Topic: To quit gambling is to quit yourself - page 20. (Read 2305 times)

No it's not a sign of a weak person, I'm sure with the lord and support of a close person, we can stop gambling quickly. Humans are social beings, we live together and need help from others. If anyone can ask for help, why not?

Well even if the people around you will excert efforts to help you out, just like what the title indicated, it's all going to be about you. Once you've become so addicted, it will take tremendous determination to ne able to recover. You have to really want it for yourself.

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 agree. I was also losing a lot of money before and even though I thought of quitting, the impulse to play was still there - that is why I really understand how others find it really difficult to quit. It was only when I finally realized that I already have a son and that I need to take care of his future when the realization and the greater urge to finally quit kicks in and the rest is history

Quit gambling is the best choice, because gambling is not good for our self. We can lose more money in gambling if we addict in gambling, can't control our emotional in gambling and can't control the budget for play. Quit gambling is not easy for addict people, but must do it for better future.

For gamblers who are still difficult to control themselves, should stop gambling, but for gamblers who are used to control themselves, it can still continue to gamble as long as it is still disciplined in doing so. Gambling is both bad and good depending on how we do it.

It is not everyone that sees gambling that way. A lot of people have opened topics about profiting from gambling like it is some investment that would just keep raking in cash for them and that is how it all starts. It is actually easy for us to say they can quit all by themselves, but in the real fact, it is either they make that determination and have someone to assist with that. Addiction is a crazy thing, and it is always hard to quit alone.

It's not going to be easy even the addicted gambler wants to. He should have a support system like parents or family that will make him stronger mentally and emotionally so that he can fight the urge of gambling and finally end that worst chapter of his life.

When I was new in gambling and I keep losing, I always thought of quitting for good but I was not able to do it and until
now I am still surviving but the good thing now is that I am more matured and I know how to gamble based on my limit.
I also understand that I have less chance to win so I just enjoy it and forget my losses.

When you formed that habit, whether it is gambling or any other things, you will really having hard time to change it.

Yes it was really hard to quit where we are addicted. Once we get addict from one thing it was like part of our daily life now. Yes at first gambling was funny and enjoying, but as the time goes by and you put your time here it will slowly get you. Get your time and your money as well. Only few become rich because of gambling most of them fail and lose lot of their money, because even you win as you continue playing it, it can be get from you again.

Only week people need the support of other people. If you really have a strong personality including a strong willpower and determination with the will to no giving up easily, then you surely will get out of addiction. It is not wrong to get help from others, but why do you need to get one if you can solve it on your own? You have a brain, you have a free will. You can use it and change yourself like you change others with words.

Yeah, but quitting is the only way to have a better future and to save money. There is no reason for anyone to continue to play gambling if he is losing most of the time, he must be smart and considering all the things before he decides what to do next in gambling. I've witnessed myself losing a lot of money in gambling, and continuing is so confusing to do that is why I've decided to quit gambling instead and try another way to earn money.
