Topic: To quit gambling is to quit yourself - page 15. (Read 2305 times)

It depends on how we perceive the gambling game. From the beginning we are always reminded that playing gambling does have a high risk, but if made into an entertainment then I think it is a natural thing. By playing gambling then we get a satisfaction and it will help our emotional. So think from the beginning whether we are who or not. If we are ready then everything will work out okay and do not take too seriously the opinion of others, because the ones who do it are ourselves.

Honestly it's hard to quit gambling, I have been trying many times but I am still here gambling. 
I am doing my job through online so it's hard for me to resist not to access online gambling sites, maybe we have to do it slowly,
because we can still gamble if we can control and spend only a small amount of money.

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.

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.

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 feel like we will be addicted once we also do gambling, although we convince ourselves that we are just doing fine
but sometimes the sadness in our eyes will appear especially if we are losing a long. I think discipline should be done, if we cannot control
we better stay from gambling and just sacrifice the fun of 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.

Determination is what drive the person whether it is right or wrong If you have determined that you will not waste money in gambling and losing the money from the same day you will stop doing it and instead will utilize it for a better cause or in a better way which can help yourself.

But when he is addicted to something he can't get out from this by only himself the surrounding and medication is also needed to save them,in gambling the condition is much worse they need to realize that they are getting addicted to it that is the first victory from the addiction.

actually, this is what we need after we get lose in gambling but unfortunately, it seems gamblers don't want to know and don't care about this so they still continue to play. I have a bad experience because of continuing in the next round and it's ended up with more losses and I feel really sad and ask myself, why I cannot stop for a while. I think it's because I cannot accept my losses and I want to try another chance which I don't know that the luck is not always on my side.

Losing someone can also be called as a dangerous thing that will possibly happen if you don't limit ourselves to gambling. Yes, it is risky, and having a risky thing in life is too dangerous if we are not responsible enough to handle.

When you end up with losses after losses in gambling, then the best thing to do is to take a short break and to concentrate on something else. I have seen my friends frantically trying to make up for their losses by continuously gambling without a break, and in the end they lose all their money.

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.

I agree with you and also admit that gambling should only be for fun and not for making money. If you become addicted of gambling then it is hard to quit because gambling is like drugs addiction and you will not be able to leave it easily. Gambling should be in limits and if you cross your limits you will be in debts because winning chances are rare.

It's really hard to quit such thing since it has been proven scientifically that it's a disease and is a form of addiction like any other known addictions such as drugs or alcohol .. And quitting something that runs through the veines can turn up to be quite difficult especially for people that haven't strong will and self control .
Quitting gambling is for those who have ruined their lives over it and we do have so many examples of people that are now homeless/jobless/family-less/reputation-less and all what happened to them was caused by gambling , as for people who just have fun with it and consider it as an entertainment tool and not an actual money source it ain't an addiction nor something dangerous that they should get rid of ..
Quitting it needs a lot of self control and i'd advice anyone who's up to it to get some professional help such as seeing a schrink or something , such people will take care of you in a way that your addiction goes away for good and doesn't come back as fast as you find yourself alone again ..
