Does it mean that your advice doesn't make make any meaning to any of the reader's as no one has not given you any merit for all your efforts. I would have loved to give you one merit just that I don't have any left at the moment maybe some other time if I can still find myself reading this particular topic of yours.

We must also remember that we as the gamblers are more likely to be affected mentally then by those who dont gamble
There are many unfortunate endings for people who can not control this addiction of 'problem gambling'.

Problem gamblers at 15 times higher risk of suicide, study finds
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/mar/13/problem-gamblers-at-15-times-higher-risk-of-suicide-study-finds

While reading such studies we have to keep in mind that they are not always accurate regarding their conclusions. Problem gamblers have not only 15 times higher risk of suicide, but they also have higher risk of drug addiction, alcohol abuse etc. And all of that is not because they gamble, but because they are just such kind of persons, emotionally unstable, frequently stressed, constantly seeking for rushes of positive feeling, and in some cases, when they can't find any, they commit suicide. Saying that one vice leads to another is a wrong approach to this serious problem, but, unfortunately, modern psychology seems doesn't have better solutions yet.

I've seen many studies with false premises or a logic that seems sound but is not.
In any case, I don't think anyone can deny that gambling has pushed many people to suicide and other negative behaviors, it's just that we can't accurately measure it.

In any case, it's best not to get started with gambling and/or investing at all or maybe start small so that your psychology won't go downhill in case you lose your bet.

Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.

1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.

2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.


3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.

4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.

5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.

Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.


good pointers , this will help alot of people that not gamble for fun any more becuse it become a addiction that ruins their life instead.

There are other better ways in quiting of something to which one is being addicted. My simple ways is to adapta pet that I like and then focus and give my time on the pet. However, I never consider myself addicted in a gambling activity though I gamble because I have control it for I have set mt priorities in life like my family.

Besides, I learn also to accept everything that comes and go in my hand. Whatever it will be like winning or losing then accepting it would give you at peace and will let you keep your priorities and setting aside of gambling as only for fun or leisure.

Many players who tried to quit gambling but after few weeks or a few weeks of not playing they will go back again. But Im happy for my self because I stopped playing more than 1 year I think but I just go back to try my luck and for this time Im not addict to play all of money. Addicting is not good and you need to control yourself incase if you are addict if you try quit and that's not effective play only every other day.

the problem is you cant quit if you are in loose.
Its only possible to quit after a huge ROI  Grin


regards
You even can't quit most of the time even after you made good amount of money from gambling due to greed and there ire no exceptions though. Cheesy

for you yes but for the rest of us we can quit easily win or loose because we have a self control and we are a responsible gambler  . if your a gambler you must set your own goal  , small to mid term goal is okay but long term goal is hard so its not really that advisable for now . if you feel and think that you already won or loose enough thats the time to decide to quit , no more what if's  and you can comeback again tommorow or maybe next time  . rinse and reapeat the process until you gradually master to become a good gambler  . profits willl eventually come slowly but surely   .

Actually, many people become addicted to gambling not because they lose, but for the opposite reason. If during a long enough period of time they are mostly in profit, they start thinking that they have invented a wining strategy and that no matter how losing streak they may encounter, they will eventually win in the end. This is the most dangerous situation when quitting is harder than ever. In some cases such people lose all they have, borrow money, and lose it too, and try to borrow again, and so on. To avoid that we should always remember that if we win, we win mostly because of luck, even in poker and sports betting, and not because of some "winning strategy".

Thank you for this tips, others want to quit, but they don't know how or what to do, I think they can do some of your tips, but its hard if you realy have a addiction.on gambling. but there is no wrong if you try.

Actually, in gambling everyone can become addicted very easily, it is on ourself that we have control ourself or not. People play gambling to become rich, Everyone like to become rich so why we choose only gambling, most of the other ways are here to become rich and in the other path, we could save ourself from addiction. If this point is clear in our mind then we can't be addicted even we play gambling.
I think the reason is simple, don't gamble because you want to be rich, because you will try to achieve that and eventually become an addict. because I've experienced it, the goal will determine what you become in gambling, so make sure you have goals that don't force you to always win, because no one can guarantee that in gambling. yeah control is also necessary if you have that goal

I will like to take your point number one, how can they seriously quit when the urge is very strong to play than to quit, gamblers always have this one last game syndrome, where they always promised to play for the last time but ended up breaking the promise because they can't overcome the urge to gamble, there should be people around him that will help him to stop gambling.


You could limit the amount of money you bring into a casino or lock most of your funds the day you plan to gamble online.  If you want to stop gambling completely you have to gradually reduce the amount of money you bring into a casino until it becomes small
After reaching some point that accelerated with the emotional reaction it becomes hard to resist gambling addiction. The rest is followed by bringing more money to the table and recover the loss due to the revenge of lost gambling funds. I doubt locking the funds will help to that kind of people in the long run.

If you are a gambling addict, you can do it gradually and with strong intentions and consistent with your commitment to really want to quit.
and the most important thing is that you have to get closer to God and pray that your intentions will soon be granted and do something positive and leave anything related to gambling.

My coworker was diagnosed with Pathological gambling and it prescribed medicine called Luvox to control his urges
He says he thinks its working but he still has the desire to play cards just not as regularly.
He has also gained some weight and doesnt like to be as active anymore but if hes dealing with his problems then we can only support him.
It is funny to see how medicine in modern day could help you get rid of a habit that is not perfectly rational from economic point of view. There must be anesthetic components in the medications. I think this habit does not need a doctor of medication to treat it but rather a mindset that can help a lot to reduce the frequency of gambling day by day. Anyways, if he is such a terrible addict, he would have made big money by now.

Unfortunately, that is not as easy as we say, because we need to have a strong mind to quit from gambling and we cannot do that instantly. Besides that, I think it is better to ask other people to help us to quit gambling as we know we cannot always have a strong mind and effort to quit. Maybe we can visit the psychiatry to help us so we can practice quitting with his guide and of course, we need to try from day by day.

I agree, it is easy for us to say to quit in gambling but if we’re at their place it would be very difficult. It requires strong motivation to quit because if he doesn’t have a strong reason to quit then there’s a possibility that you will go back to gambling. I think the very best if a person is very addicted is placed them to a rehab center wherein they can be controlled and cannot do any gambling.
I think that addicted gamblers probably need relatives or friends to successfully quit gambling. Lack of good relationships is a strong factor of addiction growth. Thus, it has to be changed to overcome a gambling addiction.

You can still quite even if you are addicted as the are many addiction remedies online for free and you can just help yourself by just used Google. However, remember that it is better to avoid gambling in it entire than be addicted to it and at the end go bankruptcy! Many are in debt today because of bad habits and how compulsive they are living.
Are you Ok?just those freebies from google can help control addictions?if that’s the case so what’s the need for Specialist if we can just go google and then Boom we’re quit?

This is not a game that has a cheat in internet mate,this is reality of life and unless the person has the Gutsnd motivation then he will be on top of changing

If you play that much then addictions will follow since you are more focus from what you are doing and forget to think of other things that is more important, if you can deal with yourself and you can easily point your directions to find other interesting stuff aside from gambling, chances to quit
it up and begin to look for much better opportunities will be your priorities.
