I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

Same. I quit gambling a long time ago but ofcourse I experience to become addict in there. There was a time that I used to earn only by gambling. All of my funds are in a dice game. I don't know but I enjoy playing dice game because eventhough you lose a high amount of money you earn sometimes a lot too. It likes it doubles the profit there. So I end up loosing all of my funds there. Not a good idea.

Addiction is not good at all. It will destroy your life. You will not only lose your money but much more. Finally you will become mentally disturb. It is nice to hear that you quit gambling long time ago. Now you will fell normal. For me gambling addiction is just like drug addiction and is not easy to quit. You will have to struggle for it. Gambler has no respect in community.

Stop. Stereotyping. Gamblers. I know that there's a general stigma about people hating gamblers but on the other hand, there are communities that actually look up to gamblers. To them, gamblers who make a living from gambling are cool people. Even those who are just able to afford to gamble regularly are being looked up to. They think that the person must have a lot of person and the gambler is possibly gambling constantly because he already established that name and is respected for that. In other words, gamblers are respecting other gamblers.

Quitting an addiction can be hard to some people while it can be easy to others. Those who are only gambling because they feel like they have to do it in order to survive life or cope with their problems will easily stop being addicted to it once they found a way to cope with their problems in a different way. Those who are only gambling because of peer pressure can stop gambling easily when they stop interacting with his gambler friends. It's pretty much a lot about looking for the cause of your addiction instead of just thinking that you're an addict and you have to struggle in order to stop gambling. It's not like you're not in control of yourself.
