out to mind on becoming rich with gambling because on having this kind of thought
on your mind will definitely be pushing you up on a certain situation on which it would really be making yourself that able to get addicted. This is the time that you would really be finding yourself on a situation on which
getting out or getting rid of addiction is something that wont be simple but actually if you are really that able to control yourself and mind then i dont really see any possible issues.

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.
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.

One can control it if the case is still not serious, but it doesn't mean that it's easy to do; it's still a challenge for that person. On the other hand, if the case is serious, it is most likely necessary to have other people help them too. They will be needing counseling and support from others.
the more addicted a gambler is, the more difficult it will be for him to try to get out of his addiction. it happened to me myself, i started to be less regular in gambling when i was really busy with my work. I spend a fair amount of time at work, and that keeps me from spending too much time at the casino. I'm not really out of gambling, I'm still playing but the intensity is less now due to being busy.
I enjoy the gambling that I do, I also don't expect to get out because it doesn't harm other people around me. perhaps gamblers who want to reduce their gambling activities can start to occupy themselves with other activities. but support from the people around us is also necessary. it's useless when we are still hanging out with fellow gamblers, what will happen is that we will play more often.
It all depends on the individual. It's Really Hard to Quit Gambling. For successful completion, it is necessary to replace gambling with something - for example, go fishing
I have given some instant or example before in this thread on how to quit gambling and if someone takes gambling very serious that will make them person to be addicted in gambling, so to restrict someone not to participate in gambling that means you make sure the person is receiving a weakly funds from other angle, because what makes people to gamble seriously is because all their mindset is in gambling and they that will lead them to continue to be losing because of they will be interested in recovering all their funds they lose, so quiting from gambling have be achieve by having a serious job, that will limit a gambler not to participate fully in gambling This is unlike some that will just wake up one day and decide that they do not want to do a thing anymore and they would abide with it. I fall in this latter category but I will still not judge others with weak minds. They however need regular help.

Gambling, yeah, some people show it all, some hide it all. Doesnt matter too much; its the addiction, right? A thing thats the same for both. Stress, anxiety, depression... You nailed it; its all a part of this whole gamble thingy. The body, the feelings, the way they decide stuff, all messed up!
Quit it? Not so easy, buddy. Some folks want rehab; some folks dont. Eyes see, feelings feel, guts suffer, yeah? Its all there, as you said. Parents and friends, support and stuff, its all needed. Good treatment, guidance, support, lots of support, and more support, thats what it takes. Keep up the support!
Yes, you're right, it's not that easy and it's hard to get rid of addiction, that's why everyone in this forum always warns anyone to play responsibly and every time you play gambling there are always risks, so don't gamble too deeply and get addicted because when you become an addict it is very it is difficult to cure it and it is true because many of my friends find it difficult to quit their addiction even though they have encouragement from their families.Quit it?

Everyone has a decision to stop or not, if an addict finds it difficult to stop it means he doesn't really want to stop, because people who have a high desire to stop gambling will definitely find a way to get out of their addiction even though it also needs the support of those closest to them, including family. therefore, never stop giving warnings to any novice gamblers
It will take a very strong will to overcome temptation if a player is already an addicted gambler because gambling addiction takes away that self control and the uncontrollable urge oftens nullify our self-restraint so it is really needed to have a very strong will to counter the urge of gambling addiction.
Yup, if dealing with addiction only the gambler itself that can do the hard work to prevent himself into gambling, just like you mentioned over coming that temptations that keeps in lingering inside you, it's something that most gamblers especially those who already deeply engage with heavy addictions, it's not easy and it surely a tough battle between your good side and a bad side, just imagine a devil and an angel in your life and right, hahaha just like a scene in a comedy movie way back the 90's

That's how far addicted gambler can suffer, realizing once mistake with a heavy regret after losing a huge amount of money out from this activity, reducing your addiction to the point that you will forcefully carry yourself out from any form of addictions, aid from other people will be useful if the person itself is the one who really seeking for that kind of assistance to bring him out from this heavy addiction.
