Avoid the recovery mindset
The speaker warns against trying to recover losses, as this mindset leads to increased losses and deeper addiction. He states that recovery is not easy and often results in even greater financial loss.
[01:24]
Uninstall the app
The first practical step is to uninstall the Aviator app from your device. While acknowledging that addiction may lead to reinstalling, uninstalling is a positive initial action.
[02:07]
Reduce frequency gradually
If uninstalling is too difficult, the speaker suggests reducing the frequency of play gradually, e.g., from 10-20 times a day to once or twice a day, then weekly, then monthly, until quitting completely.
[02:46]
Set daily limits
Set a strict daily limit on the amount of money you are willing to risk (e.g., ₹100) and the number of games you play. This helps control the addiction and prevents excessive losses.
[04:07]
Seek family support
Involve your family in your recovery. Tell them about your addiction and the losses you've suffered. Spending time with people and engaging in social activities can help distract from the urge to play.
[04:35]
Redirect to productive activities
Engage in productive hobbies like going to the gym, studying, reading, or playing non-gambling games that require mental effort. This shifts your focus away from gambling.
[05:02]
Consider a job in sales or marketing
A job that keeps you busy and involves meeting people, such as sales or marketing, can help keep your mind off gambling and reduce the temptation to play.
[05:29]
Transition to trading
Instead of gambling, the speaker suggests moving towards trading (e.g., stock market) as a more sustainable way to earn. He advises developing skills through courses and paper trading, emphasizing long-term survival over immediate gains.
[06:38]
Personal effort is essential
The speaker concludes that overcoming addiction requires personal effort and willpower. No one else can do it for you. Without effort, the addiction will lead to ruin.
The video provides a practical, step-by-step approach to overcoming Aviator game addiction, emphasizing the need for personal determination and gradual reduction. The key takeaway is that recovery is possible with effort and support, but it requires a conscious decision to change one's habits.

[00:01] important. If you have become addicted to the Aerator game then definitely watch this video till the end. I am going to discuss some points. Maybe it will be helpful for you. Let's start the video. First of all, let us understand that if you have become
[00:15] addicted, that is, if you have become addicted and are unable to escape from it, then can there be some methods which you can implement in your life and try to escape from it. So the first thing you will have to give up is that brother, whatever loss you have suffered,
[00:28] you will have to give up is that brother, whatever loss you have suffered, ? We have to recover the loss that has occurred. This is the worst mindset and This is the worst mindset and because of this mindset, maximum people start
[00:43] increasing the probability of loss. Isn't it? Their losses keep increasing. So as you continue to recover, your loss percentage will keep increasing. And you will never be able to get out of this game because recovering this loss is
[00:57] not as easy as you think. By the way, you are in luck. Some people may be able to get out of this but what happens with most people is that this recovery is not possible and overall, in the process of this recovery, a huge amount is
[01:11] lost by many other people. So you have to keep this thing in mind that you should not get into the cycle of recovering losses. This has to be done to make one's mouth dry. What could be the other way that you have lost a fair amount. You are
[01:24] struggling with addiction. You have become addicted. So what's the first thing to do? Uninstall this application from the platform through which you are playing the AITA game. you are playing the AITA game.
[01:39] advantage of uninstalling is that you will have that application in your phone otherwise you will not be able to play it. But I can understand one thing that if you are addicted then you will install it again. You will be able to install it again and start playing it.
[01:54] So it is a bit difficult to uninstall it and keep yourself away from it. It is a difficult task. Still, if you can do it, it is better. If you can't do it, it doesn't matter. But you can reduce its frequency. Isn't it ? By doing this, gradually something gets left behind.
[02:07] If you become addicted to something. Suppose you become addicted to alcohol, then if you want to get out of it, if you want to quit it, it takes time, it cannot be quit all at once, so if you put in a little effort then you will be able to do things, that is,
[02:21] you will be able to do things by putting in effort, but you will be able to do it only gradually, so first try to uninstall it, if it is not happening then reduce the frequency, like if you play it 10-20 times a day, then play it once or twice a day, do it like this
[02:33] gradually, then do it once a week, then do it this way, then do it once a month, then you can quit, what could be the third way, the third way could be that you set your own limit. Set a limit. The meaning of limit is that like you said, brother,
[02:46] I want to play only this much amount of games in a day. For example, suppose you have decided that one day you will not play any game worth more than ₹100. If I do maximum then it will be over. Even if you win ₹100, it is a good thing. Isn't it ? So unless you are not losing ₹100,
[03:02] you should try to play for a maximum of ₹100 only. This is the first thing that means you do not have to take a risk of more than ₹100 in a day. The second thing you can try is that ₹100 is fine. You decide that in a day I have to
[03:16] play twice, thrice, four times. You should also fix this frequency for yourself so that whatever profit or loss you make in this frequency is fine. You don't have to play more than this. Now it is not like you sit down and play.
[03:28] throughout the day. Isn't it? You are playing it 100 times, you are playing it 50 times. This thing should not happen. So either you fix your daily transaction. But the best thing is that you fix a frequency and you have to play only in this frequency. Do
[03:41] n't do more than this. So when you fix the frequency, it will be a little difficult for you. But gradually, when you try, you will have to follow the frequency that you have set. A little determination is needed. Your will power should also
[03:54] be strong. So you will be able to do this. But with this also you will be able to get out of it gradually. What could be the next point? Whatever addiction you have, to get out of it you will have to take help from other people. So, whom can you do it to?
[04:07] help from other people. So, whom can you do it to? Family. You will be able to utilize your family's support better. So you will be able to get out of this. Tell your family about the thing you are addicted to.
[04:22] lot of loss because of this. Spend time with people. Isn't it? If you spend time with people, you can get away from it a little. Apart from this, can get away from it a little. Apart from this,
[04:35] join a gym. Isn't it? You should focus on studies. If you like reading books, you should mind repeatedly goes to such games, take it somewhere else. A secondary thing could be that you can also explore some games
[04:48] productive in which your brain is being used more and that game is not gambling in any way. So with this you can move there. Isn't it? Or you you are sitting free and just playing games, then
[05:02] No matter how much your salary is, your mind will be divided there too. Okay, right? Which job would be better for you? If you are struggling with this type of addiction then you should join a job in some field which is related to marketing or sales. Have to
[05:16] meet different people. You will be busy the whole day. Isn't it? You that we have to play a game. So this way can also be a way. And when you go out to the market, go out to do a job, then you will understand
[05:29] wasting money just like that. So this thing can also be beneficial for you. The next point beneficial for you. The next point which I understand more is that you should move from this aerator towards trading. Move towards trading. Isn't it?
[05:42] Move towards trading. You should develop your skills. Take courses. Learn. Isn't it ? Do paper trading. Build your expertise by paper trading. You can work here by developing your expertise. Do you know what the reward
[05:55] is here? What is the risk? Isn't it? These things will help you get from here to here. From here you will reach here but that will power is necessary because money can be made in trading only up to a limit. What happens in a game like Aerator is that
[06:09] you get the benefit immediately. The money gets multiplied immediately. That thing will not happen here. But you will be able to survive in it in the long term. You will you will be able to survive. Who has more chances of survival?
[06:23] You need to work there. Where there are more chances of your loss. If you Time will be wasted and you will also be ruined. So you need to avoid these things. I helps you a little bit. But one thing I want to tell you with a very sure shot is that you will have to do this
