Does anyone already suggested the block as the way to stay away from gambling? I mean that block that is providing in special hospitals for addicted people and after they can't just look on gambling. I know some people who blocked from alcohol, but don't know a one blocked from gambling.

I personally don't gamble much and I've always kept a cool head, I know it's only entertainment and nothing else, I don't even expect to win money. However my advise would be to not empower it so much. For example, many alcoholics swear alcohol forever, then the relapse is worse. You can't really avoid something your whole life unless you have a life threatening issue.

I would say to try to know off the notion that would get rich gambling, you won't, just have some fun and consider your money gone the minute you gamble it. Just like when you buy alcohol that money is gone.

just play online games and avoid looking to some sites when you know that the online game you are playing is hosting some kind of betting. You can limit you bankroll so you can avoid spending too much while still gambling and make it disappear little by little.

That won't work, playing any amount runs the risk of winning and playing more and more. Just turn your internet off, read, meditate, have sex and fill your lives with other hobbies to take your mind off.
Well it takes time, it cant be done easily and its better to start by controlling yourself to lessen your time to gamble. professional help is also a good way to overcome addiction.

It's not possible, because when people start involving into online activities to avoid gambling at some instance sure they'll show interest on gambling in a short term after giving a pause for gambling for addiction.

Easier said than done. That's not how it works when someone wants to overcome an addiction. Addicted people just can't live without the subject of their addiction so it's better to give it to them but in tiny portions. Playing from the faucets only and never depositing your money on a gambling site would be my suggestion to quit gambling.

It tough for the addicted gamblers to get rid of their bad habits. They end up becoming beggars and then simply like to burn the faucets and tips from other players. However I consider it as a waste of time, when you can work on your own business to earn rather than let luck earn it all. Even playing with the faucet, some people may just become lucky to win a big amount but one needs to control their emotions and not gamble too much, because then they are bound to lose it all.

I think the best way is to control your self and to find something that will distract you
i suggest you read some articles that will catch your interest or play some online games or just hang out with your friends.
do anything that will definitely make you happy so that you would not think anything that is connected to gambling

Yeah, you have give us good suggestions, but i believe if we never strong our-self to left the gambling, than these all are useless. So first of all, strong our-self and determine that i never and ever play gambling. Because it is not suit for me, and many other games and things are here to join them. But instead of it, i can say that it is not easy, especially for addicted person.

Its all laying at yourself, if you want to keep away from it you can do this by simply believe in yourself and stay away from it, its as simple as that.

That is another problem, because even you are believing yourself that you can stay away from gambling still you need to have proper application.

And once you are believing in yourself, you are willing with proper application that is going to put you into success.

Also if you can't do it alone, don't be shy to ask other people's help so that there are the ones that will motivate you to quit gambling.
There's nothing to be ashame of if you are desperate for a change, everything has it's consequences for our abuses so we have to accept it fully as that's the only way you can seek help. It's a big problem but the solution is there, in reality it's easy to get in gambling but it's hard to get out, so we have to figure out how to get out, if we cannot do it ourselves then seek help from your family.

Exactly, we can easily dealt with gambling and lose thousands of our bucks depending on how you are desperate to win and hunger for having profit with gambling.

That is why, there's a saying that no man is an island. You can also have your true friends to help you with that type of problem.

So that they can encourage you to totally leave gambling.

The friends have some limits till that they can help. Afterwards, you need your loved once, and family members contribute to come out from gambling. And sometimes we required doctors help also. But your self-confidence and your dedication are more important to get out from gambling. 
It's easy for us to say that because we are not in the situation, when addicted in gambling the problem is really big that needs immediate medication. We cannot decide on our own as our mind has been poison by gambling so basically we need others to help us.

Gambling is a good entertainment if you treat it right but if not, it's going to ruin your life.

I can say that easily because I came from that situation and I can say that my friends did helped me and as well as my family for staying away from gambling.

But also I helped myself by looking for some other ways to quit gambling for real, I get engaged with some sports activities.

And I made myself busy travelling all around our place daily and that made me enjoyed and forgot gambling.

Find something else that is fun and won't cost you a fortune. I myself stopped gambling some time ago and how I did it was by finding something else to do more productive.

Its better if you can divert yourself into other options of bitcoin like trading sites to stay away from gambling and think of profitable source which can earn additional btc. Aside from gambling you can even enjoy yourself some having fun like playing music instruments as part of other extra curricular activities that can be your hobby.

