These are very serious and complex requirements.  Still, I think that some of them do not necessarily have to exist.  This is especially true when it comes to changing a player’s faith.  This is already too individual a characteristic of a person and, as a rule, people change their religion quite rarely during their lives. 

And other points in your plan to quit gambling may actually happen because they radically change a person’s lifestyle.

If you wont really be able to stop it directly or on point then it would really be just that sensible that you should really be starting on trying out on step to step basis on which same as you had that elaborated
that it would really be something that you would be needing up to be followed if ever you've seen that you've failed on doing it initially. It would really be just that depending into someones seriousness
on quitting because if they wont really be that prepared on doing so then they would really be going back to play again. Just like on what been said by most people on here is that it is really just that too easy to make out such recommendation or advise but this is really that actually to hard to be done because we do know that once that addiction clings up into yourself then getting out
would really be not that something that simple or easy. This is why you should really be careful on dealing with gambling if you arent that good on handling your emotions.

What you mentioned are all the best way to easily overcome addictions, and as a matter of fact advising someone that is already addicted is not going to work out, without the victim willingness to overcome the condition, and not just being willing along also Change of environment for the individual also plays a vital role in the excape.


Being preoccupied is also a very good thing, if the time come to move out of addictions, the best and fastest way to overcome the urge is by taking on a new activities that will keep the mind away from gambling that way the individual is occupied taking a new job as you said is a good way to go about this.

It takes more than a decision to stop gambling especially when it has become a habit or an addiction. There will be so many failed attempts to stop gambling until when it will finally happen. And for it to happen you must do some extra things and willing to forgo some pleasures.

• The victim should be ready to lose some friends
• The victim should be able to accept relocation if possible
• The victim should be willing to take up new job
• And possibly change believe.

It won't just happen, there must be some levels of commitments.

Wayback when im still that new to gambling on which i have made myself that comes into a point that im halfway on being a gambling addict on which i have already spend up tons of
money which arent supposed to be spend in gambling but ending up on doing the same mistake all over again but just like on what most people been saying on here is that on the moment that you would really be
serious on quitting gambling then you could really actually do it. It will really be just that a matter on how strict you are on trying out to implement on how you would be able to control yourself
not to play on a specific period of time but somehow its never been easy and tons of people do the same mistake  You would really be that keep on repeating on the same mistake all over again if you arent that serious on what are the things that you are really that trying to do. Its not really that easy but if you do mean on quitting then you could actually do it on your own.

This is clearly the most important question.

 It’s just that the brain of a player who has actually decided to quit gambling must be completely and finally convinced that this is the correct and only correct decision.  Only in this case is there a chance to really stop gambling.  In any other case, as you correctly noted, there will be an infinite number of unsuccessful attempts to stop playing.  Survive a week without playing.  And then everything starts all over again.  This, of course, is not a solution to the problem of combating incipient gambling addiction.

When it comes on quitting on gambling then it would really be that entirely be depending on someones brain and its control on which we know that this isnt something that can be controlled by others but only
to the ones who are really that handling on their own. Yes, there could really be some things which could help you out on quitting up gambling for good but it would really be just that entirely depending on you on how you would really be that making things that possible or to happen. On the moment that you cant really be able to accept out such condition or really that serious on quitting gambling then it would really be just that pointless for you to make out such dealing up with those possible methods or ways because it wouldnt really be that still effective because you are still minding about doing gambling.

This is why on the moment that you are tending to quit gambling then you should really mean it and you should really be serious on doing it because if not then you would really be just that circling around
and would really be just a never ending story on which you would really be keeping on coming back on playing gambling and cant really just be able to quit because with those kind of intents and hopes
on winning big. This is why it would really be better that you should really be having that good control towards self and really that meaning on quitting gambling for good.

However, the player’s decision to quit gambling forever is a rather difficult decision that must be born and mature in the player’s brain. 
Moreover, this thought should be so strong that he could actually realize it and, indeed, as a result he would completely stop gambling.  I think that not all players can have such a strong will to implement the refusal of games.  There is always an internal opposition to the thoughts that it would be good to enjoy the game.  And the second thought is that the player is already addicted to gambling.  And which thought will win is unknown in advance.  And there is no guarantee that any refusal to play, after a month, for example, will not lead to a relapse of attraction and the cessation of attempts to get out of this addiction.

Yes you are right! Human thinking and self realizations would really be the key for you to be able to quit up gambling for good on which we know that this is something that will determine on how good you are
on this aspect. Yes, same as you said that a certain gambler could really be that different when it comes to behavior on which there are ones who are really that secretive and doesnt tend to share up his current condition into his loved ones and tending to solved out addiction on their own. Its hard but nothing is impossible as long you are really that willing or serious on quitting up gambling for good.
Just bare in mind that in every problem does have its own solution. It is really just that depending on how serious you would be in terms on tending to make things happen.

Fair point. We have different root of addiction and that is important to know in able to find a suitable treatment. Some user got addicted because of social anxiety and others is due to false hope of getting rich in gambling. There’s no single formula to treat all kinds of addiction.


Yeah, Some country like first world country usually has a lot of NGO dedicated for this since there’s a lot of backer for this cause. But this kind of services is very rare on 3rd world country since government and NGO focus is more on charity rather than addiction. Good thing that online therapy is already possible due to the existence of video call.

People are different and one addicted to gambling should be treated differently from one gambler we cannot generalize behavior, some can quit on their own, some can talk it out of it and those who are extreme should be in a facility that is why governments and NGO have their centers to cure those who are addicted to gambling who have a hard time quitting.

