Topic: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers - page 21. (Read 3316 times)
I skim through the site and the method for solving addiction is to attack the "pain" which causes a person to gamble in the first place. The less you feel the "pain" then the less likely one to gamble and be addicted to it. It's a personal development in a way with a specific purpose so I guess that's not a bad way to approach it.
The thing there is personal discipline and following principles, this is so important that tou as a gambler holds 90% of the solution to the problem and instead looking for a solution from external places, you should,, first of all be able to tell yourself the truth, after you have measured your level of involvement in the act and making up your mind to quit, regardless.So even though if the site, and the activities within it as listed by the ops aren't able to change your addictions state, you should be able to at least figure out one or two features that will help you in your personal quest to kill gambling addictions.
This is very interesting. I have seen lots of threads here talking about gambling addiction and how to stop it but for the first time I am seeing a website fully dedicated to the course of stopping gambling addiction. Gambling addiction has eaten deep into gamblers that they can not control themselves anymore. It is obvious that some addicted gamblers do undergo therapy before they could be able to break out of gambling addiction and some too even after undergoing therapy, they still see themselves addicted but however OP have fully shown how dedicated he or is to Stop gambling addiction by coming up so this project. I believe addicted gamblers would see this and make use of the opportunity to aid themselves in following the steps provided on the website to ease to ease their gambling addiction.
hence, this site may come in handy for those gamblers here who want to address their addiction for free or those gamblers who are on the verge of addiction. better take care of it early rather than when you are already too deep in your troubles.
as the thread says, free help, so hopefully it will attract gamblers here that are asking for this kind of support. as you said, there are so many threads here already discussing about addiction. so yeah, time to have that kind of free service for these people.
Its totally unlikely or really that not common on seeing free service nowadays on which if there's someone bothered up and making something for the benefit of these gambling addicts then
it is really just that good to know that there are ones who do give that kind of importance on how to resolve out such problem. Most of people on this thread do really tells
about on for it not to work on which there's a point but its not bad to make out these kind of steps either.

Good to see that there is now a resource that admitted problem gamblers can use to turn things around. Credits to you for creating this project and I hope that it is a success in the purpose it is aimed to serve!
...and who might be those that would be against the help of gambling addictions, other than casinos who are crossing the line of greed and disrupting responsible gambling? I would hope you are not referring to any members of the community, as that would be troubling to hear.
Others might not appreciate this type of help that you're doing but you're doing something that will help those that are in dire need of being an addicted gambler.
It's all for free and they will have someone to talk to if they want to at least on chat to maintain their anonymity because most of these gamblers don't want to let others know who they are.
@OP, you're doing a good job with this advocacy. Because in a business perspective, those startups that might have come up with something like this. There is for sure going to be a stream of making money but yours is free and hopefully you'll maintain that continuously and you've got a nice domain, I wonder how much you have acquired it.

This topic about addiction is not an easy topic, addiction is a disease that destroys the life of the addicted person and all other people who are close to the addicted person. Although I congratulate the efforts of your website, still in my opinion just using your website will not be enough for addicted people to cure their addiction. This is because unlike what your website says that to cure addiction you need to achieve happiness, in my opinion for people to cure addiction they need to be admitted to the hospital and away from anything that is making them addicted. for example in the case of a person addicted to gambling
This person needs to be admitted to a hospital, without a telephone, without internet access and without access to any game for months, this person will need to do other things to have fun, only after many months will this person be cured of the addiction. Now, if a person addicted to gambling has a phone with internet access and doesn't go to the hospital and stays on your website, that person won't be cured. that person will continue playing and will destroy his life, as long as an addicted person has access to the thing that causes him addiction, he will never stop the addiction

I wonder how effective this program is. Have there been any testimonies from addicted gamblers who were helped by your platform?
Good question, but it seems that this is just a new platform, so they might not have or maybe few gamblers have reach out to them. And if ever they have, the data is going to be fairly young. But I do hope that the OP will comeback for more data in the future.
Well, I didn't bother to explore more on the website yet, but as per OP they already have a community of +4400 members, so I pressume that it's already an established one as new platform does not easily get that big numbers.
A community with +4400 members
But if for example you want to deal with your gambling problem, you should try it yourself and see how much the impact on you yourself sir.
This is certainly a good opportunity because there are those who provide a platform to solve your gambling problem online and also free, I see the concern of developers here for people who have problems in gambling, if they do this program on a sustainable manner, that is a noble thing.
Why would people do really love on having those kind of judgment in speaking about services offered? Its true that it would really vary on a certain individual about on how things should really be done.
We know that gambling addiction is really that something a very tough problem that cant be easily be resolved out by any app or platforms or counselling or advises or whatsoever.
It would really be that always falls down on someones will and dedication if they would really be that deciding on quitting or else there's no thing on this world that would
really be that something effective but rather it would really be always starting on your own self thought.

