Topic: To quit gambling is to quit yourself - page 27. (Read 2305 times)
I think no, quit in gambling is for better and not to take suicide, some of them wasted because they think that is the best way avoiding financial problem after loosing huge or all of their money and property those people thinking only them selves they have no care about their family. That is why gambling has no good things brings to our life if you can avoid gambling should do it.
It’s hard for me to believe this. How many people have you seen committing suicide? 20?
For me, gambling addiction is a symptom of previous problems. Someone with a good life, with high self-esteem and without any psychological issues, doesn’t get addicted to gambling or whatever. To solve your gambling addiction, you have to solve the previous problems first, and then, quit gambling forever.
Maybe there's a lot of them but its undocumented, they will be counted only as suicide due to personal problems or finances. Last June 2017 a known casino here in our country was attacked by a lone gun man. Burned the tables and took some chips, but unfortunately the law enforcers are quick to follow him and before the law enforcers cornered him, he burned himself to death. After a few days of investigation, it turned out that this guy owes a lot of money amounting to at least $150,000 USD.For me, gambling addiction is a symptom of previous problems.

There's ore of them out there, their stories are not sensationalized in the media or not picked up by the local broad sheet and maybe the family would rather not disclose the exact reason why one of their family member committed suicide and just declare due to depression.
Well, that's good for you if you are now free. Some people don't want to quit gambling, even if they are at the peak or they are down below. It's a self decision and I think it would take you some time if you want to quit because everyone is quitting and not really your decision.
When it comes to suicide, no, just because of debts someone would commit it. There should be a deeper reason, it must be as complicated as hell before someone would end his/her life.

Gambling addicts know that they are destroying their life by losing all those money but yet they still continue to gamble because they have a stupid notion that they are going to eventually win something big one day or another and with that they continue to lose everything.
It is all because they don't want to work hard to earn money instead they want a easy and free money from these gambling games and that's they will keep on playing these games even though they lose a lot of money in gambling. Nothing like that everyone should win at least once in a lifetime big from gambling but it is just our imagination or assumption.

Its not easy to quit gambling, I have to agree that some people commit suicide because of this addiction but for me you cannot do this alone better to have someone that can be on your side in times like this. It takes time to do so, but if you really want to quit gambling you will start right now.
I agree quitting gambling is not easy for some people but committing suicide because you cant face reality that you run out of luck is also selfishness of them, if you can not handle this pressure of losing stop while you have the good thoughts in your head before the evil thoughts get to you, or better still see a psychologist or talk to someone. 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.

For those who have lost everything in gambling suicide isn't a solution, it's just a way to avoid the reality and the responsibilities. These people should just start again from zero, building their patrimony again and stop gambling. I agree with OP's point, addicted ones weren't always addicted, and they should try being who they were before the problems start appearing on their lives. Back to the origins to find the answer for the soul's conflicts.
I am a gambling addict and experienced a ruin especially in the financial field, which I will bear the consequences - not for pity) want to ask for opinions / comments of friends who have been free from gambling or are still struggling / aware of the dangers of gambling and trying to get out of the circle, please share so that we can get the benefits together, at least support each other to be free from anything related to gambling.

Sucide aren't much as op mentioned the issue is only addiction they keep on borrowing and finally they spend rest of their life repaying all the debts and unfortunately even their family has to suffer , quiting gambling isn't hard it's all about forgetting the past and having self control it's easy to say but unless there isn't any initiative from our side change can't take place
I agree with you, To quit gambling addiction, you should have a strong heart and you believe in yourself. That's true that is too hard, but if you have a faith to quit it and you have the initiative from your side, you can quit it. Self controling is too hard/easy for some gamblers, It depends how the gambler think and what is his goal from gambling.
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.
you can not lick a gambler this way. gamblers are badly looked at by the public, but for some gamblers this is not a bad thing, although many say the negative effects of gambling, it can not stop us gambling as long as gambling gives us a big advantage we know when it's time we stop to gamble without your lecture

Nice Post OP .hope more gamblers trust this advice and use it to be cured
Yeah the point must be self conscious and keep trying to advise our self by trying to keep away from gambling driven by other busyness, consult with someone experienced that can forgetting/not touch a gambling.
Indeed it sounds difficult and not as easy as turning our palms, but if we have a really strong intentions, it will work.
There are many reasons why people stop gambling and a various reasons of it, if indeed it has really fatal, I think it would be more push to leaving from gambling.
No, i don't have to quit all about me just to forget or quit gambling for there are many ways to quit gambling without sacrificing one's self maybe all it needs a self discipline and if worst scenario that if we have already addicted then we can find someone that really give advice or if necessary take medication from the prescribed doctor. As for me gambling should not be prioritize and should be threat as recreational activity only and we should not let gambling control us but rather we are the one to control gambling. Indeed it sounds difficult and not as easy as turning our palms, but if we have a really strong intentions, it will work.

thats hard for people who already addicted in gambling and has already have a big depts thats lead them to depression and when they cannot take over the depression they only think suicide is their last resolve.
When gambling is became habit need big commitment and time to stop that habit. But the way we can do is setup the budget for playing.
If we can setup the budget, will not lost more money. When we playing gambling we must control our emotional.
Is hard to quit in gambling, when the player don't have a commitment to stop it !
Setting limits will work for the people who are not addicted to these games and who are just playing for fun. But for the addicted gamblers, all these things will not work out because they always want to play these games. For such people they should completely stop playing these games for some time then only they can forget about this addiction. For that, they need to take some professional help and family members help and try to spend more time on outdoor activities instead of spending more time on a computer.

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!

It is right we have a lot of discuss about this topic and i realize to read you long discussion and in the end, i was right, because i have told in first time, that if we want to quit gambling then we should strong ourself and determined our mind that I wanna quit gambling then it is possible, otherwise just saying that words it will not work. Firstly we should change our routine life and whenever we like to play gambling then do any-other work where we have interest then the day is not far when we are ready in ourself to quit it easily.
