I could either watch it happen or be a part of it
I've had good moments and bad moments in my life, but the worst moments is when I spent the entire day gambling and focusing only to winning money for this or that.
I'm tired, seriously, to win big and then fall in more deep "debt" because of greediness. I can't afford to have such experiences anymore, it makes me sad the fact that instead of saving those money I preferred to spend them on a gambling site, I was like oh ok it's just x, so If i can lose it it's ok, oh it's just a faucet, it's ok if I lose it. But when If even with the faucet I reach like 0.06 or more, and then I lose them it's still a touch to the heart, that makes you say if I start back with this amount I can magically make it 0.6, yes probably, cause I did that in the past, as my far record is been from 0.001 to 1.6 btc in 3 hours with roulette, but let's not dig that.

I prefer spending the money on what are my necessities now, than see my wallet drop in amount. Every single f*** time, every time I had the chance to buy btc, or doge whatever, I ended up expecting to win big.
EVEN if I win big, I repeat that, I waste the money afterward, because I think it's a good idea to bet bigger now if my budget supports it, and there it goes down the hole.
Greed always beat the best of us, it's like a root that flowing through our veins that is causing us too much loss. The thing here is the "what ifs". What if I win? What if my bet will get bigger? What if this is my lucky day? When we first take our step in gambling risks and hazards are there. Hazard is the loss, risk is the game.

Why I decided to leave gambling anyway? I saw how rapidly I was going down in the past few days, and like an hot potato to keep sinking my butt on the wallet. I'm tired of that. I better move my butt and find something that used to keep me busy, like programming, I love programming. But then I got stressed and I started to gamble.

I hope you all understand. All my friends I made in these years on the gambling sites, thank you everyone for your support of my strong decision.
Thanks everyone.
Even if it doesn't happened to me, I've seen people who lost almost everything in gambling. Because of that addiction they even drown in debts and try to do bad things. Pressure and the pop up thought in your hand that saying " I should've save the money ". It's a good decision bro. Fucos in business and investments instead.

I am also doubting how much he will be successful with decision of quitting gambling. But the best part of his decision is he got chances to realize himself and made the decision of leaving off gambling completely.

I'm not seeing any of my friends who are suffering from gambling severely not making this kind of decision, really hats off to OP. When he will be sticking with his decision all the times, I believe he will be setting some good example for gamblers here.

So all those who have left this addiction in gambling have saved themselves for further financial loss .
I agree with you, It's nice decision to make but it's too hard for them, I mean addictive gamblers. by the way who can do that definitely have a strong personality. Congrats to people who quiting gambling for ever, By the way this domain is too risky, for the future and current life,You can waste a lot of money by doing this activity.

You win some, you learn some. The thing is you are like paying for the knowledge that you have gained over the course of years of you gambling. It's not that bad after all since you've learned something from it. The next best step for you would be stopping completely and never look back in hopes of making it big "this time" because that hope will kill you every time. To share my part, I am still gambling, though only in sports betting. I gain a lot from it, but I was never a greedy person. Whenever I win, I stop and call it a day. I lose, I stop and I never chase losses. That's one thing that I learned from gambling, to know my limits and to acknowledge them.

It is a good choice if you're unable to have full control over how you're gambling. Maybe play for fun with online casino games if you're feeling stressed.

It is better to avoid gambling completely if one is not able to control themselves instead of wasting money on it. Because if you're stressed, you will have many other options to get a fun and entertainments, not just only gambling. Online gambling is becoming popular only last few years before that not everyone can access it so easily and that time people had different ways to get fun.
Correct, gambling is a good way to entertain ourselves but that is true only if we can control ourselves, if we cannot then we need to find other ways to get fun and that are cheap or free, you can learn to play a musical instrument or play a sport.

