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.
