The best way to stop gambling is to being honest with yourself about the reasons of why you are gambling, fi you are and you accept the truth then you will be able to overcome your gambling addiction, is not easy but nothing in live is.
I think you should try to find another hobby, something to replace this activity. If necessary, ask for help from people you trust.

Just stop being greedy. Greed overruns your natural rational self and that is what causes you to gamble in my opinion. What you need to do is to stop thinking of gambling as a way to earn money, but a way to guarantee losing.
Yeah actually... Someone should not take gambling as a way of earning money or getting profits all the time but they should just consider it a way of having some fun and that would be the way of staying away from gambling... because if you are just gambling for fun then you wont think of doing it again and again but you will only do it once in a while for just having some fun....

This is exactly what I am thinking about. Being too greedy will make you lose all your money and you will gain nothing from gambling. In my opinion, gambling is a fun and exciting activity which make you happy and excited after an exhausting day.

Yeah this is one of the reason why a gambler who wants to quit in gambling but not quitting effectively. Maybe you need to get out of that way of thinking first before quitting gambling. Because if you are going to think and not to be greedy then there is no reason after all on why you need to gamble, unless you are just gambling for fun.
removing emotions and allowing your strategy to control the game will let you win, same thing when you really wanted to quit, you
need to practice controlling your mind and do not allow your emotion to control you, making a clear statement that you wanted to stop
together with your dedication will make it happen.
