Topic: Want to quit? Here's how - page 6. (Read 23317 times)

I guess quitting suddenly may cause depression, restlessness and other similar symptoms.

Gambling is more accessible than ever before and it has made its way into video games.  Things like loot boxes, spins, or other random items in video games are essentially gambling.  Used to be much more difficult to become a gambling addict when you actually had to go to a casino to bet.

Even at the point of addiction one can still be leave gambling if and only if such an individual submit to self control genuinely. I had a childhood friend who was addicted at the age of 15years, after we pass out from the school i called him for a gambling competition and i was surprise that he quit gambling after we left the school, so, it's a choice for every gambler. And if you must quit, never hold back anything.

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.

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.

Great tips OP. I must say, #3 is my favorite. 
Especially the second sentence. It can be used in relationship advice too. On a more serious note, cheating must not be an option. Like ever. You're cheating on yourself, first of all. And after realizing that, there might be the feeling of regret and the thoughts of "If only..." Remember that regret is always last. Better make a move now before it's already too late.

It is very difficult to do it yourself without any help.There are people who have done it successfully but these are only a bunch of persons compared to the majority who have tried and failed to do so.When you try to quit there are some steps that you must follow and these steps are explained well in websites like Gamblers Anonymous and others sites like it.

That is one way of attacking your gambling problem. Look for other activities that might be of interest to you. Self-discipline is your one major enemy. A lot fail in that simple mantra. But yeah, it really takes a lot of hard work to accomplish your mission especially quitting from your previous way of life.

Try something new that can allocate your time instead of gambling, you will be excited to do that new activity that you are exploring.

Just like unwinding, maybe this will the best way to work for you.

Diversifying stuff, that was most likely I have been doing when it comes thing makes worst to leave your habit earlier than to become addicted to it. OP stated has a point and it is easy to execute by your own self if you know how to handle it. Want to quit? and do it in your self and everything will be fine. Don't let that addicted stuff ruin your life.

What if you change your free time by looking for a useful job and activity that can keep you entertained. I think that way you can forget something about gambling. Indeed, people who are addicted will continue to think about it but if every day you do a useful activity it will give good results.

I think these tips are really helpful, but they can't help me quit gambling in the best way. If you are a person who has a lot of free time, trying not to think about gambling is impossible, so many people will relapse and continue to gamble again. The best way to get rid of this addiction, try to fit in your free time. This makes you busy and doesn't think about it.

The best way to stop gambling is to leave all the gambling stuffs completely. But yes, it will be very difficult because we have to fight against ourselves to be able to achieve it. The intention to stop gambling gradually will not give the ideal results as I think!