In everything that has an advantage, there is always a disadvantage. One can always choose to be on the positive side and continue to gamble responsibly, which will also contribute to his mental growth. Those who choose to turn their gambling life into a hobby instead of doing it for fun are chasing after big wins, which leads them right into getting addicted. Those kinds of people are the reason why most people see gambling as a bad influence.
I think the initiative OP has started is great if it turns out to be effective for gamblers who acknowledge the fact that they are facing problems and want to get out of their addiction. I'm not an addicted gambler, but it will be nice to see an addicted gambler try out the platform and then write feedback about the changes they can see in their life.
I guess this is a new approach that @OP is trying to develop. Instead of testing his level of addiction, we will be asked to test his level of happiness. And I tried the test to see what my level of happiness was.
But unfortunately, we have to register first to see the results. Maybe later, I will decide to register. But I think I can still handle gambling well so I'm not a serious gambling addict.
Thanks for sharing it with us @OP. Hopefully, your site can help people reduce their gambling addiction. They can use your site well and it can provide benefits for them.
I also did the happiness test and actually you can receive the results without registering on the website as it will be sent to your email. I received mine a few minutes after submitting my entry and it came back positive. But unfortunately, we have to register first to see the results. Maybe later, I will decide to register. But I think I can still handle gambling well so I'm not a serious gambling addict.

It's a great platform. I haven't fully check everything but upon visiting the website, it's user friendly and with just few reading, you'll be inspire to quit gambling with the quotes they have. I'm not really into book reading and watching videos and if I was still addicted to gambling, those may have not help me (doesn't mean it won't help others) but having short quotes, and a community to speak with will help a lot for those gamblers who wanted to quit. The only thing I'm searching was if there's any audibles that we can listen to which would be a great addition to the platform.
I changed course from being a casino affiliate to working with problem gambling
Can I ask what made you make that change?
You can find the answer here
https://quitgamble.com/about-us/ From this page you can read the mission, the vision, and Anders Bergman
Founder of QuitGamble.com, I think they should make the About Us page visible on their homepage, people will ask for information about the site and its founder and it should be easily accessible.

That's what I'm thinking too, but for now I'm still observing, though I like the motive intention of the platform. I hope this will help crypto gamblers in this field of business anyway.
Then it's okay; maybe even if we're not in a situation where we already have an addiction, we can still be part of their goal, right? What is the real intention of the owner of the platform that we are talking about?

I just do not understand how a website may help you get rid of a gambling addiction. The people who are addicted to gambling, I am sure their family and friends must have asked to stop the gambling frequency. The people near the gambling addcited must have tried to stop the person from addiction but to no avail. So how come a text website will be able to help get rid of gambling addiction???
Anyways the first thing, they ask you is to have a happiness test. Has anyone given that test? I haven't tried it because it asks for an email address where they will send the result of this test and I am not comfortable given my email address on sites unknown to me.
The same way a psychology's website would help you with depression or other mental illnesses. Its purpose is to provide information on some basic guidelines to acknowledge your addiction and start receiving help, where to look, and so on. This website is unable to make you quit, just like any mental health website is not capable of treating your mental illness. You need professional help from a psychologist to stop any kind of addiction; I don't think someone is capable of managing it on their own. It's not shameful to ask for help, as long as you acknowledge the issue and proceed to receive assistance.Anyways the first thing, they ask you is to have a happiness test. Has anyone given that test? I haven't tried it because it asks for an email address where they will send the result of this test and I am not comfortable given my email address on sites unknown to me.
I'm also curious on what kind of insight the happiness text provides, but I'm not willing to put my email or bother investigating any further, the questions are pretty basic and vague, they need to be reconsidered.

Did you see the URL? QuitGamble.com Which means you should quit gambling.
Yep, it depends on the owner who create this site too.If they're someone who really hate gambling because it's bad, forbidden by many countries and religion, there's no problem to use quitgamble domain.
But if they're someone who being neutral or even support gambling, they should use a better domain e.g. gamblehelp, gambleguide, gamblecontrol, stopaddiction etc.
What I see the domain and content are contradicts each other.
Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share a project that I've been part of. 5 years ago, I changed course from being a casino affiliate to working with problem gambling. It's been a project full of challenges, happiness, tears, and fighting. I wanted to do something different, and I saw how many people struggle.

Sincerely, I looked over the platform and found that the goals are commendable. Others believe it is inconceivable that you could demonstrate, in any way, using this platform, what can be done when one is addicted to gambling.
Additionally, it appears that the platform's theme is sound, and it is open to hearing about any and all stories from gamblers in the cryptocurrency area; it appears that they wish to be involved in it in some way.
