I believe a person does not need to experience heavy loses to stop gambling for good.  I think it is on a person decision and how determine he is to control himself from gambling.  Though I admit, losing a huge amount of money might be a good reason but to others it is another reason to gambling again (chasing losses).  But at the end it is on the person's determination and decision if he wanted to stop gambling or continue it.

I think we should not reach that situation, losing a huge amount in gambling could affect a lot and it might ruin our good relationship with our family.
Gambling is known to be risky but only for people who are not responsible enough, but when you experience addiction all you need to do is to accept you are weak and you have a problem so you will be able to find solution to quit as early as possible.

It is the fastest way to quit if you experience huge loss. There is no other better way than this because most people will call it the end when they have lose everything. The same thing happened to me and that is what made me change as well. When we have experienced something that made us suffer, that is the breaking point for us to quit

These can be helpful as you must need to divert your attention and just focus on these and little by little you'll find yourself clinging on these.
However, experiencing a huge loss is also best way to quit, when an individual will suffer a huge loss like he can almost loss his family or  his life savings because of gambling then it must be a wake up call for him. That gambling without control can just give you nothingness so quit the unhealthy thing.

Find something to replace your gambling. Exercise, go shopping, go out with friends. You can also watch movie, listen to some music, or do some reading — do whatever it takes to keep yourself busy. You could pick up a new, exciting hobby, like bike racing or climbing.

I think for addicted person it is not possible to quit the gambling because these addicted people will take short term loans to gamble but at last they will end up in loss. For them it is very hard to quit the gambling and they don't have choice to solve their loans taken from the other people.

I saw many people suggesting to gambler that bet huge amount and need help to stop gambling, what they suggest is limit his own bankroll and reduce the amount over period of times, this method will not work seriously. Because of human mentality, casino win on human mentality vs players. Reason is when player win, they feel money is so easy to get and they want to win more, and when they start to lose, they start to bet more and want to recover back their losses.

I will explain below:

once you deposit and loses money, you will have the mentality to deposit more and think of recovering your losses, at this point of time, you already don't want to win profit anymore. you target is just to recover your losses, and you tell yourself too when if I recover all my losses back, I will stop.

But at this point of time, you start to lose more and more, the more you deposit, the more you lose. At this point, devil already control you, you will see nothing beside anger and desperation.

Just ask yourself honestly, how many times have you met with the scenario I describe above, I cannot change human mind, every person have their own thinking, but I wish if anyone read my post, go think of it calmly and if you get what I mean, just quit gambling for good, life is not all about gambling, stop sitting in front of the PC and thinking money will drop from the sky. There is no free lunch in the world, get a stable job, lead a normal and happy life, enjoying good food or even holiday with your hard earn money is even better.

To quit gambling for good is don't deposit even $1 at all, just play with free faucet for fun and and find something else to do other than gambling. Maybe meet up your friends for dinner or movies or playing PC games is another good way.

Best attitude to quiy gambling is controlling yourself to stop playing and try to focus on other things that make your money became more profitable.Its hard but before loosing all your money try to motivate yourself of what you want to be.

I think before getting into the things and finding any other activity that gives you pleasure and make you feel better, what I suggest to this man is to ask your mind, whether it wants to quit or not. Believe me mind is so much powerful that you don’t need any other way or activity for replacement. If your mind says yes, I have to quit it as it is harming me within. You will automatically quitting gambling.

The best way to quit gambling for good is you need to be serious and focus in any things that makes you forget about gambling. Because if you really want to quit gambling for your own goods find something an activity that makes you forget about it. The other way is you better ask for advice of others or opinion so that you can easily know what you can do for your best. Just listen to them and think about your goods. To quit gambling is not really so easy because once you're already addicted its difficult for us to go away from gambling.

It is a very bad condition if you are not that an addicted gambler. But if you are an addicted one then this is a good situation for you because you can have the control to yourself and you are forced not to gamble. Just don't worry about your other needs as long as you are good to have nothing in able to quit your addiction that's fine. Sometimes you have to sacrifice in able to overcome other problems.

It is subjective, some others may think the opposite (worst way). They may think how to get money as soon as possible because they want to gamble. It applies to whose who are addicted already. I could even say that this type of person may come into very bad acts such as try to sell something, getting loan, or even worst they may do criminal to get money for gambling.
Having no money at all is very bad condition even if we are not going to gamble, we need money for other things. So having no money is not good in any conditions, I cant imagine how your life without money for so long time.

No it will not stop us temporarily but it will teach that when we don't have money anymore, we have no purpose and gambling can't help us. This is why if you'll force yourself to have nothing to gamble it will be a helpful thing because you are sure that you can't gamble and it will make you step away in gambling for so long. And if you doesn't have money for a long time then that's better, you are gradually quitting and doing it.

Have no more money to gamble will force us to stop gambling for a temporarily time only. As soon as we have another money, we will start to gamble again. That's what I got from my own experiences. But if we conscious about our previous condition, face the situation without money because of gambling, and regret it sincerely maybe there will be a chance to quit gambling for good.
