Find something to replace your gambling. Exercise, go shopping, go out with friends, or do some cooking. You can also rent a movie, listen to some music, or do some reading — do whatever it takes to keep yourself busy. You could pick up a new, exciting hobby, like bike racing or climbing or welding. Your goal is to stop gambling, and it is not easy when you get such a high from it. Finding replacements, however, can help. Try and see how it goes.

Shopping in replacement of gambling addiction? No difference of becoming addicted in gambling and I think being shopaholic is even more costly than being a gambling addicted. So I would put an X mark on that thing, going out with your friends is a check, this will forget you for a while that you are an addicted gambler, hanging out with them daily but make sure you will not treat them all the time.
Most of the times, the people who are trying to quit gambling are the ones who are not winning anything at all, why would anyone want to quit gambling when they are winning all the time. Gamblers should just moderate the amount the spend on gambling and it will be all good.

It looks like you in a dreamland, not in a reality and that's why you're expecting always winnings from gambling. There is no way for you to win money always from these games and if that is possible then why casinos will run the business and spend money for advertising their site to bring more gamblers to the casinos. The people who are trying to quit gambling are most smart people because they realise the fact of gambling.
I will not way they are the smartest people if they were that smart then they would not have gotten addicted to gambling in the first place, but I get your point, people need to gamble only as an entertainment and not as a way to try to get profits or they are going to be disappointed with the results they get.
Engaging on gambling sites was so easy but when you play and you become addicted to gambling, it is hard to go away. Especially when you are gambled and experienced to win, because you always thinking that you will got win. However if you want to quit in gambling just do it immediately before it's too late.

How does one Put down Gambling for good?

The best way to quit gambling is to find other ways to stop your craving to gamble again. If you started a day ago or you're planning to quit, you should be serious about it because once you go back to your old habit, it's even harder to quit again. Breaking a bad habit is really hard, so you really need to work hard for it.
You can't easily stop something that you crave for a while and especially if it is a part of your life already. For people to make habit of something, makes it hard for them to stop whatever it is. It's definitely one of the things that you should take care of, yourself. Just like you said, it's really hard but it can be achieved if you put your mind into it.

True but will full determination a person can  overcome the urge of gambling.  Mind over body as they say it Smiley.  A person can also have the help of profesional people that is knowledgeable on this matter.  and of course family should be supportive of them too in order for the rehabilitation to be successful and fast.

When it is too much of addiction already, family can engage a professional in the field to help our a gambling addict. That is really the most caring way of the family and loved ones in helping a relative that is addicted to gambling because in needs more advanced scientific ways to correct the problem and not just merely ordinary advice.

You should at least find something that will divert your attention. Ask youself on what else you like most. For example, I like eating, watching tv show series and movies  and playing pc games. All of those things, playing pc games really got me addicted so much.

You know what, gambling while watching tv is fun, gambling while eating is fun and gambling while playing some other games is fun. These hobbies shouldn't be preferred for diverting your attention better try to do some off road activities or outdoor activities. That will be effective if you really want to forget and quit gambling for good, I know that this is very possible if you'll find your hobby.

Exactly, just form a habit out of a hobby and i think you should be fine because the gambling was a habit you formed and replacing it with something that can also sway your attention away is better and so a hobby is the best replacement.
There are some hindrances that you will face upon trying to quit gambling for real. Because there will be some temptation when you are doing something just to forget your gambling addiction. There will be those times that you are itching to gamble but you have to fight that temptation and it will be good for you just to do something that will disturb yourself on thinking about getting back in gambling.
Once becoming used to of a certain activity, ritual or person, it is hard to knock that out of mind forever and move one. However, something’s show us in our lives just to teach one simple lesson, do not get attach with anything because everything is temporary. Still, it takes a lot of time and determination is order to give up on an addiction. The best way is to face the nightmares with open eyes and bare the pain. Recovering is no joke; trust me because I have experienced it.

Gambling does make us addicted, if someone addicted to gambling takes a long time so as not addicted and stop gambling. When someone is addicted to gambling then the best way to not addicted is to think in the future. Usually gambler addicts lose most of the stakes than winning the stakes. If a bet is lost a gambler must think not to gamble again because they don't have the capital anymore (poor). Someone who fails to gamble, his property will run out. With the depletion of a gambler's property one would think that gambling only cost money.

