If you are addicted in gambling then it is very difficult to quit, but not impossible. If there is a will, there is a way. You have to be very serious in your approach then you can definitely do it.

Good, many addicted individuals in gambling today are not willing to give-up their passion on gambling, and thereby making it be difficult for them to totally quit after addicted. There's always ways to exit from the world of gambling, if there's self will from the person in question. Some of my friends quit gambling long ago and it wasn't heard for their exit.

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.

You are just asking for merits OP, But yes you have also the point that it is easy to quit on something but not when addiction is the problem. As we all know that in gambling addiction is the most common problem but hey this will really depend on the foundations of a certain gambler. I am saying as a gambler to where I am used to bet in an online platform has been into addiction but mu foundation tp overcome it is good for I have my friends and family for being always there in times that I need them. Thus, realizing and overcoming addiction. Somehow I still bet but I know how to control it.

Once a player are addict of playing gambling it's hard for him/her to stop gambling unless they don't have a capital to play it but sometimes they do collateral their things they have for them to play. But if you really want to stop or quitting gambling is depends on how to be hinest yourself you can help your ownself and if you really want you can do there is some techniques but not all people are effective if they use it but only trust yourself is effective way for that.

That is the reason people say that if you cannot control your emotion or do not have self discipline better to avoid gambling. Or if playing just for money better ti stay away as you can become additive to it and may lose out lot of money and health as well.

I don't even understand a single thing from your post tbh.

How can you say that in trading everything is control of whales and not us ? Trading is far safer than gambling.
You invest in gambling and the very next second you can lose all of your money.  In trading even if you are at loss, holding the coins can make you recover the loss. Also if you are professional trader you will never be in a loss.
Trading is indeed controlled by some whales, but it's only for some coin/token which got pump & dump easily.
Invest and gamble your money in gambling site are different, while you invest, you are likely will earn some profit because house will be win in the end. But while you gamble, it's 50:50 you can win a lot or lose all your money. Holding a coin / token for a long time which basically only shit token/coin will make your investment become worse


Also if you are professional trader you will never be in a loss.
No, even a professional trader can lose too

actually the hardest challenge when going to change a bad activity is to fight the ego and lust for yourself because of addiction or being a sign addict someone can not hold back his lust.
Yes this is not as easy as said. The conflict between what your mind thinks and what your heart wants to have is full of ambiguity and you are always the victim of uncertainties. In gambling, it is important to have certain boundaries and limits and only then there could be some way to get out of the game full of lust. One should think about trading rather than getting into gambling.
IMO, in trading you are not in total control of our money as trades are controlled by whales while in gambling, it is you that have the key but it is also very important though that you should put limit in everything that we do. Everything in excess i think is dangerous, applicable also to gambling so be discipline when you gamble.

Don't see a logic here.  Every new trading and even holding could lead you to a bigger loss, if you've chosen  a wrong coin. Didn't you saw a coin who make initial pump and next going only down? Especially if you are playing with a leverage,  your total order could be easily wiped out.
It means everything has risk, if not want to take risk maybe to quit from gambling we can do something else. I think in real life there are a lot of activity that can make us forget about gambling. In case we still discuss this topic about how to quit gambling.

This advice is for the moderate gambler only, but if you ask me about a chronic gambler, all of these are not going to work, they need professional help that will guide them step by step how to overcome addiction and this varies depends on one's addiction so it's person to person.
Agreed, advices depends on ones personality. On how strong their will to stop. Some needs assistance from professionals but some can manage on their own. It's all about will, because even if you seek advice from a doctor, that won't help if you can't break addiction. It's like, what Doctor says entered into your right ear and pass into your left ear. You didn't put and stock it in your mind.

Yes, that is difficult to quit, but as long as you have a strong heart and mind and you can have a big effort to quit gambling, I am sure you can do it. Perhaps, you need help from other people so you don't feel that it is too difficult to quit gambling because they can help you to distract your mind from thinking to gamble. They will prevent you from talking about gambling, and they will ask you to do something else that will help you to forget about gambling.

I am sure that soon, your mind will have a new passion for the new thing you do with your friends and at that time, you will not think about gambling because you know that will make your life bad.

That is right.

Addicted gamblers are a serious disorder and it should be taken seriously by the people. There are a lot of places to go and to attend to in order to fix that addiction, you don't need to worry since that is all advised by a professional. Instead of doing it by yourself, let other people help you especially your loves ones since that would be so helpful and very effective.

One of my coworkers is a self admittingly degenerate gambler and he started to take a medication every morning with food.
He told us at lunch that the medicine not only controls his desire to gamble but also to eat  Huh
But he does not wake up and pay poker before even brushing his teeth like he once did
I cant remember the name of this medicine but I can ask him if anyone wants to know.

If this addiction is about gambling then it is not bad thing because people use to gamble to earn money, and earning money is not bad at all, the more we gamble the more w e get involve, quitting is not good if you will keep gambling you will learn more and will improve your gambling skills, with passage of time you will increase earning.
What a unique principle about gambling addictions, I don't have anything to say about it as it's your own interpretation of this addiction, everything will depends on how people can take the system without harming your mental capabilities.
It is good to be addicted about something beneficial if you see gambling is giving you profit so you can gamble, it is not good to take stress about anything or not to bring it in your personal life, just spare time for it, gamble when you feel relaxed and quitting I not good because in gambling I have seen so many people being rich perfectly in short time.

It could be hard but if we are willing to let it go and changes our life,  there's always a way to make, it only needs time and effort. This is why we should have to take a look our self in a mirror and closely check where we are now. Gambling is not a mess thing we can do in our life, as knew that some of us consider this as a source of living and they are really good in gambling which is not to be found with the others. 

indeed it will be difficult to leave if indeed the gambling that we do is inherent in us or can be said to be very addicted to gambling. but there are several ways that can be done to be able to leave gambling with simple things, even though this is difficult for most gambling addicts, but this proves to be effective if it continues to do, namely by filling in activities that can have a positive effect on themselves by filling in other activities or can gather with family and friends around, because gambling addiction can only be felt if someone is more often alone

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.

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.
