Topic: How can I control my gambling addiction ?? - page 2. (Read 162 times)

Ask the casino for self-exclusion? Or possibly ask a third party, preferably someone you trust or your family instead, to monitor what you're doing. There are existing extensions out there that completely block you out from sites or looking up certain words afaik, so they can at least prevent you from finding them. Other than that, really, it's either professional help or you yourself trying to stop yourself from gambling. Honestly, I'd recommend not stopping outright, but rather reducing the duration you spend on gambling, together with the amount. Slowly, instead of surprising yourself, letting it come to you naturally should be the best course of action.

I think that - at least for the start - you need help from a friend or family that will handle the money for you and leave on your hand only very small amounts (he/she will have to know about your problem).
This means that he/she will get your full income and will give you some sort of daily "allowance" from your money for your needs. This way you cannot spend too much on gambling.
Of course, you will not be allowed to use credit cards or lent money.

You have to go out more. You have to find other ways to have fun. And you also have to understand that gambling is not a way to make money, it's a way to spend time (and obviously money).
You may need professional help too (psychologist).

But nobody here can overcome your addiction for you. It's not easy, however, no one besides you can face and deal with it. If the desire and will for girls, travelling and many other activities you want to do are really alive inside you like a burning flame, you have strength enough to stop gambling, since you start focusing on what matters. On the other hand, if the desire for gambling is the only burning flame on your inner being, while all the other goals and dreams are secondary I guess gambling is always going to be the priority in your life...

I know this question would have been asked many times already but I feel I have a serious gambling addiction problem which I need to solve...
I have been doing betting in sports since 7 to 8 years and I already in my life I have got into huge huge troubles due to gambling. Even I tell you I lost all my father's life time earnings in gambling. I lost close to 120000 USD money which is huge huge..now I think I could have done a big business with those funds in my country. One year ago my family got to know about it. I faced many many problem which I will not tell one by one.
I really faced hard time since last one year. But this one year I worked hard .. I learn some skills..I learnt web design.. Digital marketing some different skills..I earn some regular money now by myself..not much but I earn..
But now still I am not able to control and again I started loosing the money which I earn...
I dont know what can I do to stop it....
I want to do various things in my life with my earned money..I want to travel I want to spend money on girls I want to enjoy... But I am not able to leave it..whatever small amount I earn instead of collecting it I think to double and triple it but again and again I am loosing all my saving. Since last 4-5 months of my work I have saved nothing and again loosing all in gambling.
Please some one seriously guide me on this.
