How many times have you said that to yourself? usually we only say this when we've already lost badly. Once we've lost control and a significant amount of money, we regret our actions and promise ourselves we won't gamble again. We tell ourselves we're done gambling to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

But what happens afterward?
Days or weeks pass, emotions settle down, we get our hands on some extra cash, and suddenly we're gambling again.

Have you ever been in that situation yourself? How many times have you promised yourself you'd stop gambling only to find you're still doing it today?

It is true that sometimes a gambler who wants to stop is very difficult, even if they stop it is only a pause to eliminate the feeling of defeat or regret for a moment, and a few weeks later they will gamble again because they are addicted to doing it, because every human being who has experienced addiction is very difficult to stop unless they have the right intention in their hearts and replace the habit with activities or keep themselves busy.

And in my opinion if you really want to stop gambling, it is not only from words because words alone are not enough because humans find it very difficult to hold their own words, but by the intention from the bottom of the heart and assisted by activities so that they can move one from that bad habit.

Stopping is the biggest challenge for someone to do specially when they are already that addicted to gambling on which stopping would be only possible at the moment that they dont have anymore money out of their pocket for them to make use for them to gamble. This is where it would be starting on trying out to take up some loans or borrowing money in whatever source that they could be able to pull through and if that addiction is already that severe then it will be that resulting into those potential crime actions on which some certain individuals are that trying out to achieve or trying out to do because they cant be able to control that gambling urge. Most of the time people would be stopping at the moment that they dont have money literally and on the moment that it do happens then it do pertains that they ahd already exhausted out their life savings and emergency funds on which simply means that he/she's fucked up his/her life due into that decision. Always have that moderation and control when it comes to emotion and impulsiveness when you do play gambling and never ever let those emotions and mentality control you along the way. Gambling is an highly addictive game on which it is that entertaining at the same time you would be that wanting to make money with it on which considering that this is the fastest way on winning up but knowing on the reality on which the odds or chances for it to happen is just that less and this is something that needs up to consider or need to look up because once you do make yourself that delusional then you would definitely be having some issues about money or finances. Stopping gambling is hard when you are already that addicted into it and its considered out to be challenging if you are someone who do fail on doing so. You would be only literally stopping when you are already that in the verge of sleeping in the streets or you would be able to lose your family just because you cant be able to raise up your family because there's nothing left on yo. Dont wait up for this to happen on this way because if you wont be that mindful about into these possibilities then you will definitely be ending up on one day. Therefore, gambling responsibly and dont go past beyond limits then you should be just that fine.