Well quit gambling is not as people are saying, some people really need to go to a clinic to quit gambling.
You should just delete all your gambling accounts, I think that is the best option and put your coins in wallet of a family member or something.
I do not think that is the best way to quit gambling. As far as I am concerned, quitting gambling requires lots of things starting from determination. A person should be determined if he wants to achieve a certain thing. A willpower; nothing can be realized without a strong willpower. If you want to quit gambling, you should work on yourself. You also need a commitment. To elaborate, if you just take the first step, everything will get easier. So, it is just the first step that it seems to be hard for you. You should just take a decision as to quit gambling or any other form of addiction.

Correct, this is a mistake that many addicted people do, they leave an addiction but immediately become addicted to something else, and at the end all their vices may appear at the same time compounding the problem even more, that is why professional help should be hired if things are that bad.

How does one Put down Gambling for good?

just play the best as you can, only for the pleasure....
And if you want win just play "sure" match!

I think there is no "sure" match. Even if the odds are 1.1 . Everything is possible in every game. It is gamble. As for quitting it is hard. It is same for every addiction. If you quit gambling, you will probably became addicted of something else.
You are right, The term "sure" is not enough to win. Actually, I lost many times with a sure match as he said with many odds around 1.01-1.1, which it have a very good chance to win. I mean here that gambling is always based on luck and some experience of course.
The smartest gambler choose the right games to plays, so be careful when you play randomly without any thinking.

If the dependence is serious enough, then it will take the help of another person who will support you in such a difficult transition from gambling to safer entertainment.

In order to quit any habit , one must apply radical changes to his life . Changing the place of habitat, the work , the entourage and also the set of mind could greatly help any gambling addict no matter how bad is his addiction . He needs a lot of commitment and dedication and of course the help of his closest people . They should aware him of the dangers he's putting himself in and even show him some cases of people that lost all of their lives due to gambling so he'll maybe wake up .

it all depends on our thinking. try to think of investing instead of gambling. if we can distract us from gambling, I'm sure we can stop gambling for good
I think trading is better than gambling, because it don't need any sum of money to invest with like investing, but it needs some study and learn in order to understand the cryptocurrencies world and especially how it works. It's not easy at all but the most motivating thing is that people who master trading are rare to find and they are all rich.

For me, cryptocurrency traders are best when they are good at buying at certain price points more than when they are going to sell. It is really motivating to see good traders buying a bunch of coins during the prices is going down due to massive trader fears and anxiety and they are ready to sell during high prices of particular coins..
Professional traders are really impressive. They achieve this level after making mistakes and gathering experience.

This profession is also respected massively. It is the basic rule of trading world to buy at cheap prices and then sell out the asset when a certain target is achieved. This way, they earn certain profits. Other than that, they just need to patient during bad times.

Put a discipline in yourself. If you have discipline you will be the one to tell ypur self to stop doing gambling. No need to tell by others like your family, amd friends. Put negative things in your mind about gambling so you will be discourage doing it. Negative things like gambling is a bad influence in you. Gambling can put you in poverty through the mistakes you do. Gambling will not do anything good in you and no people become rich in gambling.
I also beleive that if a person is decided to quit and end up gambling in his/ her life no double thinking, no listening to what will other say to you especially to his/ her co-gamblers, automatic you will quit on it.

Here you're talking about the altcoins trading, you're right it is a very profitable domain which could allow you to double your money every week.
But it is not an easy matter at all, neither theoretically nor practically, and to master it you will waste a great deal of money.

Trading is way way better than gambling. Gambling risks your money, yes, but that risk is close tow asting your money. In trading you also risk your money, but that risk is not wasting but more on trying to get more profit. I better use my money to try rather than to waste it.

I think going to shrink is the  best way to remove this kind of addictions from your life since that doctor will be following you closely and regularly and will provide solutions and moral support to you that no one else could provide to you in a professional way . Your relatives or family should help you  too by keeping you busy and not letting you think about gambling or whatsoever . But before everything you need to be willing to quit it for good .

The main thing is if gambler decides that he want to quit Gambling then he will find many ways to come out of this habit but if someone forces them to quit Gambling then it is almost impossible to do that because these addicted gamblers will find ways to gamble. So the most important thing is gamblers need to decide first to go out this addiction. If they decide then it will easy for both doctor and family members.


right I agree with you quitting an addiction  require self realization why he should quit , He must have this determination within him to overcome addiction especially on gambling ,  People cant force them to quit they should just help them buy encouraging them to quit , but forcing it ? I don't think it was such a good idea it may just lead for the people to gamble more.
There must be a strong desire to be able to avoid and stop from addiction. because it is ourselves who decides all these things. the desire that is to be able to get peace and also a better life is the main reason. addiction really affects our lives and if we want a better life then stop from a strong sense of addiction.
