First and foremost, I don’t see quitting gambling is reasonable if you are just an occasional gambler. As long as you can still manage your finances well and you have your own stable job to support your gambling activity, then gambling at your own risk is still valid enough. However, for those who are gambling using borrowed funds since they don’t have any spare money for gambling, then it’s a good advice to quit gambling for good. Otherwise, they’ll end up being homeless trying their luck again and again. But the problem is these kind of people find it hard to quit from gambling, especially if they are gambling to provide their family needs. Though the best advice is just to quit and find stable job to make ends meet, but you can’t just force people to quit gambling easily especially if they’re not completely convinced to leave gambling for good.

Why would someone want to quit gambling when what he derived from it is money and pleasure, but it becomes a different case when these two aren't achieved anymore and the gambler gets frustrated to the point of being in debt and concluded on quitting or advised to quit, this shouldn't be, in cases like this, there's a need for proper reorientation for him to understand what he has left behind which is part of what's affecting him from moving forward with his gambling experience, the more he may wanted to quit the harder and difficult it then becomes because he would have already been used to gambling despite being not pleased with what he had.

Quiting is very hard, I haven't seen anything in this world that's easy to quit, everything is hard to quit and when you get addicted to that thing it becomes harder, gambling is one of those things. People want to quit to gamble because it's destroying their lifes and want out.

Many gamblers aren't getting pleasure neither are they getting money, they just keep on losing whenever they gambler but because they're addicted they keep playing and some others don't have other options but to continue playing hoping one day they'll win like others.

For some gamblers quiting is the only way out because trying to manage them is a waste of time as they have gotten too deep that it'll be hard to try to get them to minimize the way they gamble or the money they waste on gambling every time they decide to gamble.

Gambling is not bad but I will advice not to be addicted in gambling, but I can't advice someone to quit from gambling because gambling we use gambling as fun and as a relax, but giving an advice to stop gambling is very bad, I have said it before that gambling is very good because at a point it uplift some lucky people and eliminate poverty in their home, I believe that in gambling you can profit and you can lose also, one thing in gambling is that you should not take it to heart
Gambling is not bad but being deeply addicted to gambling is the biggest stress. When a person starts gambling he bets with fun and after winning a few bets his greed starts working. I will not invite anyone to gamble who will make his future dark by gambling. I have noticed some gamblers who have made their lives addicted to gambling. I think it is never possible for an addicted person to gamble to the detriment of their family. There are some people who can make good money by gambling but most of the gamblers lose their money. But if I were to advise anyone moving forward, it would be to avoid gambling. Gambling never improves life if addicted to it only loses money so gambling is good but not always. I gamble occasionally for fun and I do it for military time so my advice is not to get addicted to gambling.

Also by the help by himself of course because if he will not help himself then all the efforts by his family will be useless.
This condition happened to my neighbor, he get a support to stop gambling from all of his family.But it seems that the addiction that he experienced was too strong and make him failed to stop gambling. Now I don't hear about him anymore, because since last year he has gone to work abroad. However, the last time from what his parents explained to me, he still had trouble stopping gambling.
The guy wasn't able to control his urge to gamble and the family let him go abroad to work so that he earns money and use it all in gambling, that's a great solution indeed. They shouldn't have let him go until he was completely okay and has left gambling, he would obviously not be able to get rid of it when he is away from the family, living alone with no one around to even care about what he does and what he doesn't, he would definitely gamble in such a situation.

Supporting someone when they are in trouble is a good thing, but then leaving them hanging if they can't grasp the changes isn't really an ideal thing to do, the support should be continued and the person should be kept around to see if there are any changes found or not.

If I am used to contributing or doing different things that have to do with the game, it is difficult to stop doing it all of a sudden, I would say that it is not possible, because it is difficult, what I would do would be to wait, to do other activities that consume me more time than in the game if I have that type of activity it is the only way to stop betting on something like that, but for the rest I see no other option, because we will always be betting and betting and seeing how we continue in our fun, but to stop betting we have to do other things, where we are busy mentally and hopefully physically, but this is good to do when we know that things have Gotten out of control.

Yes bro, it's true that the more we make efforts to quit gambling, the more difficult it will be to avoid gambling because gambling is like a part of his life or like a place to fill his spare time.
Actually it doesn't matter if someone doesn't quite gambling or doesn't stop gambling, the most important thing is to always be responsible and consistent with every bet he makes.
Because if you don't you will become an addict and it will be harder to quit
For everything in life there's always a point you will have to advise yourself that it is time to quit. And as a gambler if you ain't getting the two derivative as mentioned by doan9269 no matter whatever tactics and skills you've employed then quiting would be a wise alternative. Just like trading, gambling is not for everyone, the funny thing is some people don't even know why they got into gambling in the first place and that's why majority of them easily sink into addiction.

Take a look at my merits, It's lucky number

You are right, gambling addiction is a very serious problem for many people, one of the main factors is the desire to make a profit, and also the desire to get back money from losses, and unfortunately, almost all gamblers can't recover their losses.

Regarding how to stop gambling, I think it's very difficult to do alone, you need encouragement from friends or family, or the right choice is to ask for help at a service that provides services to stop gambling, here is one that I feel can be trusted : https://thegamblingclinic.com

Quitting in gambling needs more support to those people around the addict because if the addict alone he cannot leave gambling easily because it will needs more comfort and he needs people to understand with him and when every he goes he needs a buddy in order to successfully quit in gambling. Also by the help by himself of course because if he will not help himself then all the efforts by his family will be useless.

