Topic: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. - page 58. (Read 10347 times)

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 would compare overcoming the passion for gambling with the problem of a tobacco smoker who wants to quit smoking.  In the case of smokers, the most difficult thing, as everyone who has ever smoked cigarettes or a smoking pipe and then quit smoking, is the first week, when you really want to smoke and you have to make great efforts not to.  In case of refusal from gambling, of course, this period is not a week but more, but the principle is the same. 
At first, I really want to play, then this desire gradually begins to dull.  At first, the thought often, sometimes even continuously, spins in my head that as soon as you finish work, then immediately go to the computer and gamble. 
Then this thought begins to appear less and less often, and in the end it may disappear altogether. 
That's when this happens, you can safely say that you will never again become a gambling addict.

And even better is to have a job and then do other useful activities, and with this time to play even thinking about gambling there will be no room.
and most do gambling activities because there are no other useful and productive activities for them and only think about gambling, and this happened to my friend. And after he works from morning to evening, after that he goes to the gym and other positive activities, finally over time he doesn't think about gambling. But all of that must also be assisted with a real intention to do so.

Busying yourself with things unrelated to gambling can help someone reduce gambling activities, especially if he has a creative environment that always tries to get him involved too. This will make him think about what he is doing with his friends so that his mind from gambling can be distracted. This can also help the gambling addict to reduce his gambling habit and in the end, he can recover from his addiction without having to visit a specialist. But this all also depends on the environment's role in helping people suspected to have experienced gambling addiction.

at the end of the day, it is your own self who is responsible for what you do in life. your parents, siblings may influence your decisions in life, but remember, it is your own life, and you can do whatever you want to do. they may have contributed when it comes to perspectives in life, but it doesn't mean you need to follow them. as you grow older, you will understand how life really is.

Just look at all the conflict and suffering! It's quite heavy... In my opinion, this shows that free will and context interact in nuanced ways. My interpretation is that he is struggling against his own wants and needs. Isn't it intriguing that he despises his own propensity for gambling but enjoys the thrill of prepping for a bet? It's a dance of mixed emotions, from excitement to sorrow

Although his father's influence is external, it appears to have been absorbed to the point where it now influences the young man's sense of self and his behavior. As you can see, then, it's not as simple as assigning responsibility. It's about a person's battle with guilt, obsession, and the weight of family pressure

To become an addict to something, I believe you must have been continuous with the act for a certain amount of long period till the habit becomes part of you also. Most of the gambler started their gambling habit way too little and some of them was due to the fact they are were exposed to such act by their own parents and relative, especially the ones that feel they have everything so they feel relaxed and become ignorant to all activities of the child.

When I read and watch about addicted gamblers, I do not cease to be surprised at what bets there are among them. Often these are young boys of young age - the end of school or the beginning of university. Athletes and even gold medalists of schools! And many from very wealthy families (which allows them to manipulate rich parents who do not spare anything for children). And they come to their senses only when their beloved son takes out half of the property from the apartment. This is the same psychotype as drug addicts, so both are treated together in hospitals, without making a huge difference between addicts and drug addicts. The fact is that some people just need a sense of adrenaline. A sense of invincibility or genius.

Each person does have their own levels when it comes to tolerance on which in speaking about gambling addiction or engagement then it would be entirely be different on each person on which there are ones who
could be able to play without compromising much when it comes into their financial and actually if you do have the money then you could actually play without having no problems.Issues would really just be coming out on the time that you would really be dealing up excessively or something not already that ideal or in normal situation. On the time that you would be having those losses then the most common behavior of a certain individual is that you would really be making out those kind of blaming on other people but there are indeed persons who do really accept out the fact that they had just made out a mistake.
Making up those self realizations is something that not really that common on a certain individual.

At first, I also thought that game addicts blame others more for their failures. But it turns out that this is not the case.
Yes, there was an example when a guy who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars blamed his father for being too strict in his upbringing. He said that his father controls his whole life, and if this guy earns a lot of money through betting, he will leave the family and live by his own rules. But in the end, this guy said that he blames himself the most. He said he hated himself when he placed a new bet. And he wasn't happy about a rare win. As it turned out, the very expectation of what he would gamble now gave him pleasure. That he had found the money and was about to play. And for this he hated more and blamed himself even more.

