The important thing for me is to know your limits - you have to know when to stop when you're losing, and when you're winning when to pull back and enjoy it.

Most players lack the capability to maintain limitations for a duration of time, they can forget the strategy when the casino offers some tricky wins. Your advice is useful for players with self confidence and resilience in disciplinary matters. A single win is enough to deceive an easily distracted player, who sticks to limiting how long they gamble and how much is spent. So, it's fine for players to understand who they are and what method will be convenient to keep or retain.

Although we previously planned the amount of money we would spend in gambling, it can actually change when we are immersed in gambling and continue to think if a little more we will win, having limits in gambling is important but sometimes we do not realise that we have destroyed the limits themselves Grin

.

Discipline and the ability to stop at the right time, both when winning and losing, is one solution to maintain balance and avoid big losses, with a clear strategy and sticking to the limits that have been set can certainly help us avoid impulsive decisions.

All matter on how you would really be that making yourself having such control at the time or moment that you do gambling on which we know that every each of us does have that different level of tolerance and control when it comes into specific situations on which it will really be that vary on how lucky we would be. Recovery from addiction isnt something that a simple thing that a certain addicted person do able to do so. There would really be those tough challenges on which these people will really be having that kind of temptation on playing even more specially if the cant be able to resist on doing so. Journey on recovery isnt something that would really be that so easy because extreme discipline and control where someone does put up into their mind in order for them to stop such gambling activity.

There are only two possible outcomes for this one on which it will really be just that those who do able to get out from addiction and to those who wont be able to do so then it would really be that continous for them to lose up even more money because they cant really just that able to resist on playing further. It will really be that up to you on how you do gonna handle yourself on such condition.

A single win is enough to deceive an easily distracted player, who sticks to limiting how long they gamble and how much is spent. So, it's fine for players to understand who they are and what method will be convenient to keep or retain.

Exactly, and maybe I will say one of the reasons why it is always difficult for them to maintain the various plans that they have made before that lead to limitations, the reason is only one, namely they cannot maintain awareness and also most likely they do not realize that gambling is full of temptations, as you said that one win can divert all attention, and even if you are not the one who managed to get it and you only hear about other people's wins, it can actually affect your approach to gambling, all of that happens because of the obsession and enthusiasm for winning.

So I think that no matter when and even if for example you already understand the concept of gambling I am sure that there will always be a time for you to get trapped or fall because you see temptation, but if for example from the beginning you already know about the possibility then it should not happen to you too often, because you already recognize the signs.

Gambling and betting constantly remind us of themselves from all sources. This includes advertising on the Internet and on TV (in the country where I live, gambling is prohibited, but betting is allowed), so in Prime Time, there are often cheerful calls to play gambling games. Also, on my smartphone, I constantly see gambling and betting ads, especially on sites that are not shy about any advertising and are ready to advertise even very bad betting organizations.
And because of all this, it is very difficult for a problem gambler to overcome his addiction. And it often happens that his friends often talk about their winnings.

Well yes, that's right, I agree with your opinion, my friend, and that does happen, or what I mean is that many gamblers initially build a lot of planning that leads to prevention, such as setting limits on the amount of money to be bet, but in the end, it is often like you said, which is they themselves who thwart all these plans, and usually the trigger is because they are too serious in responding to the opportunity to win so that they fall and get carried away in various excessive actions.

On the other hand, I think this is the importance of us as gamblers to always maintain awareness in ourselves, or what I mean is to maintain an understanding of what and how the basic concept of gambling is, especially in terms of winning or losing, as you said that we should have the ability to stop at the right time, whatever the situation, such as stopping when winning or losing, and the key I think is as I have said above that we must first have a proper basic understanding of the concept of gambling and after that maintain a level of awareness so that you can control the indications that can lead you to excessive or impulsive actions.

From the topic «how would I gamble if I have $1 budget per day», I personally came to conclusion that if I gamble with little money, I will never taste the taste of big wins. Since I dont believe tha someone might be ever fully recovered from gambling, playing little budget, but sticking to it might help not to go wild and do uncontrolled gambling like previously.

