Yes I got what he was saying. But you can’t compare something like smoking to gambling.
This forum is supposed to be here to help people who struggle with gambling and not for people to make stupid comments such as that👌🏻
Maybe he just wanted to support someone by comparing it to smoking. We don't have to make a big deal out of it, but I also understand what you're saying.
I think like every other addiction, the will to stop is the most important factor in overcoming gambling. The journey to reclaim control over your life begins with a strong, personal decision to change. Recognizing that gambling has become a problem and deciding to quit is a courageous first step. This resolve must be rooted deeply within you, as it will be the foundation upon which all other efforts to stop gambling are built.
Hello, I am also of the opinion that it has to start with realizing that the player is addicted and wanting to do something about it. It's impossible without that and sometimes the first step is the hardest.
Have you had that experience too ?
I came into contact with gambling at a very young age and stopped for certain periods. There were times I hadn't gambled for months. The biggest cause of my gambling was my friends. When you're around people who gamble all the time, you get sucked into it. I noticed that when you have a past with gambling and you start again, it escalates rapidly. If you want to stop, I recommend going cold turkey and not touching gambling at all. The first few weeks will feel unpleasant, but after a few months, you won't even think about gambling. I know gambling won't profit you in the long run because the statistics are always against you, but the thrill and excitement of winning give you so much dopamine that it's like you're on drugs, and it isn't even about the money anymore.
I would say money is the limiting factor for a gambling addiction. When you are out of cash, you can't continue to gamble and have to wait for your next paycheck. This break in gambling can serve as a forced pause, giving you time to reflect and potentially seek help. On the other hand, if you can gamble with excess cash and don't have to borrow or face financial problems, the situation might seem different.
However, it's important to recognize that gambling addiction isn't solely about the availability of money. It's also about the psychological and emotional factors driving the behavior. Even those with sufficient funds can still experience the negative consequences of gambling, such as strained relationships, neglect of responsibilities, and mental health issues.
Ultimately, responsible gambling involves setting limits, both financially and in terms of time spent. It's crucial to be aware of the signs of addiction and seek help if gambling starts to negatively impact any aspect of your life.

I understand, such feelings were described by more than one player who struggled with addiction. It's definitely not a pleasant feeling and as you said, if you have people around you who gamble, it's easy to fall into it. But if you can adjust to the fact that it's not a good way to go and quit even with help, that's a big plus.
I wish there were as few gamblers like that as possible.
My thoughts exactly mate.
Until you have experienced the destruction that gambling addiction causes then it isn’t possible to accept comments such as the one like that.
But like you say. No need to make a big deal of it. We are here to support each other ❤️
Hej allihop, jag skäms över att berätta min historia, jag började spela för mindre än ett år sedan, men det räckte för att föra mig till randen, jag är deprimerad och tar psykofarmaka och jag är i en skyddad miljö för att undvika mig själv. skada., och jag har 3 visshet, jag kommer aldrig att få tillbaka mina pengar, jag har förstört mitt liv för alltid och jag kommer att behöva leva med denna skuld, jag har vunnit stora summor två gånger, sista gången på Dachbet, men enligt regler de ger pengarna en gång i veckan och inte alltid i tid, och att se den stora summan och veta att... om de betalar dem till dig kommer det att ta månader att ta ut dem fick mig att tappa kontrollen, jag spelade igen och förlorade allt, du kanske tror att jag är dum, och du skulle ha rätt. Jag förstod att dessa är manipulatorer, för om jag betalar pengarna direkt kan jag inte ta emot vinsterna omedelbart? Denna frustration har förstört mig.
Vänligen håll dig borta från kasinon, särskilt online.
Jag har bara bråte framför mig och att leva så här har blivit outhärdligt.
First of all. Do not be ashamed to tell your story.
This is the first part of gaining back control of your life.
You must not try to understand why you did it. Instead focus on not doing it again.
You can beat this addiction. Trust me. It is possible
Stay Safe.
Charlie ❤️
Tack Charlie
Men smärtan blir mer och mer outhärdlig, jag skulle vilja döda de som gör spelen, plattformarna, de är sadister,
Men som tur är kommer det inte att påverka mig så länge, jag vill bara bli av med det.
Jag kan och vill inte leva i detta tillstånd av fattigdom och skuld.
Så den enda lösningen jag ser är att avsluta det, att komma ur vägen och leva med dessa bördor.
Try not to be so angry against the game my friend.
Invest your energy in putting distance between yourself and gambling.
Until you can do this you will still be stuck in the same mindset that you are now.
Do not try to find the reason why you gamble. This is something that you may never understand.
Look forward to find your way out of this situation ❤️
Att tänka på att ta livet av mig är det enda som ger mig frid, om jag inte kan leva mitt liv så dör jag hellre
That is never a solution my friend
Att leva är en rättighet och inte en plikt
Och jag vill inte leva ett liv med utsikter till skuld och fattigdom. Jag är inte rädd för döden. Jag dör varje sekund när jag tänker på vad jag har gjort.
Luca I will post you my number and you can chat to me on WhatsApp. I will delete this message as soon as you text. So that my number isn’t on the internet. I will try to arrange for my number to be delivered to you

nothing you can do is worth death bro
Det är jag för att de är ökända tjuvar.
De leker med människors psyke, de har ingen nåd eller skrupler, om jag skulle hitta mig själv framför en av dem skulle jag dela honom i två
Hi there,
