Did you ever try to stop gambling?

[pieppiep]

I am actually successful in my decision to stop fully in gambling though it wasn't easy and took me a very long time to do it and I am happy with this achievement because right after I stop gambling I never even feel the urge to gamble again up until now and that makes me undistracted on what I am currently doing because I need to focus on this.

I believe that success is a form of decision that originates from a level of wakefulness that is not hurried. When a person finds himself or herself stuck in a particular habit and is no longer sexually attracted to it then those particular habit may not form a part of the worth that is being created. You are not a stupid one who is trying not to remember something, or someone or an incident or a taste, but, yes, you are a smart one who wants no more to remember it. When you say that there is no more desire, then it means that you are quite present in the present moment not to be dragged by the past. This kind of change is not necessarily seen by any other person, because there is deep feeling within yourself. It is interesting that there are many things that you may build from this calm as the direction is no longer branching.

There are people who are also very easy to not gamble, namely people who do gamble just for entertainment, so they can stop at any time and play when they want, unlike people who are addicted.

For me that is the ideal, and it is not for nothing but I am that type of person, although I love to play, well if I say I don't play anymore I do it without more, of course and if I lose money, well less, because who likes to lose money? Nobody, so that is one of the reasons why I do not do them frequently, there are times when I have some money and well I risk or gamble a little more, but I take care of my money a lot, generally I like to eat a lot and I like to spend more on food like hamburgers and pizzas.

Gambling isn't that hard to stop unless you don't want to stop it. I personally have other things I do that takes most of my time and when I'm focus I can stay for months without wagering any amount of money into my favorite casino and I do look fine, the only time I even gamble is when I see my favourite team play that's when I bet.

If you want to stop gambling and it looks so hard and difficult for you to do that means you are having gambling addiction, it's shouldn't be a big deal unless you are the type that gambles and makes money from gambling from hand to mouth.

This is a good habit of yours. Your habit will never make you an addicted gambler. Who are a compulsive gambler, it is better to quit gambling. I like gambling but I am not a compulsive gambler and I personally do not have any greed for the money in gambling. However, I do like to participate in games like sports betting from time to time. If I like it, I try to keep some bets but if I lose, I do not try to bet aggressively. That is why I do not have the tendency to stop gambling.

Did you ever make an attempt to stop gambling if so for how long did you stop.

Personally, yes, when experiencing several consecutive losses, then feeling annoyed and finally stopping. and I was very lucky because I decided to stop at that time so that I was not always curious to bet again and thought about returning my deposit capital by betting again. because if this happened, then it would be the same as me experiencing a downfall in gambling and it might lead to addiction.

and this didn't last long. because I only stopped to calm my heart and also think about better risk management. so I came back again. ha ha ha.

When I was a kid, claw machines and coin pusher machines were popular, but since it isnt a pure form of gambling, I cant say that I try to stop gambling. I can say that I tried to stop a light form of momentum addiction to a variation of gambling. If you start playing claw machine, it is really hard to stop and walk away without a prize. And coin pusher machine is very hypnotizing, making it hard to stop, leave and let others use your achievement. From my experience, I find it hard for me to stop playing them once started and leave without a prize. What helped me to stop - parents and focus change on other arcade games or other attractions.

as kids we may not be that prone to claw machines or coin pushers because they might just get boring over time and we are not even getting huge benefits from it either instead as a kid, we tend to explore other things and different kinds of games what i noticed these days though is that kids end up getting addicted over video games because it is not just one thing like claw machines there is immediate pleasure when you win against your opponents that makes you want to keep playing

Any gambler who has won in gambling would find it difficult to stop gambling. The brain is always addicted to the reward system and the satisfaction that comes from winning. It is not true to say that stopping gambling is easy but I think gamblers only take breaks either when they cannot afford to gamble or when they think that they are losing so much money. Only few gamblers have been able to completely stop gambling and this is a high level of discipline which is not possessed by all gamblers and so majority of gamblers would prefer based on their actions to get addicted instead of stopping.

It may seem to be simple but games like the claw machine or old coins pusher has patterns that make us delay longer than intended. People are willing to participate not only for the money, but subconsciously people believe that they have worked for it and abandoning it is like throwing away something valuable. We do not want to lose even in the entertainment aspect we are glued to the screens. Then reason gradually diminishes and gives way to the desire of seeing the last chapter done on something that has not been concluded. While it cannot categorically be referred to as gambling, its impact leads to gambling and if done often without knowledge, it results to it.

You are absolutely right about that I could say that things that are obtained as fun should be used for that, just fun But people who can't give something up is because they already have a small problem Even if they really like it, there must be that feeling of : "I don't care much about giving it up , I have to do other things" Apart from working , playing sports , spending time with the family, all that I think those things help a lot Time passes for me like that. From time to time I play.

Even though claw machine or coin pushers are primitive games, they were very addictive at that time. Game entrance level is below minimum, and even underaged were allowed to play. Back at that days, video games were also popular, I had a console, but arcade machines were still more popular. The reason why claw machine and coin pusher were so addictive and more popular than video games - because if you win, you get a real prize, not a virtual score points. When I write this post, I remember how hard it was to dram me from those machines, because I ask for money from parents all the time, over and over again.

And still up to this day, very addicted as when I go in the mall and check with my kids, there are still a lot of children playing and it's a sublime form of gambling already.

For me though, I have minimized myself going into landbase casinos this year. Actually I haven't went in 2025 so that is a big accomplished for me already as I usually go like 2-4 times every month before.

Yeah agree because a gambler will always chase that chances of winning on the other hand same with losing that is why there is a never ending activity. But unfortunately for me since winning isn't a fan of me this is the reason why I quit that easily.

One aspect of gambling is that it is a game of hope. Even when a gambler is losing, he continues to play because he believes that the next bet will result in winning. This is common among casino players, particularly Aviator. When the Aviator plane has provided lower odds in a streak, every player begins staking even higher, regardless of their losses, in the hope that the big odd is about to arrive.

In a few cases, it has worked out for gamblers, but in the end, they lose, regardless of their hopes. Hope can only motivate a gambler to keep playing; it cannot guarantee winning. In my opinion, no matter how high a gambler's hopes are, gambling should always be done in moderation.

I think it's pretty normal to chase that chance of winning but it shouldn't be by assumption because you wouldn't make anything, instead a gambler should try and focus on how to improve your skills, the skills is the only thing you have as an edge to make money from casino but if you don't have a skill or don't work on the one you have, your chance of making loss will be higher no matter what you chase in gambling.

Any person that want to venture into gambling priority first should be momey, after the money you can focus on the next on how to mange the risk of casino because every casino has their risk ratio and hedge. If you don't study how to win, you will lose even with your skill.
