Why it's important to say stop in time
To say "stop" is to keep the system: budget, nerves, relationships. In reality, the stop is most often late for one spin, one replenishment, "another 10 minutes." Below is practical logic that turns a "stop" from a decision on emotions into a procedure.
1) Why "stop" is needed in advance, and not "when it will be bad"
Dispersion is faster than emotion. A series of unhappy outcomes can happen suddenly; if there is no foot, the "dogon" is turned on.
Memory distorts facts. After the plus - reassessment of control; after the minus - "I'll fix it now." Procedures protect against self-deception.
The price of delay increases non-linearly. One missed stop pulls along: an increase in the rate → an unscheduled deposit → sleep breakdown → conflict/debt.
2) STOP NOW thresholds (one Yes is enough)
Money
Monthly spending on the game tends to exceed 1-2% of income.
There was an unscheduled deposit or the thought "I'll take it from the mandatory ones - I'll return it tomorrow."
Time
Two or more timer violations in a week.
Night sessions after 23:00 ≥3 time/week.
Emotions
Anger/anxiety/euphoria at the entrance of the ≥6/10.
There was an impulse to "return right now."
Behavior
Conscious secrecy (deleted the story, "forgot" to say about the amount).
Ignoring two consecutive reality checks.
Body
Second night in a row with <6.5 hours of sleep due to play.
Any item is active → the game is prohibited until the rules are revised.
3) "Traffic light" solutions: what to do in the green/yellow/red zones
Green: limits are respected, emotions are ≤3/10, there are no deposits outside the plan.
Action: play on the "cold frame" (bet ≤1% BR, SL 2-3% BR, SW 5-10% BR, 20-25 min + reality check).
Yellow: 1-2 violations/week (time, impulse, bet), thoughts of "dogon."
Action (soft stop): pause 24-48 h, rate reduction by 30-50%, prohibition of night sessions, diary "6 lines."
Red: any threshold from section 2 or dogons/unscheduled deposits/stealth.
Action (hard stop): cool-off 72 h-30 days, zero card limit "Game," blocker "gambling," conversation with buddy/specialist.
4) Three levels of foot: choose by situation
1. Soft (10-30 minutes). STOP pause: close the tab → breathing 4-4-6 × 10 cycles → a glass of water → 5 minutes of walking → quick analysis (1 lesson, 1 correction).
2. Hard (24-72 hours). Cool-off, card limit = 0, deletion of saved cards, blocker (code for buddy), diary "6 lines" for the last session, sleep.
3. Full (30 + days). Self-exclusion from the operator/registry, financial restructuring, therapeutic support, family contract.
5) Stop scripts (speak out loud - this reduces momentum)
To myself: "Stop. I can see the momentum. First breathing 4-4-6 × 10, then the decision according to the rules."
Close: "My threshold worked. I stop for 72 hours. Help me check limits and locks."
Support: "Please activate the cool-off/self-exclusion for [term], disable marketing and save confirmation."
6) "STOP-72" protocol (step by step, 20 minutes + maintenance)
Step 1. Technique (5 min). Close game → breathing 4-4-6 × 10 → 90 sec urge surfing.
Step 2. Technique + soc (3 min). Write buddy: "Stop 72h, check limits."
Step 3. Technique + finance (7 min). Game card: daily limit = 0; delete auto-saved cards; enable the "gambling" blocker.
Step 4. Technique + analysis (5 min). "6 lines": plan/facts/result/emotions/disorders/correction.
Support 72 h: sleep 7-8 h, 20 min walk/day, no betting streams/chats; schedule a consultation (if relapses recur).
7) "Cold frame" for the future (when you return to the game as leisure)
Entry only when emotions are ≤3/10.
Rate ≤1% of current BR; SL 2–3% BR; SW 5–10% BR.
Sessions 20-25 min + reality check every 15-20 min (mandatory pause 60 sec).
Zero unscheduled deposits. Replenishment - once a week from discretion.
Winning rule 50/30/20. 50% → reserve, 30% → goals, 20% → BR (not higher than the monthly ceiling).
8) Frequent self-justifications - and direct answers
"Five more minutes - that's all." No, it isn't. The timer rang → pause 60 seconds or exit.
"Now I will beat and stop." This is a dogon. Stop loss worked → exit and cool-off 24-72 hours.
"Today is an exception." There are no exceptions in the system, there are procedures. Any concession = pause signal.
"A big win will fix everything." Without rules, a big plus adds to the risk. Apply the 50/30/20 immediately.
9) "Healthy foot" metrics (once a week, 10 minutes)
NED (No Extra Deposits): weeks without unscheduled deposits (target - growing series).
SRL (Stop-loss Respect Level):% of sessions with observed stop loss (target ≥80%).
RCP (Reality-Check Prompt):% of reality checks without ignoring (target ≥90%).
ERT (Emotion Reaction Time): seconds from pulse to technique (target <30 seconds).
Sleep7 +: nights with 7 + hours of sleep (target ≥5/7).
10) "Say Stop Today" checklist (save in notes)
- Threshold activated → stop right now.
- Breathing 4-4-6 × 10 + urge surfing 90 sec
- Game Card: Limit = 0; deleted saved cards.
- Cool-off 72 h included; blocker - active (code for buddy).
- Buddy message sent; "10 min review" slot in the calendar.
- The entry "6 lines" is made; one rule correction is fixed.
- Sleep/water/walk is scheduled for today.
"Stop" is not a whim or weakness, but an engineering fuse. It's cheap when it's early and expensive when it's late. Predefined thresholds, three levels of stopping, understandable scripts and a 72-hour protocol turn emotion into action, and the game back into controlled leisure. Make your stop plan today - and tomorrow it will save you money, time and peace of mind.
