Before we decide overcoming gambling, it should be done in a step by step method. You can't do it quickly as you desire to, you might be deprived by your daily activity or that stress reliever of yours could be a struggle as you cut off instantly.
Doing it into minimal activity with an optimum time, and by adjusting your playing time along with the amount of funds. Gambling won't be easy if you first cut the funds that you usually bet for a betting game that you prefer. Seldom playing or reducing the days that you got involved with this habitual activities.

if the gambler told that he/she do it for fun and not to earn or to recover her/his losses an alternative is to download casino games and play using game tokens for free.
Agree.
Anyone who plays only for fun could just play the free versions of what they are addicted to. They could play with peers and win and lose points instead of money. I guess this will give them the thrill of betting and losing with real money

People won't stop gambling not unless they are broke and realize they have lost everything. Discipline your self before it is too late.
Not sure if broken people doesn't or will never continue gambling if they have lost what luxury they have before they got broke. I have witnessed a lot of average class people gambles more than those who are above them in terms of social stratification. Even those who strives to meet their needs in a daily basis find ways to gamble.
Self discipline is the main quality to completely eradicate the excessive gambling habits not the number of monetary possession.
There's a story that my mom told me, it's about my uncle who once became a gambling addict that there comes a time where he sold most of their things in their house just to find money to gamble. The worst thing that my uncle did is to pledge their house just to satisfy his gambling pleasures.
I know it's not easy to overcome this situation especially when you're already in your point that you want to get back everything that you have lost. You keep on gambling thinking you can earn everything back. Actually, we're already lucky enough if we continuously win the game but even our luck has its own limitations. Without noticing it, our wins are slowly turning into losses.
I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do. There's no easy way if you really got attached to gambling. But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?

I feel to control your gambling addiction, you need to know the reason of why do you even gamble. Is it for making money or just for personal enjoyment. If its for personal enjoyment , maybe change your circle of friends or find a hobbie to pursue. If it is for earning easy money, then there are now many ways to earn passive income..msyne pursue a hobbie which can earn for you in future.

For someone to quit completely in gambling. It needs a strong dedication but in your uncle's situation, he needs a help of professional. It's in the worst scenario where in he ain't thinking right and just doing anything just to fulfill his gambling habit. That kind of addiction is in another level and cannot fix all by himself or advice from family and friends. You cannot simply divert his attention into other habit without seeking a professional. Upon consultation, I believe he needs a continous moral support so he won't think of coming back to gambling again because if not, most probably, he will go back to his habit.
It is true that it is easier said than done. Gambling is a habit hard to break. No one can help you but yourself, your drive to slowly move away from gambling. It might take time, but try to find other habits that would keep your mind away from gambling. People won't stop gambling not unless they are broke and realize they have lost everything. Discipline your self before it is too late.
It is next to impossible to overcome your addiction alone. Depending on the degree of your addiction, your family, friends, other hobbies and activities could save you away from that. But if it is an addiction to a worse degree, you really need to get the services of professionals. Professional rehabilitation procedures must be done.

Your uncle is on a very worst situation he will need to be rehabilitated and be guided by a professional, he will self destruct and lose his mind if no professional help, it depends on the level that we have if the situation is like your uncle that is alarming already and should be dealt accordingly, I'm glad I have not reached to that level and will do everything not to reach on that level.
I am not certain if this is effective to other but it seems working totally fine in me. When I feel that I am turning into a mess I used to switch phase by reading a book. Well it was my hobby first, and it sounds weird though anyway I love reading books that is why I try to do my hobby to overcome such potential addiction. I am not saying that they need to read books as well, what I mean to say is that they might be needing to switch phase to where they find things enjoying such as their hobby or whatever it is.
Many people think that it's almost impossible to break away from addictions in gambling, and in my opinion it all depends on self-control and realizing the right time to stop and have consistent intentions.

Overcoming addiction is a major problem in many people, there are now gamblers who suffer huge losses and still addicted in gambling. We can only overcome gambling if our focus and goal is clear. What do I mean clear? We should identify what we want after all. If we are seeking profit then gambling is should not be only our option bacause there are a lot of options like trading of cryptocurrencies.and stay away from the gambling environment or anything related to gambling and move on to positive activities and if you want to play gambling, you should be able to avoid it firmly and there are many other ways if you are really serious about changing it.
The scenario always becomes a redundant matter, that's why a gambler is more drowned into addiction and difficult to quit from gambling.
From your stories, it seems, your uncle has addicted to gambling. He cannot control himself and sell his house to satisfy his gambling pleasures. That won't be good for every people, and you already see how dangerous gambling if you become addicted. If your mind were losing control without you being able to overcome the gambling, you would not get anything from gambling, and even you will lose everything like your uncle.
In my opinion, to overcome the addiction to gambling, we need always to control ourselves. No matter if you win or lose, you need to stop what you did in gambling, close the tab in your browser, leave your computer, and do another thing. You need to talk with other people and let them help you to cure the addiction. But the medicine won't help you if you don't have an effort to rise from your addicting because you should act responsibly from the addicting.

Seek for professional attention and opinions, addiction is not something that we can solve easily. We need to know what are the suggestions of the professionals. I also became a addict in terms of playing gambling games but I overcome it when I visited psychiatrist. She limited me play and there are a lot of activities that she requires me to focus. She's opinion are effective to me and that is why. I have now control to my self.
If you want to overcome gambling addiction, you need to do it with someone else, you cant do it by yourself. You need someone to reminds you constantly that you are in the process of rehabilitation. Its not an easy thing to do, its something that needs ti be taken out from yiur system slowly until reached a point where you last a day, a week, a month without gambling.
how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?
That's the hard part if you already addicted to gambling it will hard to stop. I think you can only reduce the gambling activity but totally decided to stop it will never happen so fast.
For me, you can reduce your gambling activity by looking for another game that you can be addicted to. Just like a kid that playing online games and get addicted so it will help to reduce your gambling activity.
Understand the nature of your addiction.
You're not addicted because you want to make money, but because you're addicted to the dopamine hits that your brain gets every time you gamble, win or lose. The split second of uncertainty somehow appeals to humans, so much that gambling can be so debilitating.
I suggest that you fill your time wisely. When you find a task to concentrate on and you have tons of work to go on with there is no reason for you to gamble - it's as simple as that.

Self will and therapy is the ultimate way to go to overcome this addiction. For many people, the make a pledge to not going back but unfortunately ended up in it again. The truth is, gambling addiction is just like drug addiction but unfortunately it's can't be cured with medications. So, it's the thing of the mind. I once restricted myself to playing twice a week, then weekly. Now I am planning on going twice or thrice a month. Best decision ever.
