As much as I know addiction is as bad as one put his/her soul for sale. Determination is the key to addiction because it's not easy for one to quits gambling addiction. Self control may serve as a remedial to gambling addiction if an individual cannot exit the scene.

It's really hard to quit a habit that's already been part of your daily routine so it might take a long time for you to stop that addiction. You have a good point, every gambler wants to win and take a huge profit through betting and thinking. People became unconscious on what they're doing and it slowly turn it into addiction.

Once emotion has entered your way because of failing something, it will push you again to do something in the next time or later, the continuity of actions became a habit thus it will become an addiction.
Actually different people have different mindset about gambling. Some people consider it as a good way of getting fun and enjoyment, while other consider it a good and quick way of making money, in both condition if you will continue and make it a routine you will become addicted, the different is only that those people who play gambling for fun and enjoyment they only play gambling up to a limit and never consider it as a mean of income, therefore gamboling do not affect them financially too much.

While those people consider gambling as tool of making money they become more greedy and put more and more money in gambling even if they will make good money from there still they want to continue and in the end they lose everything they have.

Gambling is really a heavy addiction and it can't be cured as easily as non-gamblers think. It is even more severe than cigarettes or alcohol, and needs a very good tratment. All of those advices and tips that are mentioned above are good and everything, but people mainly need great will and character to stop gambling.
Well said, every point have it's own good intentions regarding to this matter, but it will always be depends from how the person who's really affected will engaged for much better solution, being addicted was a caused by being too much engaged if you will be able to recognized that and you will cope up and change this willingly then you can still save yourself.

Addictions can be fully understood when you are already engaging and having trouble how to quit from it.

Maybe I'm just lucky but I never had an addiction to gambling myself.  I think quitting drugs is much more difficult because it has a stronger physical effect on your body.  I still think people should be more concerned with themselves and not dictate others on how to live their lives.
It's just a reaction and also being concerned to other people that they have the opportunity in which other may don't but those people don't have that kind of opportunity is more educated and knowledgeable.

It quite easy to say those words "change your lifestyle and focus on something else to quit your addiction. But that is the part they are not able to execute for which they are stuck up with that addiction. But sadly they do not have any other option. I never believe on slow quitting. That thing never works for like most of the people. You either go cold turkey or stick with your addiction.
The best way is to get someone who will help you through quitting through constant monitoring of your life (i know that would be quite annoying but its worth it).

True, whatever we do excessively, it will usually have a negative impact on other things in our lives and no exception with gambling. Moreover, gambling can have a fatal impact, especially with wealth if we are addicted. Doing all activities in a balanced manner is the best way.

That is really why we need to balance the things that we do in our lives. Some things that we do excessively might have a positive impact but there will come a time that we will be facing a consequence to that. As the band Journey sang it, too much love will kill you, and that is the same as other things especially to gambling, it might not kill you but it will fill you with regret and hardships.

Most gamblers cannot control themselves, they will be governed by lust whenever they find a victory or when they lose. ~

Gambling addiction is a serious problem, and to understand it better we shouldn't exaggerate things. What you said is simply not true about most gamblers. According to statistics, over 60% of adult population have gambled at one time or another during their lifetime. But only from 0.12% to 2.6%, depending on the country, or around 1% on average, suffer from problem gambling. It wasn't easy for me to write the word "only" in the previous sentence because 1% of the world population is still a very big number, and this is a huge problem we must do something about, but I think exaggeration is as bad as diminishment in the context of solving this problem.

If you want quit addiction from something then you may need to change your life style and concentrate on long term pleasure like building your career or doing workouts and getting success in your business like that.
You can't quit addiction by just simply changing your life style.
We have to know the main source of addiction, and we need to cut that into our life.
In this sense, it's gambling so we simply stop gambling, and that's a hard thing to do when you are addicted.
Many of us are being addicted to a thing which they're always used to and it is not easy for them to cut that into their life because they have a lot of experience on it or another reason for making them feel happy and enjoy their life.

Those who are addicted to gambling, actually enjoy the gambling and therefore they do not want to give up gambling and therefore they do not want to give up gambling at any cost.

When you are addicted into something, it is hard for yourself to admit that you are already addicted to it. At first you will be in the state that you can't make your day without doing that. It is not just that it is another reason for you to be happy or to enjoy life, in your mind, you think that what you are doing, you will be able to do that in the long run as long as you can and no one can stop you.