We can agree that people are different, every person has a different personality, different environment, and capacity to gamble with a bigger budget. Personally, when I decided to quit gambling, I didn't think at all about lowering my budget or gamble less often than what I use to. Knowing and accepting my personality which is addictive one, I know that if I even started to gamble once again, I may cause go with higher budget and spend more time. I don't want to fall in this trap again.
So for now at least I keep my safe away of any bad thoughts that can push me to my addiction a d troubles once again. Recovery is a long journey and take more than patience or time but changing totally yourself.

Finally you replied to me. I really wish to know how you hand your recovery, when from your posting history, only gambling is around you. Shouldnt it be better to barrier completely from gambling? But I see only gambling-gambling-gambling that you post about. Dont you think that you risk a lot, when you have surrounded yourself with gambling? Because only few clicks and seconds separate you from return.

Recovery from gambling addiction is not easy as we must really have a strong will to say no to ourselves to return to gambling and we must have many activities to distract our minds. But those who addicted to gambling will not have the same recovery process because that will depends on their gambling addiction level.

Indeed, recovering from addiction won't be easy because it must take times and some process. It also requires a strong will and discipline, these are 2 important factors as well. Anyway, I agree with you, the treatment for the addicts can be different. It will depend on the level of the addiction. If it is still a light addiction, it may no need further treatments from the doctors or experts. But for severe addiction, it must be handled by experts or doctors.

The desire from within ourselves to stop gambling is the first step and the main key to overcoming the gambling addiction that befalls us, besides that we need support from friends and family so that at least we can awaken mentally from the downturn, in addition to being a talking partner for release every thought that we have been hiding, because the support of the closest people can of course also be a determining factor in success for us to release the addiction, In my opinion, getting rid of addiction is not something easy, but we should be able to do it to keep our finances and worse risks occurring in future.

Every process of quitting gambling is always a heavy obstacle to return to normal. However, if the belief is strong to stop gambling, it may be said to be successful but not 100% at least reduce the activity. Maybe can still gamble but only as entertainment and not make it the main thing anymore if you are already aware of logic. Because gambling if you understand until logic they consider it entertainment there is no more hope to win

Gambling addiction isnt something that would really be so simple for you to get out on which this is something that you must really be that very careful at the time or moment that you will really doing gambling. Each person does have that different level of tolerance and patience towards unfortunate conditions such as on the thing that you will experience loses on where it do mainly causes up on trying out to break even on which on this case then you will definitely be trying out to deposit more for you to be able to break even on what you have lost. This will definitely the thing that comes up into your mind when you do play gambling. On the moment that you do play gambling then make it sure that you should be that minding about having some fun and entertainment and expect with those loses that will happen because it is really the part of it. If you cant be able to control yourself on such urge on playing gambling then this is really a solid sign that you are already addicted to it. Only a few could be able to recover on such addiction on which most of them do end up on seeking up some professional help, some do getting imprisoned because of doing some crimes and some people do end up on sleeping on the streets or totally broke. These are the potential situations that will happen into your life.

one of the fatal results of addiction I always imagine being those who are in prison, sleeping on the streets who no longer have anything. I just imagine it is very painful if we experience that. therefore must be able to control yourself so as not to be carried away by the great current of destruction so as not to become one of them. to recover from gambling addiction it is very difficult to get out of that zone, because of the large amount of money lost they do not let go of the money until chasing victory comes again. this concept is very dangerous if are not ready to accept the risk

To accept defeat and forget about your losses does not mean that you are weak or a loser, because you are doing it for your health sake in order for you to have a stable mindset. If you don't want to let go of your losses, it means that you will wallow in addiction and there will be no way out. An addicted gambler needs to quit gambling before he can come out from addiction.

