One happy solution is to be addicted in restricted drugs, you will stay far away from gambling, since you do not have control of your own body  Grin

Your best option would be not to keep any BTC, without BTC you can't gamble. However that's not really a solution.

Your other option can be to seek Gamblers Anonymous where there is a 12 Step program and they connect you with a sponsor.

You could join a gambling addiction support group in real life. They can help you stop gambling.
Or you could set a small amount of money to gamble, and don't touch the rest.

Mediation could work too can you might be able to regain control when you gamble.

When you need help just go out and make sure you are not thinking about gambling. Keep your attention focused on 1 thing.
F.e. your job or even better finding the love of your life Wink

I have found that regular meditation and yoga helps take the edge of more compulsive/obsessive acts like gambling
I still gamble but definitely feel more mindful and in control of the situation

I like that one. I heard medidation is good for the body.
Right now i try to focus on very less stress related things, which calms me down.

That is probably the best advice on here to stay away from playing the house gambling. That and a post a few up that says do some basic mind numbing math over and over to wake you up to playing against a negative house edge.

Strange but that and meditation are very similar and will give you a good chance of getting away from thoughtless gambling. It is not about stopping but gaining control. Me the easiest thing I do to stop me wanting to gamble is think what that money can do for my child, it is near impossible to gamble then lol

For someone without that, the above advice and something physical will help out for sure.

I'm not aware of yoga or any kind of meditation will help to cure the addiction of gambling. But simply deviating our concentrations and focus to some other entertaining things will make us to stay away from gambling. I heard Yoga will provide us the peace of mind. It may help to stay away from gambling also.

i am getting addicted to gambling.And i am loosing a lot of money.I am loosing what i can't afford to lose.its sad that when you start loosing its just busted me again and again.at last i gamble for fun but now when i am getting addicted i am loosing too much.

Any suggestions are welcome  Smiley

There are support groups for addictive personalities that might help.  The main thing is to keep remembering that you have a problem....Keep talking about it in forums such as this and acknowledge the fact that it is a problem for you.  Habits take time to change so keep telling yourself that it is a problem on a daily bases.  Over time you will begin to feel more comfortable avoiding the habit that's causing you problems.  You've taken the first step already....don't give up on yourself.

follow religion, learn the way of balance in life. no need to actually become a follower, just learn good lessons from religions, they are pretty handy.
Lol i think religion allow to gamble, whether pastors still gambling?
I often saw him playing dice, there is no relationship between religion and gambling seems

I mean the knowledge from religion, life lessons they teach, the way of balance, how to self-control,... from religions, not just Christian

It's sad gambling has worked out like this for the op, gambling is ment to be fun but when you start to develop a problem it's not good. The only thing you can do is walk away from gambling for a while if you can't control what you are spending. If you want to still gamble set yourself a pot of money to use when it's gone don't top up until you can afford it. You never want to chase a loss

This is the worst advice i've ever seen tbh

I would recommend taking a basic, boring, bland math class that would explain why playing with negative house edge equals bleeding money. Maybe it finally make the rational part of your brain take over.

boring? u say it for yourself. uh, whatever, I don't wanna raise another war between religion and science again. do both, who prevent? no need to chose. learn about Taoism, Yin-Yang, 5 elements, sins,... is good in many ways, many fields, it cures the root of issues, not just top.
if u don't get rid of the issue root, u can stay away of this things but soon fall for others.

Moneypot has an awesome lock-out plan, you can set a plan where you cannot withdraw, no matter what, for x amount of days.

You could also set yourself up a proxy that blocks out all gambling sites. Maybe a backdoor can be made, so you can link it up with GAuth, and get a one time code to access some site.

I'm also sure you could ask one of the trusted escrowers in the forum to hold your bitcoin for you for a short period :-/

get yourself a dog, cat or any pet.. you will see how calm and resting your head

It is also a good idea or just go out play out door games to come out of this gambling habit.

Any other alternate time passing entertainment will help you to get rid of your addictions.
But the self disciplines and support from family members are more important for deviating our concentrations towards a new entertainments.
