I would suggest you seek therapy once you start asking for help on how to stop gambling. There are therapy groups for gambling just like there are groups for alcoholics.
I stayed away in gambling too much when I suffered big lose and that is only around 1btc. Imagine that small amount stop me and Im start to focus at btc earning method. I dont chase the loss and recover it thru proper earning method out there. Cant just imagined how people still continue to play after a loss as its not the best way to recover the loss.
A succesful idea is to stop, stop for a while and you will understand how a dark part of your life was by doing it, i know many people which stopped and are happier.
Delete all your gambling account, socialize with your friend and hang out go to bar, meet some girls and flirt. i think you same like me, better you find some games that killing your time,
Great strategy. Try to find something interesting to distract you from gambling. I want to add one point. You could write down your goals and ask your family or friends to supervise or warn you. You need help like the family so that they would delete your accounts.
Give up to this gambling habit is not easy for anyone especially won big amount just in few seconds and than lost all than it will be always try to recover this with hope that he can do this.
Even though it is not so easy but it is possible if any one decides to quit this gambling habit. For some time until one come out of this habit completely you shouldn't play any online games or even avoid using you pc for some time. Try to find outdoor activities which keeps you very active than you can quite fast come out from these online gambling habit.

the same as drug addiction, I think, if we stop gambling activity directly, you would be surprised and thought to try again

Start smoking pot. lol All your free money will be spent there and you will be unable to afford to gamble, Plus a walk to the fridge for a twinkie is much shorter the a trip to a casino 
Yeah change all of your money into other kinds of thing that addicted as I can say it is half good and half bad. The part of good thing is you can move on to do other thing and it wont let you spend more money on gambling and the bad thing is you keep being addicted to this kind of junk and it will destroy your body from the inside. So if I want to choose between this I can't because it is the same as dying
This looks like a good read guys. I'm only a few pages in and everyone has helped a lot. Always helps OP to have support from a forum such as this
I get urges similar to yours, I found that the two most helpful things were as follows.
1 - Find other hobbies to preoccupy time. 'Idle hands' are your own worst enemy.
2 - Put that money somewhere you can't touch it easily. (I loan it out to people, that way I don't really have it until they pay back)
Other helpful tips...
I changed the passwords to the gambling sites to something I can't remember at all (I used a random wallet address). I can still make an account but I don't feel as motivated.
I also try to move on by thinking of it for what it really costs. This i struggle with. I gambled with 1 BTC and got all the way up to 2 before I lost it all. (I know its small for some people
) but I try to just think to my self. "Ok, at the time I only lost about $300, even though it could be worth about 1k right now, I only lost 300.
Also, I don't know how far under you are, but having only lost 1 bitcoin I'm working my ass off to make it back. Once you break 'even' in other ways (investing, interest, buying) it won't feel so bad.
Hope this helps

Well if I was you I just seek some help from some what.
To help me stop my gambling addictions.

It's easier said then done. Some people need other people around them to support them to get rid of the gambling addiction. It's hard when gambling is easily available to you. You can just hop on your computer and start depositing money and start gambling.

Gambling is meant to be fun and not a job don't stress too much about it.
Occupy your time with other things and focus your mind in other good and more certain ways to earn money. And know that make money without hard work is unlikely
Take up a new hobby, go to the gym a few times a week or something. If you feep the urge to gamble go for a run.
well if it is an addiction, you cant just stop a person, it will make him feel mentally draining and affect his life. he will end up with greater carving and will be more addicted. just like smoking, you need to find ways to reduce it and slowly change that person mindset.
I believe that if someone knows that they are addicted, they got the power in their own hands to help themselves. If you know have a problem, solve it and find a solution for it. If you can't at least seek for some help.
Addicted people never know when to stop, this is the problem.
They don't even know they have a problem!
try to bliok yourself from gambling there are gambling site where you can blcok your self for 4 to 7 days in a row and try siomething also fun and less expencible like drugs lol
This may be another working idea who do not have self control. Most of the gamblers are not having self control over gambling just due to the reason of gambling addictions.
But the problem is there are many sites, so if you locked one site, you may switch over to another one. So, with out self control, it's very difficult to stay away from gambling.
Well you can just block yourself from most sites you use in any given moment. The problem is that in btc you can just create another account and deposit again with no problems because there is no identity control.