The bad thing about addiction is that those who are addicted, never know this and they feel only the enjoyment which they get from gambling and they forget all the negative aspects of it.
There's always a negative feedback when you don't even know how to control yourself of being addicted to gambling. The enjoyment is always there but once you are already used to it then it's hard for you to quit.

I really do not understand why people blame gambling when they experience a loss in the game. You cannot blame for the loss to gambling itself, when the loss is because of an individual addition, emotions and greediness.

Yeah is hardly quit gambling and it's not simply to leave and stopped in gambling especially for the people get into addicting without the help of relatives and friend even if they want to change their lifestyle in own way he/she need help by the love ones to moving out from addicted.
No doubt that your friends and relatives can help you to quit gambling, but I think that the most important is your own well and determination, without having strong its difficult to get rid from gambling addiction. I think it is a slow process, it requires a lot of patient and struggle, you need to involve yourself in some other constructive activities, which can also be helpful to quit gambling gradually.

Our mind need what is good to agree with our spirits but it has never come up in that way because of our dopamine!  The dopamine is looking to satisfied the mind with pleasure and because the mind has been deceived to believe that the pleasure is the best condition it can be it always lead to addiction!  We always want more of the dopamine release through porn, gambling, overfeed, sex and even scamming.
You people are sounding more technical. I'm sorry these are all completely new things to me. Yes, it seems you people are approaching addictions in more psychological way rather than how people are usually discussing like common gamblers. It is interesting but making me unable to contribute to our discussion.

In my view addiction is possible for any gambler when they are intensely gambling and emotionally failing when looking to fulfill his gambling targets.

It's really hard to quit a habit that's already been part of your daily routine so it might take a long time for you to stop that addiction. You have a good point, every gambler wants to win and take a huge profit through betting and thinking. People became unconscious on what they're doing and it slowly turn it into addiction.

Once emotion has entered your way because of failing something, it will push you again to do something in the next time or later, the continuity of actions became a habit thus it will become an addiction.

Addiction means your mind want something in a regular basis to satisfy the dopamine needs.

Your brain has three status of living conscious,subconscious and unconscious.In the stage of conscious your mind knows what you are doing but on other stages you may not unaware of what is happening even if you are living in it.

So if you are having some habit to make you pleasure on short term like gambling,porn or dating and other lot of stuffs will become an addiction when you want that happiness everyday.But these things is not your long term pleasure it just only meant to be short term but your mind turning it into long term by making you keep doing it very often because your subconscious and unconscious make it as a habit already since you are doing it already.

If you want quit addiction from something then you may need to change your life style and concentrate on long term pleasure like building your career or doing workouts and getting success in your business like that.
That is truth.  Our mind need what is good to agree with our spirits but it has never come up in that way because of our dopamine!  The dopamine is looking to satisfied the mind with pleasure and because the mind has been deceived to believe that the pleasure is the best condition it can be it always lead to addiction!  We always want more of the dopamine release through porn, gambling, overfeed, sex and even scamming.

Try to build a new habit that different than the other. If you were often playing gambling, then you can try to go to another place, make a book of your journey, always prevent your mind from playing gambling. Asking the other people to comes with you will be better because she/he will always remind you and try to prevent to go to gambling places. It's all about how we can block the mind to think about gambling all day long and make another activity will be a solution.
Actually it's not a problem when we play gambling, because basically gambling is entertainment. the problem is that some people cannot control themselves, they experience addiction and feel in a bad situation. but for someone who can control their emotions and self control, they will feel at the stage that is comfortable to play gambling.

Human greedy is the most factor that could lead to addiction in gambling. Greedy of you want to become millionaire within a short period of time which is not possible in most cases rather such people will continue to lose their money in gambling until they go bankrupt.
Thinking of becoming millionaire with gambling is something that a gambler shouldn't think of.

We can't be millionaires with gambling but we can have fun and earn some and lose some with it depending on your emotional control.
Only casino owners will own our millions..
Only we've got millions of losses if we fully engage into gambling but if our purpose is to enjoy, its not the concern anymore. Only we need not to be fall into addiction cause it will ruin our life. Honestly!
Also be careful when you are having fun with gambling.

You may not notice that you are going to the point of becoming addicted to it, only if you don't care with your standing. Just be aware of what you do although you're only doing it for fun.

That is exactly right. A lot of cases do not know or at least they don't think they are addicted but think that they are just having fun with gambling and passing a good time.

If they win the illusion becomes even bigger, if they lose they fall in the trap of addiction and a lot of sorrow stories happen to these persons. A gambler should always be with their guard on.
