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 ❤️
Olá a todos, tenho vergonha de contar minha história, comecei a jogar há menos de um ano, mas foi o suficiente para me levar ao limite, estou deprimido e tomo psicotrópicos e estou em um ambiente protegido para evitar automutilação., e tenho 3 certezas, nunca terei meu dinheiro de volta, arruinei minha vida para sempre e terei que viver com essa culpa, ganhei grandes somas duas vezes, a última vez no Dachbet, mas de acordo com as regras eles dão o dinheiro uma vez por semana e nem sempre na hora certa, e ver essa grande quantia e saber que... se eles pagarem a você levará meses para sacar me fez perder o controle, joguei novamente e perdi tudo, você pode pensar que sou estúpido, e você estaria certo. Eu entendi que esses são manipuladores, porque se eu pagar o dinheiro imediatamente, não posso receber os ganhos imediatamente? Essa frustração me arruinou.
Por favor, fique longe de cassinos, especialmente os online.
Só tenho escombros na minha frente e viver assim se tornou insuportável.
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 ❤️
Obrigado Charlie
Mas a dor se torna cada vez mais insuportável, eu gostaria de matar aqueles que fazem os jogos, as plataformas, eles são sádicos,
Mas, felizmente, isso não vai me afetar por muito tempo, eu só quero acabar logo com isso.
Não posso e não quero viver neste estado de pobreza e culpa.
Então a única solução que vejo é acabar com isso, sair do caminho e viver com esses fardos.
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 ❤️
Pensar em me matar é a única coisa que me dá paz, se não posso viver minha vida então prefiro morrer
That is never a solution my friend
Viver é um direito e não um dever
E eu não quero viver uma vida com uma perspectiva de dívida e pobreza. Eu não tenho medo da morte. Eu morro a cada segundo quando penso no que fiz.
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
Eu sou, porque eles são ladrões infames.
Eles brincam com a psique das pessoas, não têm piedade nem escrúpulos, se eu me encontrasse na frente de um deles eu o cortaria em dois
Hi there,

OK, obrigado
