How hard is it to quit gambling

It really depends on how bad your addiction is tbh. Then again, any addiction is hard to overcome and gambling is no different. If you are addicted and need help, you should aim to seek Gamblers Anonymous.

Depends on how bad you want to quit, and how badly it affects them. By the way it looks right now she wont quit so you just need to give her a reality check by the looks of it.

That's true, it affects her badly if she doesn't win she usually eats unescarry in the night, she's been doing it for over 12 years there's absolutely no hope she said she would stop in 2017, what do you mean by reality check what can I do

Cut off her source. If you're giving her money, stop. If she's gambling online, change the WiFi password. It's tough love. In the future, she'll understand. She can say she'll stop as much as she likes, but from what you're saying, there's no way she'll do it without force

It's gonna be really hard she's my mum and I love her ❤️, she always saying she'll gambling once then it turns to 3 times most of the time she don't get nothing, how do I change the wifi password I'm with plusnet, trust me I try to get help for her in 2012 my councilor tried to help but she don't listen, I bloody hope she realises in the future gambling so waste of money it ain't good for your health it's like cancer, trust me I don't believe her when she says she'll stop force is the only way your 100% right 👍

Have a look at that to see if there's info on changing the password
I advise going online and finding some professional help for her as well. She won't like it, but it's what you have to do

I got so addicted i applied for credit cards and gambled 4-5 thousand. I didn't bet it in one go. Gambling addiction can be bad. It certainly strained my relationship with my husband even further. My dad use to gamble so I got told off. Was told I was as bad as him I wasn't as I stopped gambling. No support.
Get help for your mom before its too late. Still love her don't do what my family did. She's doing this to run away from problems and to get rich. Tell her she must Stop now if she cares about you. You'll realise once you quit what a difference it makes. Try online counselling for her and try finding a hobby for her and distraction . I closed all my accounts and told my self that I had gambled enough. I am a mom of a young boy who has ASD.

That's really bad my mum gambled away my mum like a grand in a month she always ask for bank transfers, trust me gambling just ruins relationships and people's lives for real, a few other people in my family are gamblings I think the trait runs in families, I bet it was hard to stop, and i love her kept telling her to stop she says she will but she dosen't, I told her she needs councilling she just laughed money's hard for her she's on benefits she's got me and my brother she's a single mum and that's the first step for everything you just gotta close all accounts and sorry it must be stressfull raising a child with ASD

Trust me I know how you Must be feeling. The first step is making your mom realise that she needs help. She might get a buzz from the feeling of winning. I don't know How you can get her to see sense. I know it destroys families.

I gambled for months an for wanted to win lost money back. I didn't want anyone to find out I was in debt due to gambling. I told my husband during an argument and he got really angry and said your just like your father! That made me gamble even more as I hated him for slapping me and saying that. I saw I was losing control so tried online counselling. This lady was really sweet and she was supportive. That was my turning point. I closed my online betting accounts and selected the ban for 6 months option. I then again gambled another grand and few hundred. Again lost the money I decided to quit for good. Now I think of gambling but never bet any money. So temptation is still there but I can beat it. I hope your mom stops somehow. I think try to stop her from getting money first

It must have felt sad when she gambled your 21st birthdays money away which you wanted to dine out with. I kept gambling online using a credit card so didn't realise it was actual money as at that point it wasn't coming from my bank or pocket. I gambled three grand in one go won 4.5 grand so make a profit but got greedy like masood in east Enders tv soap. I gambled all lot on another match and thought I would win but lost all lot and was then shocked.I was gambling few pounds every few minutes kept winning lost money back and losing it. I realised I was addicted. I was gambling 10 pence then more and wanted to turn it into a profit. I realised the only person winning was the betshop. I then sought free online counselling which I think was gamcare. The counsellor helped me a lot by just listening to why I was gambling and all my problems. I felt as a weight had been lifted from my chest. My husband had to clear my debt but hated me for what I had done for years. We separated but we had many issues going on.I think try telling your mom how much money she's lost over the years. As she's on benefits ideally she should be spending wisely. I use to be on benefits and know how difficult it can be. I did a foolish thing gambling and wish I had saved up. I feel like it was a trap and Im free. Gamblings a bit like being addicted to phone. If your moms gambling online try putting some gambleware software or something perhaps might be worth a try.