Without you realize actually you have been controlled by greed and fall to addiction, so at this point quit gambling is a wise decision, it will be a dangerous condition if you keep on gambling, so I am happy for your decision and hopefully you do well in your programming and your story can inspired other to stop gambling before they addicted
Self-control and also regulate emotion is the most important part in gambling.
If we can not do that then we will lose everything, we can be controlled entirely by greed.
That will help a lot making yourself calm when playing but it doesn't mean that you can have a good profit by just controlling your emotion. It's just you can stop your self if you win or you won't do big bets or the worst is max bet of you are lossing.

In gambling, other people promise to quit, but cant. They fear their loved ones will find out. This drives them deeper into hiding and further into debt. They keep hoping a big win will end their problems. Once in a while they may win, which keeps their hope alive until the losses mount up again. They will have to face all the problems gambling has caused. Self-controlled! It's something where you lose out of millions within minutes if you're so much addicted. So save yourself! Congrats for quitting! Leave gambling!

TL;DR? He got broke. Most people have to reach rock bottom before they can ever realize the foolish things that they are doing. You got hooked on gambling. That's quite normal in the society. People got hooked on other things too. You said you once experienced gambling for one whole day? Well, teenagers are spending their days doing nothing but gaming. They play games right when they woke up and then stop playing when it's hours past midnight. You're not an exception. This is not a special story, honestly.

Personally, I decided to leave gambling when I realized that it's actually boring. You bet, then you lose. Sometimes you experience some excitement when you win. But you're going to lose it all at the end of the day. And it's the same scenario every time you gamble. That's just how it is.

I think You are in the right track because gambling is involved economical risk.it can destroy your life.I don't like bet but sometimes I stake small amount.Just do not take seriously bet.

i also don't like to bet, i only bet the money i get for free or i win in some case here and there, at least i have no risk by doing so, because these money were gifted, and also i don't gamble a lot only when i feel lucky, you know some times you feel it
Same as you, I don't do betting a lot, Also i don't consider it like a source of money. It's just for fun no more. I do it when i won some money during the week.
Mostly, i placed my bet in week ends, when there is a lot of games. by the way congrats to him by quiting gambling, It's a good decision i think.
That's good for you because some people really use their money until they have none left and that's sad for them because you will never know how much you can do with the money you used until you lost them. It's fun especially if you don't have to spend your money to gamble, there are sites that offers free things and that's awesome.

The real test to know if you have control lover yourself is being able to gamble in a way that isn't stupid mindless way, that is how you test your self control. But some people just have to quit 100% and stay away, those are the worst cases.

Im able to not able for 11 months, and then gamble at the end of the year in the vegas casino with some friends when I make a trip there, just for fun. If you cant enjoy it for fun then just quit.
to me i think in most of the cases people cannot succeeded to quit gambling for ever, they can only stop playing gambling for some time and after that they start plying it again, i think there will be very few number of people who may be able to stop gambling forever. otherwise it is very difficult to stop it.

This is quite a good thing to teach us that gambling without control is disastrous.  Reason is that it can eat up all your money even those that is intended to other things.  Thank you for sharing us your side of story, may this be a lesson to us that whenever we are gambling we should not let greed overtake us and be contented if ever we won enough.
Almost all the gamblers are having some story similar to this but only one or two gamblers decide to quit but I am afraid they will be stranding on their decisions for ever. Because, over time they come back to gambling to take 'revenge' the gambling but finding themselves into deep problems than before.

I wish OP to stick within his decisions and resolutions.
Some gamblers make that mistake and it is unfortunate because th more they quit and then after some time they come back and lose their money then they will lose confidence thinking that it is impossible for them to quit to gambling, that is why if you quit you must be firm about your decision.

You can't quit gambling for sure if you lose tons of bitcoin it will make your self more stressed full than thinking to quit gambling. You always to try to think to chase all your loses from the start of playing gambling. That is why quiting while you want to get back all your loses is make you stay to play more gambling.
It is a most common decision that almost all the gamblers will be taking at some point of time when they are facing continuous losses, but unfortunately most of them are not sticking with their decisions and coming back to gambling.

But I do see there will be some positive things in these decisions like they are at least stopping their gambling for some period, because they would have lost some more money in between times.
