Gambling is not a fatal disease that cannot be prevented, people can get rid of gambling addiction if they want to. For those who have taken up gambling as fun, it is not a problem to get out of gambling.
But for those who have taken up gambling as a career, it becomes difficult to stay away from the terrible addiction of gambling or to control oneself completely from gambling.
Especially those who take gambling as a source of income cannot be distracted at all. But it will only be possible if one wants to have self-confidence and challenge.

Yes, it's true, people always think that gambling addiction is a deadly disease, we have to distinguish drug addiction from gambling addiction, I think gambling addiction can still be cured at any time, for example, I used to be a cigarette addict and liked to drink alcohol, even I couldn't live with it. both, but with the belief from myself that I can stop by reducing it slowly, finally I can quit smoking and drinking alcohol. hardly ever touch it anymore

I'm sure it's a much easier way to let go of gambling addiction is to gradually reduce the time you play gambling so you don't gamble all the time, but if gambling is indeed a source of income, divert it by working or opening a business, for example trading looking for another activity and looking for a source. other income aside from gambling, I believe that slowly I will be free from gambling addiction as well as life becoming more controlled.

(it is not difficult to stop gambling) you have to find your own reasons to be able to stop gambling while I can't find the right reasons to stop gambling because for me gambling games are part of my entertainment and I don't feel there is a problem with that.

Some people who fall into the category of gambling addiction are obliged to stop their gambling activities when it already affects their real-world life, but when you are able to properly manage your gambling activities, I'm sure you won't want to stop because gambling has become part of your entertainment.

It's easy to say it's not difficult to stop gambling but the truth is, many people find it difficult to stop gambling. At least, they can stop starting today for a week or so but after that, they will return to gambling because the memory of gambling, especially when they get a win, is too strong to make them return to gambling.

Some people who are actually able to stop gambling are fortunate in that they are able to change their gambling habit by diverting it into doing other things that may be more beneficial to them. If we find it difficult to stop, maybe we should rearrange our gambling time and try to reduce it so that we can slowly walk away from gambling without looking back at it.

This sums up about minding our own stuff. If people do gamble for fun, those that are doing it for income wouldn't have a thing for those that does it for fun and vice versa.

You can't force people to stop what they've been doing for a long time just to enforce your thought and thinking.

Again we can't force any to stop gamble but we can and should advise them to quit gambling if it is hurting them or if we know anyone who is addicted to gambling.

People may even get agree to you with that but since we're in a forum, discussions like this are typical and in the end, you only need to think of your own.

Yes of course, if can put ourselves in the scenario, where how we will react if someone asks us to quit gamble, sharing our point of view on this will be helpful to decide if it is easy to quit or not. If we think that we won't stop gambling upon asking other people, why would other people would listen to us and stop the gamble Huh

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.

^Good for you and probably because that is the reason why you abuse gambling and become addicted to it.
Surrounding yourself with positive influences and finding alternative activities to engage in can help fill the void that gambling may leave behind.
But you cannot wish everyone the same as you want because they are not addicted to gambling, they gamble as they see they have fun on it, for example in sports betting, watching the match and placing your bets at the same time will make you more have excitement while watching.
However, we respect your decision, streaming and recording your gambling behavior is a great strategy to stay committed to your goal of quitting.

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.

Congrats! I don't really think you need to quit gambling completely, just take it as a hobby, one that you regularly spend an amount that's completely manageable for you. There are also some people who can't really bear to quit, this doesn't mean that they're addicted imo, simply because they've stuck to it for quite a long time now (there are a lot of people who can gamble responsibly after all). It's the idea that gambling to earn money is wrong anyway, if you do earn money then nice, take it as a side goal, not the main one.

But quitting gambling isn't for everyone, just like gambling is not for everyone, not everyone can just keep it fun. And that's ok. Skydiving or skiing aren't for everyone either, neither everyone can make a living with them.

Yeah, you reminded me of the talents give to the five people in the Bible, it's written that to one, He gave five talent, to the second, He gave four talent, to the third, He gave three talent, to the fourth, He gave two talents, and to the fifth, He gave one talents, He gave talents to everyone according to their abilities... What does this mean or imply?

