I play but do not depend, I can easily interrupt the game. And if you are addicted it does not matter why you should throw it and be treated
If you can interrupt the game easily that's good for you, not everyone has that type of attitude that they can interrupt themselves while they gamble. You want to say that you don't have to quit because you can stop yourself whenever you want? 
Topic: To quit gambling is to quit yourself - page 5. (Read 2305 times)
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!
Waoo this is a nice post and I really enjoyed every bit of it. Gambling is highly addictive and because of this another mind is giving to us and we do actually change our personalities. I pray I should be able to change every bad habits I have and that another mind be giving to me about gambling and betting. So, guys. Quitting gambling has to be done by quitting yourself.

I play but do not depend, I can easily interrupt the game.
You mean you leave the game in between ? That does not sound very practical if money is stake. You should not start the game at first place if there is time constraint. I have had been forced to leave games in between but it was only because of things out of my control.
You are right - just like in trading, you should also have pre-planned betting strategies and stick to it no matter what. This is a way to combat being too emotional in gaming because all you have to do is follow your pre-bet plan.

After loosing in gambling people situation will be in a dilemma and thinks negative about gambling but after some days again they will start gambling with fresh money. It is impossible to control ourselves after addicting to it.
This is very true. Once we got our money from the payment of work or from something else, you will back to gambling and use the money to gambling. To be honest, it's really hard to quit gambling.

Each individual person is different and the very person who knows your deeply is no other than you yourself. Hence, if you find yourself easily hooked on things that you love doing - whether a good one or bad, you know for a fact that when you indulge to gambling for that matter, you will easily get hooked as it is really addicting.
Better stop once and for all if you have the tendency of easily get hooked and better spend something productive for you and for your loved ones because you can't go wrong when you get hooked that way.

Yes, mistakes are the stepping stones to success because everybody knows that gambling is very risky, while gambling it is impossible to make profits because gambling is very risky. We have learned from our mistakes in order to overcome those by not gambling again and again.
Mistakes are said to be the stepping stone but most of the people are having a lot of mistakes but are still not doing anything that will help them surpass that mistake. Gambling can generate profits, it is not impossible, it is just a high of a risk near to the word impossible unless we are talking about a business.
To overcome our problems, we need to face it not avoid since we will be making more problems at our hands if we avoid it in the future.
Yes, it is an addiction and it is hard to quit gambling if you can't set up limit.
Setting up a limit if you are addicted to things is really hard. When you experienced getting addicted to something, you are the one finding a way to do what you are addicted with. For example, you are busy doing the projects that you're company is doing and you don't have time to gamble, most of the time this kind of people find a way like he's sick or their family is sick and he will be the one taking care of it. You can't just stop gambling from setting some limits, you must first realized how deep you are in on wasting your money instead of using it for some things that can really help you.
Well said. All gambler knows it well that they are wasting their money. Cause they know they will end up with lose. But gambler always search for hope to win big. They wait for a miracle. That's why they are addicted to it.

I really believe that in order to rid yourself of addiction, you have to rid yourself of the things that made you go to that addiction in the first place. Gambling addicts are coping with their problems by gambling. Same as how alcoholics are coping with their problems by drinking. They have to fix the problem, the true root of this addiction, in order to rid themselves of addiction.
Abstinence is not necessarily the solution for gambling. Making yourself too busy doing something in order to fix your addiction is just adding another layer of you avoiding to address and fix the underlying problems that have led you to this addiction. Think of this problem-solving thing going on as a form of self-respect; a form of self-love, and eventually you will have the courage to face these problems that you have been avoiding ever since.
Either that or develop a healthier coping mechanism.

Gambling and investing are almost the same but with different reasons and goals. In gambling, we mostly gamble to gain profit easily that don't really happens since gambling is not really a good source of profit.
Investing is not that really the same risk as gambling since you can look at information and possibilities of crypto currencies you want to invest in, your goal is to earn money but not easily since you are also risking your money and basing it in your assumptions and calculations.
Quite gambling is quite yourself isn't right always. It's depends on your choice. Just stay patient and take a break from gambling life. Then meet & enjoy with other people. It may help some to quite gambling.

When you have so much money on your hand or your wallet, you will think to gamble it.When gambling already become our daily routine it will be hard to leave it even after we faced a bad situation because of it. If we can't control our own attitude, we may need help from others to control our behaviour, it can be from our family members or from our close friends.
You have to get rid of any things, especially gambling, if they prevent you from living a normal life.
I don’t think so, because there are many other things for entertainment and enjoyment, why just gambling? If you want to gamble for fun and think that if you quit gambling you will never enjoy your life, it is totally nonsense. Regular gambling will destroy your life and your family as well. Don’t consider gambling as a business, it is not for making money. You can also say that quitting gambling is also living onto the real world, it's not just simply quitting onto yourself, but I do understand what you want us to think, gambling is a kind of drug actually, it's addictive, risky and can deplete your finances and budget, if you go way too far it is either you'll win everything or lose everything you have and will result in depression, after depression it can result to suicide, which is a thing that no one wants to happen right? If you are an addict at gambling try to put 50% in your safe, instead of going all-in with your money, remember, quitting gambling is not only by quitting yourself, it is also living, making money the right way, we just have to accept the fact that we cannot only rely on our luck.
Advance thinking huh. Well, that is possible that an addictive gambler will lead to depression because of losses resulting in financial problem. Always remember, play only what you can afford to loss to avoid those things to happen.
Gambling should be played with moderation. It should be us the players who will play not gambling to player over us. Money that will be used to play should only be those that are excess funds or else it will drive the player not to quit until losses are fully recovered. Its not suppose to be a money making venture but only to entertain.
Yes, even with that moderation, it should be played without expecting anything in return and anyone who simply cannot do with that, should simply not gamble at all.
The thing with gambling and gamblers is that they always expect that gambling is really going to be giving them a lot and then forgetting the part where it can actually take a lot away from them but rather decided to get engrossed in the winning part until the idea of moderation, reasoning and realism becomes a hard thing to achieve for them.
