Put your bitcoin in a wallet. Write the private key on a paper. Hide the paper. Done.

it might be effective, but it will only be effective for a short temporary time. because you are the one who have created the wallet and hid the private keys on a paper, so you know where they are and you can access it anytime you want. and a gambling addict will easily sweep the paper wallet and gamble with it.

Staying away from gambling can be done easy in my eyes by finding other things you can do in you spare time.
If you find another hobby you will stay away from it for sure.

It is not easy to find another hobby that can easily excited you. It is even more if that hobby has become part of your life.

I think nothing is impossible if a person really decides to come out of gambling habit. It is just a matter of time and once decided then surely they can find some other interesting activities to do. Mostly if they find some outdoor activities to involve then it is will easier to come out fast. Spend more time with real friends and family members and avoid computer and mobile for some time until they can control themselves.

That is for sure, quitting then staying away from gambling is really a hard battle for a gambling addict but that is doable. If you have the will to do it you have to do everything no matter what it takes just to completely quit from gambling. Gambling is bad for those who are born weak and you have to accept that this game is not for you.

Best way to stay away from gambling is not to gamble at all or gamble just for fun,but if you are addicted to it then its really difficult to stay away from it.

Well its like that old saying "Beat your addiction with another addiction". Finding a safer addiction is much better than quiting cold turkey and suffering.

Well, the sad thing is that it is not easy to find another addiction. It is just like asking a gaming addict not to play game and they cant do it cause they are so used to playing game for their lives.

Decide firmly that you will not gamble and then block the gambling sites. Try spending more time with family and friends. Use less internet and try to keep yourself busy with other thing like some new hobby or keeping yourself busy with work. Leaving anything's addiction is possible if you firmly decide to do so.

Using the internet less nowadays is not possible as now everything is on internet even the businesses are also shifted to internet, the best solution is that he should have to start some other method to earn money and have to play some other free games to entertained.

Find another hobby. Understand that winning in gambling is harder than loosing is. Understand that gambling could make you win as much as you want in minutes, and loose everything you have in a few seconds. It's bad, even though I'm addicted too. I have lost everything I had in my Bitcoin wallet, now I'm gambling just faucets which got me 0.1BTC profit back. Go out with your friends, play sports, just anything. Except GAMBLING.

Some people are too strongly genetically affected to gambling input and they will not be able to get over it unless they get professional help and get some medication treatment that will lower this strong genetic component from them, then slowly you stop gambling less and less until you reach a point is not a treat anymore. If anything else works, then you didn't had a serious gambling problem to begin with.

That's a good advice but the problem is, what if you'll get alone and bored?? Your friends are busy and can't join you going out. Without motivation and self discipline on the addicted gambler, he/she will surely still has the urge to visit the site or casinos. Maybe just slowly and little by little stay out of it.

yes its massive problemand common problem for people who try to stay away from gambling,when people get boring and feel alone,the good adrenaline come from gambling,its suck right?? and i just found problem solving for this,you guys when feel boring and alone,dont play gambling,but get a friend and talk about anything,dont ever alone or boring Grin

Read and understand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_fallacy

Although that is a key thing to note when one is gambling, this thread is about staying away from gambling. With this in mind, the gambler's fallacy has nil to do with avoiding the confrontation of addiction. I will say that hobbies and social contact are key in avoiding the urge of gambling. It should be also noted that limiting access of gambling will also help. For example, we are in a bitcoin-based forum, but bitcoins are obtained with relative ease and you may gamble in a variety of areas. That sort of access could open up opportunities for gambling. Which is a problem.

But if he can block the gambling sites then he can again unblock them whenever he need it if he is addictive, the best solution is that he should not have to sit idle as idleness is the devil which make us to start any bad job.

The best way to stay away from gambling is that you have to control yourself and must know that it is bad to gamble because the money that you are losing that it is all wasted.
And of course it is bad to lose some money so you have to realize that you dont must play that much.

My experience when stay away from gambling, when it was I really a lot to lose in bitcoin. then I never go back and I tried to find another activity that is more fun or a way to earn money is better. but then I go back but just for fun and do not play with the use of capital.

If you are addicted to gambling then it will be difficult for you to get rid of it, the only way is that you can reduce the level of bets on regular basis so even if you loose it won't affect you much.

Dude Its human nature Everyone will be like that only;)

+1. Our nature is to find another way if we are prohibited to do something we really do want to do. In this example, gambling. Even if you block the gambling websites that you used to play on, you will eventually unblock it especially if you get the urge to gamble. You were the one who blocked it, of course you can unblock it.

And even if you weren't the one who blocked it (i.e. you don't know how to block a site), it's either you will search for a new gambling site to bet on or you will search on Google how to unblock a website.

Get yourself really really busy so that you will not get the urge to gamble. If your mind is so busy doing other things and you don't have time to gamble, it will at least lessen the chance that you gamble even if you get the urge to. At the end of a long busy day, you will be too tired to gamble.

I suggest that you try to focus and be busy on things that doesn't include money like joining a group that does synchronize activities, do exercise, get more focused on your job/career, find a new hobby, and/or study something that you were always curious with.