It simply means that there is a division of labor when it comes to every profession, business, career, or hobby, so you are perfectly correct when you said, gambling is not for everyone, and as for those who are addicted to it, not every one will have the opportunity to come out from such addictions because grace differs, so if op already found grace to come out from his addiction to gambling, it's very good for him and he should be celebrated.

People should do what they like to do. Getting addicted to gambling is a bad thing but there is absolutely no harm in playing every once in a while. People should quit smoking and drinking alcohol too but some of them do these every day and I don't see them quitting. It is better to be in control rather than quitting something that gives you pleasure completely. Having sex every day and hour is not healthy too but we don't quit it forever do we? The same logic applies here. Gambling occasionally is fine, doing it everyday now that's where it gets dangerous.

There are people who do really love to generalized on things on which on the time that they do saw someone who do play gambling then they would really be having that kind of thinking that a certain individual is already addicted to it which it is really not that right at all. There are people who are really that engaged on gambling because they do really seek for entertainment and leisure on which it would really be that
normal for a human being to find up these kind of things and this is the reason on why we do gamble.

Quitting gambling? If you do see that you are already that spending that much when it comes to gambling activity then it would really be that wise that you should really know on when to stop or quit
because if you dont then you would really be putting up yourself into much hard.Dont wait up yourself to be addicted because once you do already on this kind of state then it would
really be that hard to get out and this is something that you should be avoiding into.

Have some empathy for OP people, fighting with addiction is a real thing. We aren't always so coherent and logical when we have lost a lot.

OP has lost his money and is angry, that's perfectly natural. At the same time he/she has figured out that gambling for living isn't a good choice to make a living for OP. And that playing should be fun. Which is a massive break trough for OP. Usually when we find a life changing solution we want to shout it from rooftops because we think it's going to apply for everyone.

But quitting gambling isn't for everyone, just like gambling is not for everyone, not everyone can just keep it fun. And that's ok. Skydiving or skiing aren't for everyone either, neither everyone can make a living with them.

Quitting gambling is a great solution, but obviously it won't be easy. Nevertheless, I wish you good luck in your business, and I think it's the right step that you announced it. I think you would need to find a few more people who also want to quit gambling, and together try to overcome this habit.
As psychologists say, it is always much easier to achieve success in such an undertaking in groups, and progress is clearly visible.
And if you hire a specialist to monitor you or the group, then success will definitely be 100 percent.

Like anything in life, if you do too much of one thing and it starts to consume all of your time - then you have crossed the line into a damaging addiction. There is nothing wrong with most people and their relationship with gambling, they might choose to walk into a casino every couple years knowing they're expecting to lose $50, or others might even be content with playing the lottery every week which is a low level form of gambling that can even be a bit therapeutic because it allows them to dream of fabulous riches they have a infinitely small chance of winning. You're right though, it's freeing once you step away from such addictions and you should make sure to completely stop or you might be drawn back in.

There has been a lot of discussion about whether it is difficult or easy to quit gambling. Gambling is a bad addiction and quitting it is not a very easy task. quitting gambling requires high self-effort and self-control. otherwise, quitting gambling will be a very difficult task. I can say that it is not difficult for me to quit gambling because I have control over myself and I know that I am not deeply addicted to gambling. so quitting gambling will not be the same for everyone. For some it will be easy and for some it will be very difficult.

I think you can only say that because you are not playing gambling most of the time. Playing frequently doesn’t mean you addicted but rather you just like the concept of the gambling because it provides entertainment. Maybe you have other things that gives you entertainment which is why you are not fully soaked on playing gambling.

It’s only easy to quit gambling if you really don’t like it or you are afraid on the potential loss due to the risk involved. But real gambler that having fun playing will definitely have a hard time to stop playing because this were they get the fun.

