I became an addicted gambler and with my experience it's really a hard thing to quit gambling. You are going to fight against yourself even your body doesn't want to gamble anymore, your mind will tell you to gamble and it's just fine because you can quit on the next days to come. And when that happens, you will still do it again and the cycle will be repeating.

The same thing happened to me as well. I cant quit and I keep on coming back. For some people like us it is hard to quit gambling because it might affect ourselves. It is better to keep playing but with small amount so that we wont really risk alot of money even if we need to keep on playing. It is the best thing for us that cant stop playing

the first mistake occurs when we first play gambling. for example is when we consider gambling as an income then we will very easy to get addicted. but if we only consider gambling as an entertainment then I am sure this will be solved easily. so it all starts from the initial goal that we believe.

that mindset, the way i see it, only serves to further one's attachment to gambling and eventually converts them to addicts. personally, i think it's more important to set limits for yourself going into something like gambling, and adhere to those limits you set for yourself strictly. i think people take way too lax of an attitude with gambling, which i can't understand. you're playing with your money, and i think that fact alone dictates you need to take a more serious attitude regardless of the amount involved.

It's easy tho. If you're a religious person and believe gambling is a sin you must stay away and never come back to gamble world again as you might get addicted again if you touch gambling. However, it's really hard for those who have missed much money from gamble to quit probably they will play again to recover the losses which is a wrong idea to do.

If you are a religious person for sure you will not be addicted in gambling in the first place. Let's assume that this people who have problem in gambling are victims of themselves. They are desperate to make more money so they might think gambling is the only way to solve the problem but they failed in the end, when the problem is money and you spend money to solve it but you failed, I guess that would result to a bigger problem.

People who have this kind of serious problem needs help and quitting is not easy without the help of people who truly care for them.

Indeed correct! A religious person will never get attracted by gambling, therefore never trying it at the first place. For those people who are weak from inside, it is easy to indulge in gambling. For such people, gambling is a solution to all their financial problems but they end up the other way.

I still don't understand why religion has to do with everything else? I myself not a religious person but I never got addicted in gamblings, its just I don't like the feeling when I lose something that I work in just playing bets.

Why did anyone even discuss religion here? It all depends on the person if he will be addicted or not. A person that is religious can well be addicted to gambling and religion will not help. A atheist can also avoid gambling without problems as well. So why are we even discussing religion as a factor for getting addicted?

the religious zealots like to inject their beliefs into any and all conversations and topics to make their beliefs relevant to themselves, just ignore it.

I also favor your stance in this discussion that gambling addiction has nothing to do with the religion of the gambler. It depends entirely upon the nature of a person and his or her own will that whether he wants to continue with the habit or finds it better to quit according to the situation.

If someone gambles just for the sake of fun and has no greed of money at all, then how could one state it as a sin with reference to the teachings of his holy book. In short, if a person is involved in some sort of activity, it is his personal decision and is never influenced by his religious identity.

I am not a very religious person but if we are going to discuss about will and stuff, it would be more of a philosophical talk but a person wills gets stronger due to its faith and his faith has roots in his religion. Ultimately, religion does affect human nature.

I have not seen many gamblers in Islamic countries as I have personally visited some. My dictionary says anything becomes sin if it is a cause of pain to anyone and gambling is.
