I would if I were you saying to yourself that gambling is bad. That's all you need to do.
Or you need to look for distraction, but that's more difficult, I think.

The only way to stay away from gambling addiction is to stop and never come back and try  to spend time away with your friends and family.

Exactly this would be mine suggestion to follow too. Do not sit on your computer and play, try to get out. Spend a life with meeting people, doing something more funny. Just find a better way of spending time. This will be bigger win.
Yes simple and effective way of getting rid of gambling addiction is deviating our focus towards gambling. But I believe this is not possible without the support of family and friends. They only can guide us from getting away from gambling.

Sorry to hear this OP.  Like many have already said, you need to get a support group around you.  It's no longer fun, when it's destroying your life.  Find something else to do that is fun and find people that you like to do it with.

I think there is no way for a person to stay away from gambling if he considers himself as a gambling addict because even the weather now is being used in gambling so what else cant be used in gambling.

I think its possible, people have to think about other things.
They do not must think about them self only but also about their family.

I think the most gamblers are egoists.

Stay online most of the times than it is like to impossible to stay away from gambling because when some got busted than he never ready to take responsibility of this and trying to find another way to get recover this amount and than again start to chase it there.
It is not because we are online most of the time, for example : offline gamblers who only play on real casino.
So it depends on ourselves, if we have a self-control we will able to stay away from gambling although we are online most of the time.
Exactly, gambling is not only in the internet, is everywhere. If we have a problem with it, we have just stop trying.

The problem is not every time occur in you right? If you keep on trying. You will never know how much you can get from gambling. And you just let it gone like that after you lose? Some people to recover it is impossible but for me it is possible except you are stop trying

I think there are plenty of ways.
But the best way is to tell yourself that you have to stop.
Failing that you need to look for distractions.

You can make your monthly limit for gambling in different wallet and use only that. So you can gamble and be safe.  Wink

op is asking how to stay away from gambling but you are giving an advice the other way around. anyways having a monthly won't help that much as i have tried it to myself, it is not safe at all.

it is all about self control. If you know when to step away even when you are winning,
you will be able to have better self control of yourself.
If you're the kind of person who can't control him or herself,
you should preferably avoid any casinos/gambling sites and people who are associated with it

How to stay away? Don't hold money in the first place. In that way you won't be tempted to deposit it in a gambling site or play with it in real life and you can probably be sure that you won't be losing money because of gambling ever again. Or, let someone block your access in gambling sites so that you won't be able to see even a glimpse of it and be tempted to gamble again.

Once you have decided to quit and want to stay away, even when willpower is a little weaker,
you need to set up some helpers. For instance use parental control software and give the password
to a friend or family member - or, if you do not want to depend on someone, try out the DistantKeys
desktop app to manage the password  (full disclosure - created by my former flatmate).

That's good idea actually, using parental lock to keep yourself away from gambling
Even better, generate a random 30 words password and then just completely forget about it Grin
You can't access gambling website on your ISP guaranteed until you change it Tongue
you can generate it here up to 2048 characters Shocked

You should not go gambling at all, its very bad to do.
Just think about what you got and don't wanna lose at all.
I think that's the best option just gamble for fun if you really want to gamble.

Dont play it first time itself is best way.

that's why it's got banned almost everywhere, to prevent ppl play it in the 1st place. but the houses won't let that happen.

You need to focus yourself on something else like your friends/family.
I think that's the best way to avoid gambling addiction, do other things.

I am online most of the time; around 16 hours a day (at least for now). But I never gamble on any online casino since last christmas.
The main point here is, you must have self-control. If not, you will gamble on online casino like there is no tomorrow.
you are a maniac online. it is difficult to get out of the path of gambling. how do you trick here? how to control your emotions right? is there a positive way that I can do for this? I hope you help.  Wink
