all start from self, environment also influence. when we are in a gambling environment and we can not control ourselves, we are still stuck in the same circle. we must really get out of that environment and promise ourselves to stop gambling.
Very valid point. Company matter a lot. If someone will spend more time around gamblers, he will first get this habit from them and then become its addict. It is same as how smokers are created. Most of the times, other people force individuals to harmful acts and persuade that this experience is going to be something out of the world, a feeling that they have never felt in their life before. 
Topic: To quit gambling is to quit yourself - page 14. (Read 2313 times)
Quiting gambling when you are already addicted into it is almost suicidal. This was the negative part about it, On the other hand, quiting gambling is quiting your toxic life. Stoping your greedy self and start a new one. Every person has a chance to change and i see it as a positive way.
Yes it all depends on ourselves, when we want to stop playing gambling then we must have a sense of desire from ourselves to start stopping and consider gambling is a bad and useless action. I honestly think that gambling game is a bad thing and not useful, that I admit because I've played gambling and no results. In fact I suffered losses and if not stopped then gambling game will be able to destroy our lives. Start with yourself and believe that there is something much better and produces for us to do. The gambling game is performed only by desperate people and does not think that the future will determine its future.
I think it depends more on the circumstances than the gambler himself because the gambler will never leave gambling if his gambling is going very good. It’s in human nature that he remains attached to everything until or unless he is satisfied with it and due to this nature, never think that gambler will leave gambling. However, if he will lose more in gambling than winning, he will leave gambling very soon.It's because we become greedy, we win sometimes but we never get contented so in the long run we lose more money which we cannot afford anymore.
Everything begins with intent. If you want to stop gambling, start from now round our determination and willingness to be able to stop from this misleading game. If we have a strong determination, it can be the main capital and strength to be able to escape forever from gambling.
In some cases, individual effort will not be enough. One might need medications in such a case. Another option is individual therapy. In this process, the addicts are taught about the ill effects of problem gambling and how it has ruined the families of other gambling addicts in the past.
True, but that means that gambler have weak willing to stop gambling. Also, aside from medications/therapy, finding new healthier hobby or find new job/focus on work are more effective to fix any kinds of addiction and cheaper/faster IMO.
Everything begins with intent. If you want to stop gambling, start from now round our determination and willingness to be able to stop from this misleading game. If we have a strong determination, it can be the main capital and strength to be able to escape forever from gambling.
If nothing helps, you can take professional help. There is also a group therapy program where counselors help these people with their doubts and queries. They are also made to talk with other gambling addicts who have successfully come out of the addiction. You should choose a reputed service for this purpose even if it costs a little extra.

Guys, I know that many of you have already discussed this issue regarding quitting gambling as it is addictive, and I know that this thread is just like any other one. But forgive me because I am really sick of seeing people committing suicide because they are in big debts. I would like to speak my mind.
All people have different minds like gambling for them are for fun or to earn big or this is for past time so i think the meaning of gambling are risk for fun,earn and past time,So better to prepare yourself in that situation and killing yourself by that is so unpredictable because there's no assurance in gambling but only a chance

So when you come to know gambling is harmful for you, just ask your mind to start hating gambling, everything would be good then.

Gambling can become a kind of avoidance to certain feelings and people get hooked on the instant rush of a win and reliant on this to avoid other negatives in their life. The addiction is especially negative where it starts to create or add to the negatives that they were trying to avoid to begin with. Where someone steals to gamble perhaps, they are on a downward spiral.
I do think these people need help to realise they have made a misstep and need to turn back and go a different direction, there are some groups which try to help but its hard to unlearn bad habits like this.
The Manilla case is especially terrible and suggests he should have got help a long time before somehow.

Investigators discovered Mr. Carlos’s identity early Sunday morning, after interviewing the taxi driver who had picked him up near his home in the San Lazaro neighborhood of Manila and driven him to the casino.
So pathetic, dont be a dumbass like this with no respect for anyone or yourself even. It takes a bigger man to just admit a mistake, quitting or whatever I give way more kudos to anyone who can handle themselves even as a loss. Everything begins with intent.