Sometimes gambling, sports betting makes a person addicted for that reason, because if we take counts of what we have spent, what we have lost, what we have won, the person who has lost is a novice, it is obvious that he will feel a strange feeling, it is the recovery of his money, it is something normal, I think that everyone defends his money and everything is valid up to a certain point, and when the novice player feels the need to recover his money, he begins to make bets desperate, and that is the bad idea because it is very likely that you will lose all those stinks and not recover anything, not even half a dollar, on the contrary, you will end up losing more, that is what should be avoided.

That is the powerful hook that keeps gamblers, especially newbie gamblers that are addicted from quiting. Nothing is so easy to quit, especially when it becomes a habit. I have had a friend who decided to quit smoking. And when I ask him when he will quit, he'll reply that it will be after his birthday. What special thing is happening in his birthday, I don't really know and till today he smokes. Sometimes I remind of this and we laugh over it and we keep waiting for his birthday every year to quit smoking which never happened.

Most new players would think like that, they say they will quit gambling after hitting the jackpot and covering their losses from betting. However, the reality is, the more eager they are to recover their losses, the more frequently they lose, and it doesn't align with their expectations. It becomes a problem that will always thwart someone from quitting gambling because they will always think, "Maybe this time I will win."

Of course, if you are an addicting and start regretting your actions. You will blame someone or something and in this case, it's the luck that had made you win on a casino that made you secrete endorphins that made you want to do gamble again since you find comfort in doing it. We all have different gambling routes and instantly being addicted to it is surely hard and will make you regret sooner or later.

I think it is necessary to be consistent in gambling, for example limiting the gambling budget as well as limiting wins so that when we achieve a certain win, stop gambling. It is important to do this so that consistency can protect us from addiction. As we see, many gamblers waste opportunities when they win, they keep playing and don't stop finally experiencing defeat.

The wins we get sometimes do make us greedier so that it makes us curious about ourselves and increases our confidence that we can win even more by continuing to play, that's why gamblers shouldn't do it, at least self-control knows when to stop gambling and know when we have to play gambling so gambling won't make us addicts.

In interviews, many gamblers who have problems with the game admit that they really regret that at the beginning of the game path and were very lucky with the bet. And they won a large sum, multiplying the deposit several times.
The paradox is that they are not happy that this happened. Because from that moment of winning, they had a feeling that they had never experienced before. This is the feeling that they have earned a lot of money very easily, while asserting themselves.
After all, at such a moment, when your express has played and won, you will begin to consider yourself a damn genius. Like all people are idiots, but only you own the analysis, and you can ruin a casino or a bookmaker.

If you are only waiting for when you will win a huge sum of money in gambling before you will quit that means you are not even ready to quit gambling.
Such amount of money you are seeking to win is not won on daily basis by everybody. It is just like hitting the jackpot.

Invariably what you meant is that you need to win big money in order to recover all you have lost during gambling before you quit. Do you know what this means? It means that you are chasing your losses and you are going to lose the more and still will not be able to quit gambling.

That kind of bond will allow them to talk about the situation, once they already bring that to the topic you may start bringing the things that you know that will help them to stop or lessen the chance of letting them to play, that's the good timing to discuss all possible venue to keep them away from any related gambling activities.

Avoiding by means of keeping them busy with other activities that will eat most of their time will surely help them to forget anything about gambling.

Large amount of winning are too hard to say that you can quit gambling in easily as we all know that once we hit the jackpot and have a 3 or more successive win then for sure our readiness will take over and we can not control our self to stop gambling immediately because all we thing is we can win again and again without knowing that the more we bet the more we loss. So it's too hard to quit gambling all we need is self discipline and control in order to prevent addiction.

It is difficult for a gambling addict to realize that he has experienced a gambling addiction, even if it is very severe. They will always deny that they are addicted to gambling because they can hide their gambling activities from other people and only play when they are alone. And those who live with a gambling addict must really pay attention to all their activities, including when the gambling addict is alone and using his device.

However, if we care about those addicted to gambling, we must continue to pay more attention to them so that gambling addicts know that the people around them still need them. And maybe we can invite him to get out of what he does every day so he can experience life out there and open his eyes and mind to the fact that there is still a lot that he can do.

Yes, I've also seen gamblers with high self-esteem who feel they don't need help from others. If that's the case, we can only stay with them while looking for ways to try to wake them up and I'm sure they will be able to leave their addiction. They will admit to their gambling addiction, especially if we can enter slowly into their environment to see what kind of help we can provide first.

We can invite him to do other activities that can keep him busy and distract him from gambling. Later he will be able to feel it and slowly, he will surely open up to accept us and want to follow our suggestions for his own good.