Help from people around is a real thing to help addicts get rid of addiction, like he can get encouragement to do other activities that can keep him busy, so he doesn't have time to play gambling, or at least reduce his intensity to play. Regarding your last statement, maybe what you mean is that the only way to stop gambling is comes from self-will, right?

We can't put pressure on someone to stop their addiction even though we are the parents because even to stop being addicted it has to come from the desire of the addict, because it won't work and it would be useless to tell the addict to stop especially by suppressing it, it will only stress him out and then he will gamble again in secret. trust me it wont work

I can quit smoking with my own will and that's easy compared to the pressure that I get from people around me to stop smoking, that's why I say this because I experienced what it's like to give up a bad habit that we enjoy, it sounds difficult but with self-confidence we will be able to get out of that addiction. start by reducing it before you really want to stop gambling because that's the most effective way.

That also what I mean if the addict want to leave gambling then there's a way or process about that because he/she can not leave immediately because once person involved or worst getting addicted to the gambling then he/she have always the mindset that he will play and play because they are aiming to win and get profits without knowing that everytime they bet the more their greediness will overcome.

I completely understand your point of view. Addiction recovery is a very individual process. However, while you're accurate that external pressure might not always help, it can certainly commence the process in some cases. I dont advocate coercion, but a gentle prod in the right direction may be all that some people need.

You said that the best method to overcome an addiction is to progressively lessen one's consumption. However, this approach, known as harm reduction, may not be appropriate for all users. There's data that suggest that complete sobriety could be the best option for some people. Addiction is a complex disease, and there is no universally effective treatment.

Confusion is when you hate what you love and embracing  what you hates.

How would you concur to your opposition reasonings after finding them positive yet you're still going contrarily after adoptation?

How can you asked someone trying to keep out of gambling to confide or relate to you when you're not a testimony as you still gambles?

How can you say you hate to gambling yet you talks about how you stakes affordably there on the gambling? Is that a gambling tactics or fighting yourself of from gambling?

This is like a color riot of a problem.

The only option to keep out of gambling is to be afar from the scene of gambling and if you eventually finds yourself amidst or around, find your way out as quick as you can.

An addicted gambler doesn't quit gambling by just advices but by a self determination. It's really going to be challenging at those periods of time.

I saw several gamers that thought the same. Everybody dreams that his hobby can become the main income source. And it doesn`t matter is it gambling or gaming or sports. And people spends time and money to improve their skills in the hobby to get profit later.
The gambling differs only that it is only about money. You can don`t like it but you think about profit and continue gambling. But it is again more about the gambling than about a gambler.

You're right, I also know many guys who play computer games, dreaming of becoming esports players and earning money. But in fact, among 10,000 such guys, only one will start earning something. At the same time, ruining your health. I do not approve of such aspirations. This is not a ludomania, but a dependence on computer games. Such dependence consumes little money, but a lot of time and health. One of my friends became schizophrenic, constantly playing dota. And I'm not kidding. I also like to play, but everything is good only in moderation. You need to devote a moderate number of hours to all cases, and do really serious things. Only occasionally distracted by games to relax.

Getting support from people around the addict is a must so that the addict understands that there are still people who care about him and want to help him to cure his addiction. But there must be a strong desire from within him to recover because if there is only support from the people around him, it is not enough for the addict to start healing himself. The help and moral support of the people around him will make the addict realize that he deserves a second chance to recover from his gambling addiction. And even though it's difficult, the addict can get through it well because the people around him will support him.

I think that it depends on the gambler/gamer/etc. Someone can stop himself, someone else will gamble until he lose all his money. This situation is the same(in my opinion) for most part of the hobbies - in some moment it becomes too expensive and it doesn`t matter what resource do you spend - money, time or something else.
The problem with gambling that it is the main thing we see.
You need to have a strong mindset to leave it because it's like all other addiction where you are tempted to bet upon games even if costs you anything so to be normal again you need to be strong and especially if you have some moral support of you family members it can be easy.It depends on the surrounding environment also like gamblers will have during that time that can help them a lot.

Everyone needs to be aware of habit forming behaviour whenever they start to pick up a new hobby, even computer games can become quite addictive over time without any gambling involved - just the happiness endorphins that are triggered after a difficult win is achieved. As long as people keep gambling in proportion and low level, it's not necessarily a harmful activity. Once people think they have some strategy to beat the house long term or thinking that after a sequence of failed bets the house suddenly owed them a win, then they are slipping into dangerous territory and probably need to stop entirely.

Hobbies that take all your time and attention are full. But gambling differs from it very much, although it is not immediately noticeable. The fact is that playing poker, roulette, slot machines, bets - from the outside look like just a pastime. But the fact is that many weak people begin to count on the fact that these hobbies will solve their problems.
"Now I'm going to win a few thousand and quit my job, buy a car, etc." Such are the thoughts of weak-minded gamblers.
There is nothing wrong with hoping for it, but you can't live only by it. There are a lot of different things that also give hope for a comfortable future, but they do not require such investments as gambling, because they depend more on the skills of the individual.And it is unlikely to cause addiction and obsessive thoughts.

Anyone can easily slide into addictions and gambling addiction has been one of the major challenges that have faced a lot of people trying to withdraw from it addictions have not been really that easy so it all best one does not gamble too much, because doing so is what leads most of us into excessive loses and possible addictions since we will be chasing the result constantly and the house will always be at advantage over the players and that has been the reason for many of the recorded loses over time.
So in gambling one needs to set a limit as to how far you will go and when to put a stop.

You are right, gambling addiction is a very serious problem for many people, one of the main factors is the desire to make a profit, and also the desire to get back money from losses, and unfortunately, almost all gamblers can't recover their losses.
