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.
As in the statement one needs to spend on gambling the excess funds that he has apart from his living expenses. This will not affect the living of respective users at any instance. There are people who have spend their tuition fee on gambling and suffered to recover. Such situations should not prevail, the control is in our hands.

The will to quit gambling is always being beaten by addiction. No matter how you wanted to quit in gambling, if you really get addicted, you will return even if you have stopped for how many days, weeks, months, years. There is a time that you will go back to your habit.
Right, I myself tried diverting my focus to other more important things, but still end up gambling. I can't even control myself sometimes.

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.......
I've seen some people give up their reputation and friendships due to gambling, I rarely hear people give up their life. These past months, I really focused on gambling, but you made me realize that gambling is really risky. Hopefully, starting with this post, little by little, I can quit gambling, or maybe at least I can just control myself if can't really quit.

The one of hard thing is quite gambling. Yeah, it is tru that some people are playing for fun, but they also will addict for gambling. Some people count that they are gambling for fun but after they do huge profit they will automaticcaly addict to gambling. That's why I said very hard to quit gambling.
But, some people able to exit so quit because they feel only losing and they won't play when they already bust all. I think the best fast way to quit is living on mountains without internet connecting and soo far from city centre Grin

Base on my experience ot is really hard to quit gambling specially when you are already used to it, before my parents will get mad at me becauase I forgot my responaibility as a mom also they sees me almost broke because of being addicted in gambling. One day I realize to quit gambling and I really want to do it so by the help of my love ones and determination to change I now stop or quit in gambling .
You still can be a responsible family member while doing gambling it is all about having limits managing our daily life.But most of the people will fall entirely into gambling which results addiction so if you can't limit it then better stop it.
The falling entirely into become an addict is where the problem actually lies and the fact is that virtually everyone that just keeps gambling with what they could have used into doing something tangible and they still keep losing are actually their own problem. Definitely, things like this will affect the people that are married and as long as that is in play, that is a huge act of irresponsibility on such a person's part and like you said, for those who simply cannot control themselves, it is better to stop than get extremely engrossed in it.

To stop gambling is not someone else, do it with the right intention and should be able to divert if you want to play gambling with good and positive things .. besides that must be biased to divert with positive things and deepen the science of religion. And others ..

If you're stuck in gambling addiction repeating the same pattern over and over again.  If you have found it incredibly difficult to cut ties with your addiction, the reality is you need a some professional treatment.

Yes true to quit gambling is first you yourself should willing and determine to quit because if not even how many people will give you advices still it won't work because with in yourself you are not willing to help. You should be sensitive enough if the people around you is still happy or it does not affect any relationships between inside in your home.

Maybe dont think about quitting gambling for ever- try to quit gambling in order to control your desire to play.

It's ok to gamble if done moderately- but people who gamble for a long time do not have such an easy time stopping 100%.

I see what are you trying to say, but that doesn't really apply to all.
You don't need to quit yourself. Maybe you are playing just for fun but still addicted to it?
That you just change with a small "change".
It's really easy to type that it's just a small change and anyone can easily get rid of addiction but the reality is you keep on gambling regardless of fun or for profit and slowly you start becoming financially unstable and after a while you lose it all

Even though someone play for fun and with small amount of money but small thing can change everything. Mood can not be stable from time to time. So, no matter how much money a person spend on gambling, the chance to get addicted is there.

You got it right, that the chance to get addicted is always there especially if we still got money in our pocket. Our emotions of excitement and feel of revenge due to losing streak will be the factor to fall into a bad position. This is why it is hard to quit in gambling due to it is very addictive and also enjoyable.
It is always going to be there are gambling itself actually have a way of trying to play with one's head into doing things wrong most of the time. The emotion is normal and it is left for each individual to at least find every means to make sure they are in control rather than being controlled.

