Topic: To quit gambling is to quit yourself - page 28. (Read 2305 times)

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.

Its really bringing yourself back to the old times when you are more happier in the little things. Gambling makes people like this because of their greed that controls their emotion. Its not too late to change your lives don't quit to yourself instead make yourself better and do the right thing. I know someone are now undergo on this trial, I wish you a success and life must go on.

I respect your opinion but this is to contradict your statement. Previous problems may be one of the causes of an addiction though Gambling addiction is a mental issue. There are people that don't have any problems they just wanted to have some fun but after few visits and without knowing or noticing it, addiction already took over their system. There are a lot of people which you have stated that has a "Good life, with High self-esteem and without any psychological issues" or whatever that are addicted to gambling, I've been in a rehab program before and most of my rehab mates are let's say "living the life". How did they become addicted to gambling? At first, it's just for entertainment and/or fun (like I said) but things got out of their hands and started to waste money to the point that they are in big debts.


It's easy to say than done. Like I said some don't have previous problems, though one must help themselves so that the tools available can expedite the recovery of an addicted person.

You should really think of this thing on where you will come back to the yourself when you still havent known about gambling.Doing back into those things which isnt related to it. Temptation is there which would make this job will even more harder but if you can able to make it out then it will really benefit you since you can avoid possible consequences that you will suffer if you decide to proceed into your addiction.

This is just really like as if you were moving on thing that you had committed since you had already made a mistake then you should completely stop when you are already compromising your financial and with our own minds if you would really be serious on commanding it or to think off that you must stop then it can really completely stop without hesitation and this would already matter on your strong self control.Just follow on what you are aiming for which is quitting and your actions would do the rest.

Not quitting yourself  but you have to be yourself before you know the gamble. You have to remember what activities you did when you were not a gambler. And if you remember, you have to do it all again, you have to live your life just like before you became a gambler.

It happens when you do not have a self control and it may be related to anything in life and just gambling. It is very important that one has a stable mindset and know what they are doing. This will help to lead a personal life in a better way and such extreme step which people take may not even they just be thinking of in their life.

Gambling is a type of fun and many people have much interest in gambling they do this all the time and if they quite gambling then they will start other games i would like to play gambling like the dice and other playing cards just for fun because with this we can meet with different type of people work together and if you are bore to it then you can quite this as well. It is just like other games you may win in this and you can lose also in this game. do your best and don't be attach with a thing so you will not addicted to that.

I have heard news related to this, yes, many people not only got suicide some of them get violent when they are lost big in gambling.
Here our country there is a casino which is attack by addict gambler after he got lost everything he went home and back bringing a deadly weapon. 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.

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.

You are right mate in order to quit gambling you need to quitting yourself in doing this because addiction in gambling is really hard to quit there are times that you are finding to play gambling.

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.

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.

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!