Yes I don't gamble all the time and I myself realize that I am not addicted to gambling because gambling doesn't motivate me too much. i gamble sometimes just for fun so I think it's much easier to quit gambling. but quitting gambling may not be an easy task for a gambling addict. However, people can do anything if they try, but gambling addicts do not seem to be motivated to quit gambling. that is the problem. So it can be said that quitting gambling is not an easy task

Me too, I only bet on the weekends and that's if I want it.
I think addicts can reduce it by staying busy, by having full-time jobs and side jobs where you won't have time to gamble, and doing it with the consistent intention that you want to stop or minimize it.
those who become addicts because they don't have a serious job so they think gambling is their activity, gambling is not evil, it's just that the players are too carried away so they can't control themselves.
most of those who gamble for fun have productive activities or jobs that they think are more important, and gamble only in their spare time with sufficient capital and only for fun. So gambling just for fun is very easy to stop, they will think gambling is not a place to make money and a place to make money is just working or using skills to make money.

I do not quite understand this topic, to be honest.
At first, I thought this was going to be a long thread about how gambling can be dangerous to us if we cannot control ourselves (which is true), however I found so many contradictions here.

You say that you hate gambling and yet, you are willing to stream yourself gambling? Am I missing anything here?

If you need to control your problem gambling, then partaking in more gambling and streaming it is not the solution. Even if you tried to only gamble small amounts, you could worsen your bad habits...

If you hate gambling that's your decision but I can't figure out why you decide to create a topic on this, are you trying to change the mind of many others? It seems you gamble with the money that you shouldn't have use and you lost it, just accept your defeat and be humble about it, you don't need to hate.

After all no one is forcing you to gamble, it's your own decision, instead of hating it's wiser to figure out what you did wrong, do you even think about the possibility? Next time use what you can afford to lose, your irresponsible way of gambling is what leads to your hate for gambling.

Gambling with what you can afford to lose won't hurt you or makes you become a useless person, have it in mind that there is a higher chance you will lose the money, so limit your amount of money to what you can afford to lose.

You have some very, eh, "original" ideas. You seem to be under the impression that those who don't enjoy gambling are cynical losers. Unfortunately, my dear buddy, things aren't always as simple as you make them out to be. To gamble is not always to lose money or to feel "forced" to do so

Possible explanation: they despise gaming because of the social and economic problems it causes. Like how it can lead to criminal activity, exploitation of the poor, and the promotion of a "get-rich-quick" mentality. Perhaps they've experienced the devastation it causes directly in their own families. A very distinct picture is emerging from my pen, don't you think?

Moreover, in regards to "responsible gambling,"... Sure, that's a line everybody can recognize. But have you ever considered how the boundaries between responsibility and irresponsibility may become hazy in the eyes of an addict? To put it another way: "Hey, you can play with fire, just don't get burned!"

Most people just go all in after maybe they might have experience some kind of good win and forgetting that gamble has to do with two functions which is winning and losing. The ability for every gambler to control his or herself during this heavy loss is what makes you not suffer and become an addict. When a gambler starts experiencing loses he or she forgets about everything and just keep chasing his losses which he will never get back and this act doesn't stop till the whole money for gambling is spent and thats when the regrets and frustration kicks in.

Knowing when to stop when experiencing lose is very vital to having a healthy gambling lifestyle.

I understand what you are trying to convey with your reply but this individual has the habit to spam this board. He lost big time and does not have anything to do, that is why he is creating such threads as it would eventually lead to negativity on this board. I did confront him and this user tried his level best to play as a victim without giving me a reason why this thread was created & what are his objective. If you had gone through his post history which he has deleted you would know how big he is as a loser. You won't find much of it as he did delete a lot of his past posts.

Hard for people which just starting up and expect unrealistic condition while they are gambling. They usually aim for big things without even seeing the realistic situation about it that's why other got a hard time to quit because they had been addicted with it.

One thing I noticed players with this attribute often find themselves have difficulty in quitting gambling.

1. Greed - due to greed gamblers intend to risk their money for huge unsure winnings
2. Laziness - people who just want to enjoy things and earn without doing any hard works also find gambling hard to quit especially when they are on a positive streak.
3. Gambling addiction - the uncontrolled urge to gamble, since they have no control over themselves it is expected that they will be having a very hard time quitting.

This is common experience by newbies so we can relate with because for sure this situation comes to us sometimes or way back on early days. But its so unfortunate that others fall in wrong way since other commit crimes because they can't control theirselves to gambles this is why its so important to ready someone story either its unfortunate or a success one so that we can learn something from them and can avoid all the traits you mention since a person could turn to its worst shape if they have the three attitude you mentioned.