But forgive me because I am really sick of seeing people committing suicide because they are in big debts. I would like to speak my mind.
So, guys. Quitting gambling has to be done by quitting yourself. What I mean by that statement is that you should no longer be yourself or what you are. You are now a man of greed and addiction. Who was the person you were before you start gambling? Perhaps you were addicted to something else. Perhaps you were just a normal man living a normal life. Now you are a different person. What I want you to do is that you should be aware that gambling too much will make you lose yourself. Second off, you should sit with yourself and write down the negative effects of gambling. Do not be like "What if I win next time, what if I get lucky next time." No, that is not you who is talking but your greed. Do not give yourself false hopes because "What if" is a term used to talk about unreal action in the past or the future. You can neither change the past nor be accurate about what future will be like.
Then you should practice positive self-talk. Fill yourself with positiveness. Have a strong willpower and determination because believe me, once you are committed to something, you will attain it. If you want to give up gambling, then you can do it because other people and I gave it up.
I used to gamble a lot with my friends and I would be lying if I said I did not learn many things. But the negative effects overcame the positive ones. I took a decision to stop gambling. I filled my time with various activities. In time, I started to forget about gambling. It is like moving on. If you want to move on, get yourself from the routine you used to be in. Your brain is functioned about a certain routine. You will find it hard to adapt to the new routine, but believe me, in time you will get used to it.
I hope you guys achieve what you aspire. And I hope this thread will help you, even though I am sure I am going to get negative feedback. But it is okay, I am open to everything. Have a lovely day, Hadoooken!

I will update my reply for this post later.
That is a very one long true message you have there. It would not be that hard to quit gambling if you would only be dedicated and true to yourself, I mean, if you promise to yourself that you are not goin to play gambling anymore, then don't do it even though others are tempting you to do it. Sticking to your plan on quitting is going to motivate you that you could do it, and try other things might do helps you also.

Sad to say but he is a police officer.
Forgive me if I drop here a link just to share.

While early avoids this kind of addiction to gambling.
I believe that what can be done to be a gamblers quit,they must have a circle of people that is don't engaged to gambling and will give them diversions to find another things to enjoy and earn but not to gamble

True, those people who are addicted on gambling that much must need some space, they need to go to some place where they are far on the gambling world so that they can clear their mind and see other things other than gambling. Quitting gambling is quitting the worst version of yourself and welcoming the better one, it might be the hardest thing to do in the first place but it would be good for you in the long run.
Dude we concern about relationships but gamblers don’t. Reason is, they always be confused in their lives. They never know what they are doing and whether this is right or wrong. Still in this race of gambling, somehow they become restricted with the money thing. Ultimately their families and friends and other relationships are just ending. They never know this fact until everything just ruined up.
All they think is to gamble, the relationship is only the second number in his life. My point is that when gamblers do not gamble they will put relationships first when something happens, but if gamblers are gambling then their focus is on gambling, a relationship they will remember after gambling. But this situation only happens to some gambling addicts, the rest they will deliver the family he has to satisfy the desire for gambling. 
Yes, I agree, there is somewhat the gambling is dangerous to us if we don't limit ourselves in playing into it. Sometimes limiting ourselves can also help us still maintain our life while playing gambling. Maybe it also depends on how responsible the person itself.
gambling is not dangerous because it is only game that meant to be played. Gambling cannot possibly harm you in any way , that is why i can say that gambling isnt dangerous but rather it is risky because there is always a risk of loosing. ( e.g loosing your cash , loosing your loved ones , loosing valueable things, etc ) but that risk can be minimized if only we can control or limit our selves but that is the only problem because having a self control is actually pretty hard to achieve.
Losing someone is more worst than losing your money in gambling, if you are too addicted on gambling then you are not going to notice that you are losing someone important in your life. Quitting gambling is not quitting yourself, it is for your own good and for you to see rvery little things in life is important.