It's good that we have different resources, and many options for gamblers who want to quit so whatever level they are in, there's always a cure and the sooner the gambler reaches out or realizes that he needs to chance to get cured the better.

Even on a simple google search then you would really be finding tons of sites or even with those simple feedbacks and advises that been written up on a forum or any platforms out there, but everything would really be turned out to be useless if you wont really be that making yourself that accepting on quitting gambling then you wont really be needing those things but instead you would really be just that simply quit on your own without needing anything. It would really be just that self realization and acceptance would be the key for you to unshackle yourself with gambling addiction.

Yes, this isnt something simple to be done but its not something that would really be impossible. It all matters on someones seriousness on quitting. You wont really be needing
any site or someone, or professional seek of help. On the moment that you have tried your best on quitting but still getting that win over with extreme addiction
then this is the moment you would really be considering on getting some external help.

No thanks to the addicts, they actually brought it upon themselves due to their weakness and lack of cautiousness. Even if they are weak but are cautious, it would still have helped in guarding them so that they can continue in the quest of gambling with the pretence that they are not weak. But since they let loose of all of them altogether, they encounter more issues and that's why I don't like to pity them at times. Notwithstanding, I like to help in my own little way which is why I even want to counter what you mentioned that people do not like free things. This is not so true in my experience when I reach out to challenged people and it depends on the free things you are talking about. Besides, I have truly witnessed some people buying some products for over $2,500, I mean the products that can't serve a better purpose than what they can get for free.

Any time they hear the term "premium," which is also well-packaged, they immediately believe it is the best, but that is not particularly true. I said all that to buttress your point and show that I agree with you in a way. Nevertheless, there are many other products and services that will be issued or advertised as free and people will take them so important as though it is premium. A good example is this context of addiction, anything medical or that can fix you is always to your advantage, and once it is free and is for your advantage, why then run away from it?  That's how most people think. Whether they are qualified or not, they are offering help without a cost, so it is a very reasonable choice to give it try.

After all, they have nothing to lose in this situation. Unless the person is so rich and spoiled at the same time, I think it won't make any difference to them whether it is free or paid service.

This is for gamblers who want resources on how to quit gambling I just don't know if they have better resources than what we are used to seeing on YouTube and many articles online and what they have is unique and effective although there is good feedback.
I always maintain if you want a guide or help in quitting gambling it should be personalized based on the needs of the individual, so it should be a one-on-one or a group session and physically present so assess your reaction to the method that your physician or counsel will lay out.

This problem really requires very large financial investments.
 I also think that the casinos themselves are unlikely to sponsor such a program.  For the casinos themselves, such sponsorship is, as they say: “to shoot oneself in the foot.” 
Sponsorship for such a noble cause must still come from some influential charitable foundations or from government organizations, of course, in compliance with the requirements of budget legislation.  Sometimes this is done through a grant system.  But this system is bad because it is, in any case, temporary funding, which usually disappears quite quickly.  These are probably the best options.

I just looked at their website and it seems like they have a free trial for 7 days. You just need to request to them to have a free access.

As to having sponsors like an online casino, I don't think that they will do it because it's against them. I know that the intention of the website is for the gamblers to stop gambling, and if that happens, the revenue of the casino where the gambler is gambling will be affected. I mean if you're the owner, will you a sponsor something that in the future, might affect your revenue because that person might not gamble anymore? I know it sounds like inhumane, but that's how business works. Just my 2 cents only though, but I would love to see OP and the developers of the website having sponsors, but not necessary those online casinos out there.

Anyway, it's good I guess that the website has a 7-day free access for gamblers to have at least a bit of information on how to quit from gambling.

Well the idea would be great but one thing I know about humans and free things is that to some extent, people don't actually value free things that much and that's why if they see as this kind of information as free some won't even use it to not to talk about paying attention, I don't why but some people tend to pay much attention to things that are actually paid for, they it feel it gives a sense of importance.

That's actually a good idea, while they have to generate money in the cause of helping as it's business for them with a good cause. Not all are going to get by to them because of some factors including what you have pointed out. While it is going to be an exposure for the potential sponsor for this kind of service. It can be from other various sectors and industries as well and not limited to a casino only. Because while they're trying to help addicted gamblers to quit, seeing who's the sponsor of it might still give them that trigger that the help came from them and they might have a thought and obligation as a foolish reason to gamble again.

For a few days, it is free but then after the trial period, you have to pay.

Well, from what I've learned previously about this program, I think they are actually offering the services for free, atleast, this is what the op said between the first and second page of this thread when asked if addicted gambler will have to pay to get enrolled into the program.

However, talking about partnerships, op also have stated that the issue of partnership has been the major problem for them since no casino or company they have approached have agreed to partner with them, all this actually was what he said a long time ago at the very beginning of this thread, I don't know if things have changed now, op himself alone is the only one in the right position to tell us.
And if also they have started charging addicted gamblers for enrollment into the program, that I don't know, so I expect op to also address that as well.

While I think that helping people with their addictions is a great cause and you should be applauded for doing so, I think it would be even better if this information and program was available for free.  Maybe you could look into getting sponsored by an online casino to help cover costs or advertise for other positive things like therapy to help generate funds.  I'd imagine someone addicted to gambling is turning to help because they've found themselves in an unsavory financial position.  Being able to provide them with free information to help them would be amazing.  Just some ideas for you.