That level of addiction as time goes on is what makes it hard for some people to quit but as long as anyone is ready to understand that it is gambling and nothing serious should be expected, they will be able to occupy their minds with other things that are relevant.

you are right but as long as we can always manage our emotion and not attract to spend more money on gambling then I think we are fine. with a good handle of our emotion, we can know when we need to stop gambling so the chances to be an addicting person in gambling is small although it cannot disappear. at least, we can quit gambling in anytime we want because we can fully control yourself.
This is the hardest way to do, when we gambling we do not remember about anything other than focus on gambling, especially when experiencing defeat. It will not be good advice for someone who is gambling, gamblers will feel conscious if the rest of the money runs out. I guess all the gamblers will have the same properties against it.

In my own points of view, to quit gambling doesn't mean you quit yourself because we can find other alternate to gambling which we can make our life meaningful. We can set other kinds of habit to entertain ourselves.  Let's make our family the true and meaning of our life.

I think you missed the point of the OP of quiting yourself its only when you think to quit gambling with all your heart and mind so its the way to quit playing gambling. The things you have said is a big help to get out of gambling especially your attachment and time to spend witg your family it more than playing gambling with fun and if its for money there's another way of earning and not in gambling.

People who want to gamble will find many ways to do it rather than they would not be worried  if it is called to quit yourself etc because those are the addicted people who cannot control them self and want to make money for living from the gambling.

No doubt in your saying that when someone gets used to gambling, it becomes really difficult for that person to stay away from it for the sake of good but as we all know this fact that nothing is impossible in this world, so quitting gambling for the sake of good can also be done. I know it would take a little bit more time than a normal player but he will continue.
Its an ultimate dedication for every person who has a dream for the future. Since gambling is there that moves a person to loss his/her financial at worst situations, then why suffer engaging ourselves with that kind of activity? We need to move out and quit for good, and if you're willing to do that you can do it by yourself. You will decide for the best and don't hesitate because every decisions is final and no regrets at all when it comes to self improvement. Quit from old one, and welcome the new you.

Because most of the time people don't take gambling addiction seriously like drug addiction and alcohol addiction they assume that being an gambling addict is just a minor issues but they don't have any idea how it can affect someone's life and the people around that person.

gambling addiction is still an addiction,  it can still ruin your life because being addict is not a normal behavior anymore. however drug addiction is the worst among the two that you mentioned above because drugs are illegal and you can get onto serious trouble if ever someone got caught you.  gambling , alcohol and other addiction are only minor because they arent directly prohibited by the authorities.

But overall , to quit gambling does not mean to quit yourself because gambling isnt the only way that can make your life more colorful . There are many ways to enjoy life but without a side effect and cannot lead to addiction.
Addiction will always be a bad thing as long as the thing you are doing is having some negative impact on you, so I may not categorically say that one is worse than the other in the comparison that you have done. Drug addiction is going to end up affecting your health and make you become a nuisance and a liability to your world and people around you, gambling addiction affects your pocket and also makes you become a nuisance and a liability. So, at the end, I believe they are both some form of addiction in their own way and only you can really make it work on quitting.
No doubt addiction is bad for everyone no matter if it is of gambling or anything else because when the person becomes addicted, he has to continue that thing even if his circumstances don’t agree with that and when he opposes these circumstances, he is considered to be a bad guy.If the thing has a positive impact, even then it will be not entertained by the people in your surroundings.
You know why gambling is worse than drugs addiction? Because gambling will ruin not only gambler’s life but also his family. Gambler sometimes loses not only savings but also his salary, car, business and house as well and after that borrow money to continue gambling. At last he finishes his life. So before the end comes one should think about the consequences.


I agree with you mate - but this is really in relation extreme gambler addicts who also have access to lots of funds to bet. To the average gamblers, I think they are still in control of their emotions and money.

The last thing that they do is gambles almost all of the money they have on their wallet while they are gambling but not really going to the bank and withdraw their family savings just to gamble it all.

Yes, people who are addicted won't bother about their family and money because their major aim is to gamble. They are doing these types of thing only because they are addictive to gamble, for gambling they will borrow the money from the others for higher interest. At last, once they start losing money means their family will suffer to pay for the loans.

When you are being used to it and somehow what you are doing (in this case, gambling) you are really forming a habit. That habit is like what you are doing almost all the time in a day like brushing your teeth - you don't need to process that, it will be like second nature to you - same is true with gambling.
