how to quit gambling.? help please. i really want to..

I did it myself. Usually I take Baseball season off because it's not one of my better sports, though I did find out I'm pretty good at it while helping a friend. When I actually quit, I skipped basketball season altogether. If it's easier, you can wait until March Madness is over, but I never bet that anyways.

The key is to realize that you have no money management, so no matter how much you win, you'll inevitably lose it back. If you give me 10k I can lose it in a couple of days waking up at 5 AM and trying to pick the first tennis game on the board.

Change needs to come from inside you. If you want to stop, you can. Avoid watching sports altogether. If you've got no money on it, sports will end of being boring anyways.

I honestly dunno how anyone can really watch sports if it's not a top team, or a home team anymore. It's pretty freaking boring.

Realize what you could do with the money that you lost. Get the ring your girlfriend deserves. Get a place of your own. Save up money for a family, get a new car. Or you can gamble it all away for a cheap thrill. It ain't worth the time of the stress.

If you keep messing up you're going to push away your loved ones. It's taken me years to get back in the flow with my friends. Some of them I lost totally because we lost contact for so many years.

So realize what you're doing, how much pain it's causing you and your loved ones. Realize that you're freakin broke or in debt, and if you don't stop you're going to be a deadbeat in life living off welfare. Everyone deserves a chance, and more for themselves.

Make the most out of the life you got. You don't wanna end up old, broke, and lonely. That old man smoking cigarettes walking up to Western Union to send your hard earned paychecks to Costa Rica.

Good luck to you. It can be done if you focus on the important things in life. At 28 I had been gambling for almost 10 years straight. 4 of those years I would follow every game, every night, every team, every spread. Full time job. It was physically and mentally exhausting.

Came a point where I couldn't do it anymore. Didn't want to be 30 and broke while I'm watching all my old friends getting married and having kids while I was glued to a computer screen checking scores all day and all night.