The healing medicine that I did had to accept the loss of money that would not be returned. and I won't chase him back. because the more I chase losses to get my money back the more money I will lose. therefore I had to give up all the money for the sake of my family and myself. It may start out painful to get back to normal but over time everything will get better and don't want to be stuck in one zone

I agree with what you said, because there is no doubt that with the many people who gamble, they often experience problems where they do not have discipline or limits in their behavior towards gambling. Of course, for players who do have good self-control, they will know when to stop gambling, whether when they lose or win they will be able to stop because in my opinion people like this consider gambling as just a means of entertainment.

People who consider gambling as a means of entertainment, I think they will be able to maintain their perception of their views on gambling, but that does not rule out the possibility that they will experience a loss of control once in a while, they may lose control.

I just want to tell you to keep your spirit and remain consistent in healing yourself first, because healing addiction independently is very difficult, especially if you still do gambling, even though by limiting the budget and so on will still be easily influenced by an emotional atmosphere , because your emotions are still very accustomed to your character who is still addicted to gambling, this healing requires dedication, requires seriousness and requires consistency, my advice you fast not to gamble for actors who you think are enough and feel much better in the future on addiction you have.

Yep, someone might not able to quit completely, so they need to start from little. Even @OP is back to gamble, but as long as he reduce the frequency and the money he spent, he should be alright.

Yes, hopefully what he hopes for. Therefore it is very important to support him where he has lost more in gambling because his addiction is therefore better in my opinion not to touch gambling first because gambling can trigger him to do it again, he may return if his emotional can be controlled again regularly by Himself, because sometimes the rules we make, are violated again, and that is a common thing and should not be done in the healing period.

I’m not experiencing addiction but by simply stumbling to a post about bonuses and different casino promotions makes me want to gamble although I can fully control my urge so what’s more to the one that has addiction problem.

Yeah the best solution is to stop anything related to gambling including quit signature campaign, but @OP has a loan that he need to pay and signature campaign is one of his source, so he has no choice for now.

That is the most difficult thing to do, to know your limits and to stop for a period of time when you are presented with a win after so many lost rounds and gambling sessions. I know personally as I have not been playing with money of my own from more than 3 weeks or 1 month or more don't remember that well as I think I am healed from addiction. For many people though it is very difficult as we are human beings and emotions play a big part in the decision we make, so most people led by emotions want to get their money back and as a result they get in an even worse situations than that of their initial one. It is not impossible to come out of this, yet extremely difficult for real.

In addition to your input here. The extra difficulty for user that experiencing gambling addiction here in the forum is the constant appearance of gambling every time they browse since he is part of signature campaign that requires gambling board post.

I’m not experiencing addiction but by simply stumbling to a post about bonuses and different casino promotions makes me want to gamble although I can fully control my urge so what’s more to the one that has addiction problem.

Being not addicted as much as possible is the best way to fight addiction because there’s a lot of temptation here once you are already battling addiction.

Never exceed the budget limit that you have for gambling because if you follow your desires then there will be no end to it in gambling so I myself always set a budget both large and small, the important thing is that there is a determination.

When problems occur as you have experienced where there are many defeats and this drains time and thoughts during the defeat, I will also need a break to recover, but now it is much better after shrinking the budget for gambling so it does not become prolonged stress.

The important thing for me is to know your limits - you have to know when to stop when you're losing, and when you're winning when to pull back and enjoy it.

Tons of factors will really be that affecting on someones situation when it comes to various aspect specially on gambling addiction. There are indeed things that will affect out along the way and the most common will really be self control and discipline. Recovery from addiction wont be easy yet this will really be that trying to combat that addiction inside you specially if you've been dealing up with gambling for a very long time then it will really be just that hard for you to have such trying out to stop on point. Its really good that OP did made it out on stopping gambling addiction on which this isnt really that easy.
Recovery journey wont really be that easy but its not something impossible if you do really wanted to quit up gambling for good.

