It is with pleasure If you dare to play,  you should not be sorry Or feel bad about it,
nobody forced you to play.. But if today you feel unhappy with that.
I think you just stop doing it on your own.
And try to find something else to do but different one . Because it is so much more that you have not done.
 Maybe it's time to change your life Wink

The pushing force is our additions and greedy nature. So, in order to stay away from gambling we must have good will power and self discipline habits. Then we can deviate our concentrations into some other things to get rid of gambling activities. But slow progress is only possible.

I agree only our will power may save ourselves from any kind of addictions or forcing natures. With will power only we can develop any good habits which are needed not to gamble or while gambling we need to follow some tricks.

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. stand in front of a mirror everyday and remind yourself of all this complaint of yours about gambling which are truth, also if you are married reminds yourself that you have people that depends on that money before you gamble it away and lastly if you have somebody you love so much discipline yourself by setting a very high financial goal that could make that person very happy.
Good luck.

Don't fight your urges. Just embrace your inner degenerate and gambol.

Once you've taken the red pill, there's no going back. Resistance is futile.

Play dota. Play computer games. Play something else that you will not get addicted to

I think the better option to stop gambling do not go near computer and don't play any video games. Try to find a out door activities which can keep you active for long time than more chances you can forget about online gambling soon. If you play video games or computer games you will still have a chance of thinking on gambling.

Yeah i agree with you, but playing games also make you forget about gambling. games like dota is good for killing time because 1 game is around -+1 hour. it's good but better you socialize with your friends and get a job maybe.

Hi

Gambling can be a major problem for some people. I would say you need to have the correct mindset and decide how much time and money you spend on it, You must always tell yourself that it is only entertainment and fun, it is not income! If you limit yourself to say  2 hours a day, it is very good. Also try an distract yourself as much as possible, such as having a job, going outside with family friends etc, even leave all gadgets at home. Hope you succeed and good luck.

Any suggestions are welcome  Smiley

Just stop pressing buttons on the internet, its not that hard

While that is a touch of cheek there that is the most honest answer this thread has probably had. OP I felt awhile ago that I was getting an urge to gamble more than I liked and thinking about it more than I should but that was not hard to not play for a few weeks and the feeling goes. Follow the above its sound advice, stop pressing buttons. Mainly the on button.

you may have to divert your mind from gambling, you can find another hobby or find a better job, so your mind about gambling will be lost

Sports offcourse, outdoor sports. Do it with friend and in a competive atmosphere. It will urge you to perform again and again.

I play basketbal 2 times a week. And it really helps.

The best way to stay away from gambling is gaming. You can buy the new Playstation and spend the time you were supposed to spend gambling playing a nice and interesting game. Perhaps a MMRPG...

Get your game girl
So in order to get rid of one addiction he needs to get addicted to something else? Thats so like US government when they started giving meth to heroin addicts.To cure ones addiction they need to stop it completely by either focussing in other temporary activities or self help like gym.Simply getting addicted to something else just wont help.

Find something else to keep you busy

Always stay busy when you think that you got a gambling problem, go outside, go for a run when you get the urge to gamble.
Good tip. Having no money also helps.

That is when you gamble and you don't have money anymore Tongue
You can stop gambling.

IMO the best to avoid gambling is find another hobby that is less harmful, like playing soccer for some hours ( if you are student ) or like reading newspaper more often than not or such ( if you are adult ) .. such ideas seems funny, but trust me they work when it comes to quit gambling.

Gamble is addiction.
To stay away from gambling is depend on individual how they gonna stop it. Maybe is by change hobby maybe other like spend the money for beer and girls Grin
Like My friend ask his wife to keep his money to prevent him gamble too much.