Once upon a time I am also addicted gambler, but after some incidents, i try to control my gambling. Now I am ok I have control on my play. The bitcoin forum helped me to come out from my addiction. I joined the signature campaign and started to earn money. So slowly I concentrated on campaign and I got control on my play.
Thats good. Focusing on other things will help you stay away from gambling slowly. That way you can divert your attention and wont think about gambling for sometime or maybe most of the time.

That's good to put your time into some other profitable things, just make sure that you will secure your profit by simply saving it to your cold storage or else you may cash it out already. Because your profit to signature campaign can be another cause that will not help you to stay away from gambling because you can gamble anytime for you have bitcoins, just be responsible too.

Find another hobby, block the website of gambling via firewall. Id say learn something new aget busy with it, or start working. That will keep your mind away from gambling.
This has been suggested many times and frankly it wouldn't work. you can't stay away from gambling just by blocking access to sites, you'll have to take help from a professional/family/friends.

that's right, blocking gambling websites by using Firewall couldn't help you to prevent yourself from gambling your money if you are already addicted and obsessed to gambling you can not make it happen because it is still depend on what your mind tells you so it's much better if you will seek for a professional help already and if it doesn't work perfectly I think getting yourself to rehabilitation center could be a nice idea Grin if ever you feel it seems to be impossible to stay away from gambling .

I did this before and I can say that it is not effective way of staying away of gambling. And instead of staying away, it is making me more crave to gamble because I can still remove that blocking software. It is better that you are going to do it on an usual way by finding something else to work for your own avoidance of gambling.

actually nothing can ever help you with that problem even the professionals such as psychologists or psychiatrists because the help that you are looking for can not find to other people but with yourself . you need to teach yourself first to notice the bad things you have brought to yourself and learn how to listen to others opinion . in my opinion gambling isn't the one to blame but the people who made gambling as their part of their daily life .
At the time when  gambler realize that gambling is not a place to earn money for his life and his family and he find another place for earning money like if he get a job or start his business then he will not give all the time to gambling and will not spend all of his money in gambling but he will limit his activities in gambling and in casinos.

In short, making himself busy is going to be a good solution in able to quit gambling for real. And it is a good way to make his time worthy instead of putting it into gambling, he will use it for a profitable thing. But I'm still thinking, because a lot of gamblers are professional people and their own business, so it is still depending on the person.

but most of the time it is not what happens, most gamblers already has a source of income or a job and then they came to gambling because of the desire to make more of it and they become obsessed to gambling until they forgot their responsibilities and all their time are devoted to gambling. maybe finding some other activities to get busy could help but in some people it didn't work perfectly.

And that is what I'm saying, making themselves busy from other things or activities will be a good way to solve their addiction and help them to avoid gambling or just focus on their job will help too.

yeah I know and you are right actually but I'm only saying is that other people already ruined their life and leaved their job because of gambling Grin by the way keeping themselves to do different activities rather than gambling is a big help but still they really need to be in a deep self control in order to prevent themselves from looking in to gambling and make them more focused to other activities . maybe try what other people saying which joining in to sports .
I think it's all right. make yourself busy with other activities just as sport, or something similar, will make you forget about gambling, but perhaps only briefly. but, if you do it constantly, and even more so if you get a job or build a business and a focus on development, maybe it can really make you stay away from gambling.

Everything can be fun even gambling try to be specific like try to be in sports daily don't spend too much or think too much on gambling gambling can be prevented when you really want too, I already stopped playing gambling coz it is christmas season and i need money for my children
Good job, you really love your kids. For me, there's no stopping because I can still provide the needs of my kids even though I am regularly gambling. I think what is just important is we were able to manage our time properly and we should not give more time to gambling.

We can't really stay away from gambling why because we can't really stop playing gambling while we have money and we always want to try it to double i can suggest that you need to go out and try to chill out out of town and don't think about gambling anymore find a hobby that will suits in you.

Yes we can. Gambling isn't putting a tie in our neck and holding us. It's us who is pulling the rope going there. If you can't control your self, then you are almost losing your "will" and if your will is almost perishing, then there is a tendency that you would easily give up on other things too if it looks difficult. But you are right on your second statement, we should get out and breath fresh air outside and away from our computer, it's a good way to refresh our mind so we could think properly.