I'm sure you're not alone here, or I mean it's not just you who experiences something like that with a really crazy approach to gambling, and honestly I myself have also experienced that situation where it's really hard for me to ignore any time without gambling, even when I'm doing other activities I often mix it with gambling like slots or dice and of course the impact can affect other activities that we have, and also yes of course what will happen is like what you said that every money we have will usually be lost in a short time, because when you are in that situation then when you have some money then usually the first thing on your mind is to use it to gamble and this is what makes people have difficulty meeting their needs, and this is also what makes someone have problems due to using money for other needs on gambling and ultimately regretting it, believe me that it is a situation that really causes a lot of stress in you.

Well it's not just an usual behaviour it's mutual infact almost everyone who participate in gambling can testify of gambling more than they can handle. at some point in gambling especially when you begin to see profit more than losses you always have the urge to get more bags through gambling than ever but it's very important to find yourself before it becomes too late. A lot of you guys who became almost addicts did that because you couldn't find anything wrong in your behaviour in the first 2 weeks of consistent gambling. So encourage giving family or close once the consent to check you out when they begin to see changes and with this it will help you get of addiction when it begins to hit you.

I think most of them will find that they are too late, usually that situation will lead them to awareness and that does happen to most gamblers who were initially addicted including myself where I managed to achieve that awareness after I experienced various serious financial setbacks that caused significant pressure on me. On the other hand, it is actually quite difficult to help gamblers who have gambled from the start based on misunderstandings, such as misunderstandings in responding to what and how gambling actually is which ultimately makes them too serious in placing their hopes on winning, so it is actually difficult to advise them to put many restrictions and caution in gambling if basically their intention and goal is to seek many wins because after all all the actions they will take will definitely follow the desires and beliefs in their minds, another thing is yes your idea is quite good by suggesting us to tell the closest people so that they can make us aware when we are finally addicted but unfortunately not everyone can have that mindset, my friend.

From the topic «how would I gamble if I have $1 budget per day», I personally came to conclusion that if I gamble with little money, I will never taste the taste of big wins. Since I dont believe tha someone might be ever fully recovered from gambling, playing little budget, but sticking to it might help not to go wild and do uncontrolled gambling like previously.

We can agree that people are different, every person has a different personality, different environment, and capacity to gamble with a bigger budget. Personally, when I decided to quit gambling, I didn't think at all about lowering my budget or gamble less often than what I use to. Knowing and accepting my personality which is addictive one, I know that if I even started to gamble once again, I may cause go with higher budget and spend more time. I don't want to fall in this trap again.
So for now at least I keep my safe away of any bad thoughts that can push me to my addiction a d troubles once again. Recovery is a long journey and take more than patience or time but changing totally yourself.

Because there is a thin line between getting fully recovered from addiction and continue gambling a little after taking some measures to fight with gambling addiction. Like with OP, he has said that he has recovered, yet we see him in gambling section. So far he is strong and keeps his past addiction closed. Or he will be always be strong to keep his addiction away.

Does addiction actually lesves us? Maybe it depends on the degree of the addiction because normally addiction is supposed to ease us when we have introduced different aspects that will aid us and increase our discipline to the level when addiction can easily leave us.
There are people that are still suffering from addiction and we ought to help them especially when they are in their conscious mindset.
Recovering from addiction is not really the problem because I have seen many people that had testified that they don't have addiction of one or two particular things while later going back to it.

Possibly addiction will stay inside forever, and waits until something triggers its return. I dont want to look like a person who loves dig in one persons dirty laundry, but take a look on OP posting history. Even though he fights with addiction and talks about his recovery, a lot of his posts are still gambling related. Right now he isnt gambling, but he is walking on the edge of a blade. Maybe he is only posting in gambling section and does nothing gambling related IRL, but being close to gambling when you are on a process of recovery might not be good.

Maybe it's because we often hear that if we want to escape gambling addiction, we also need to quit gambling as well. But OP's situation is different; he's still active, which makes us wonder if he could slip back any moment. It might be wrong, but I believe that just because we're still gambling doesn't mean we're addicted. Maybe OP is showing us how to balance staying away from addiction while actively gambling.

Well, for me, once you are a gambler, it always remains in your heart, even if you are not gambling anymore. I really hope that is the case, otherwise, OP might just be spinning us an unrealistic story.
