Learn a new skill or watch movies and shows or run, find a hobby anything to get you away from the pc for a significant amount of time.

Yes, exactly like trying to lose weight: try to find something else to do that will take your mind away from sweets, so you can not carve for sweets anymore. Practicing a sport can help a lot because you finally have an activity on which you can count, you finally find a way you can spend your time in a positive way rather than spending it eating continuously. If you find an activity, you will stop gambling without even thinking and trying hard to do it. For example, pay a monthly subscription for a sport. You'll be motivated to go and do it only because you know you paid for it.

I think it is better to try go to psychiatrist first they can gives you some solution to prevent you to go back in gambling or they can suggest what is the best way to stay away in gambling.. like other said it is better to try also vacation with friends and family and i think it will work to forgot your gambling activity and you can stay away in those activity..

You are going to waste your money with those psychiatrist. Even they are going to give you some tips and helps you with your therapy. For sure it is going to be worthless at all, I knew it because I have an addicted friend in gambling and it turns out that there is no good result coming out after he have consulted a psychiatrist.

But psychiatrist will help you realized what problem are you into gambling really needs self acceptance if you can admit to yourself that you are already addicted and already engage with it psychiatrist will give you proper theraphy to resolve your problem.

Well, when I first realized that i am addicted to gambling, i get more addicted to it because the more i want to get rid of it from my life, the more i want to gamble. At first day that I want to get rid of it, I dont really avoid it totally. I started gambling with small amount that time, i bet almost .0000001 bitcoin. And im still addicted. Well weeks passed from betting that bitcoin. I get bored of it because of the low price and long time of playing because of my low bet. I didnt mean that i get bored of gambling, i get bored because it is not much profit and earnings. After that i started playing for fun and slowly avoiding playing it. Well that works for me, i dont know if it will work for others.

Based on my experience as well, what makes a person addicted is not the amount of bet he is making. I can say that we are addicted when we regularly gambling and we are making it part of our daily life already, that means we let gambling enter into our life and the moment we cannot control ourselves anymore that is when it will dictate us and we become dumb.

Find another hobby, block the website of gambling via firewall. Id say learn something new aget busy with it, or start working. That will keep your mind away from gambling.

This has been suggested many times and frankly it wouldn't work. you can't stay away from gambling just by blocking access to sites, you'll have to take help from a professional/family/friends.

But if a person is addicted then he will not like to take the help from his family, friends or any other person but he will try to stay away from those people who will forbid him from gambling. He can restrict only if he want himself to stay away or to gamble a little only.

If a person is addicted then they will use whatever means necessary to get access to it. The control is on their own hands - they must gain self control and stop thinking of gambling, playing with their money.

This is more easily said than done though. It needs immense determination and support from family friends and close people.

Why a person get addicted? because he start to get more fun at gambling and feeling that place the more interesting place then why a person will leave or think to leave that place? The best option will be that their family members have to restrict them from meeting bad friends and have to contact a professional and have to keep them busy in some activities.

honestly there's a lot of ways to stay away from being seduced by gambling . first start from decreasing your daily bet when you're playing gambling. ive been addicted also on gambling now im trying to stay away from it as soon as possible because its wasting my bitcoin i dont know whats on gambling but when im playing it ilike to win a bigger prize pool thats why im betting with a huge amount. and playing in a long run always led me on losing.

That's because we cannot abruptly quit in gambling, we have to do it slowly but consistently. Reducing your bets is like reducing your crave in gambling and you hope that time will come you will definitely lose interest, you need guidance on that and by doing that it's better if you have someone that inspires you like your family in particular.

There are a lot of examples in our daily life, people try to stop gambling but they only succeeded for few days or months and start it again, therefore I think it will be a good decision to fixed a limit for gambling and try not to exceed that limit. Only this way you can reduce the risk you losing a big amount of money.

Lets go to the root of it. You only gamble coz u have money for it. Either give the money away to someone you trust and he/she will give you only a little portion of it when u need it for basic needs. Im assuming you gamble with just btc so you can ask your mate to put a password to your wallet.

Giving your money to another person even if you trust them can be a bad decision. They might be bad at money or forget that it's not their and so they spent it. You might even forget that you had money to them. You can even start lying to them and say that you need money for this and that but then you're just going to gamble.

If your friend forgets the password and there's a good amount of money in that bitcoin wallet, you might even end up fighting each other and put an end to your friendship.

that's the most effective way of quitting gambling if you can't do it instantly you can do it gradually. Don't be pushy enough if you really can't quit gambling for real easily. As long as you have the willingness to stop your addiction and you are doing something for it, I know you can do it for you are thinking about your future.

Some people need treatment to get rid of their addiction as we feel, it is not that easy for them.
They need therapy that makes them prepare themselves mentally and emotionally as like any other mental problem, unfortunately even gambling needs to be treated the same way to quit it.

It's not that people don't or can't try on their own but I've seen people who really push themselves even though they have a family but they force themsleves to stop their habit as they have had huge losses but their mental self doesn't let them do. It sometimes gets worse than drugs and alcohol addiction as this addiction is mainly physical while gambling is a mental addiction.

I find those therapy are very costly because you need to pay those therapist for their service. Why not try to search out in youtube on how the same those therapists are suggesting those addicted gamblers on how to get rid of their addiction. It is better to get some free tips to your friends and especially with your parents.

It's easy for you to say it but it is actually hard to do. You know avoiding using your Bitcoin in stuff such us gambling or fake investment is hard because they are the ones that are widelt available for Bitcoin. When you go to the internet it is hard for you to find where to spend your Bitcoin except for Gambling sites and new hyips.

I agree, because you said it will happen, it's not like that. It is better to make it done even without telling. Gambling and HYIP is the primary reason also I think that makes bitcoin alive. Many users spend their coins indeed there.

That is why you need to have self-control first so that you will really be able to avoid the temptation to gamble or to invest in HYIPs, There are many ways to stay away from gambling but if you can't control yourself to do those way then you will still end up gambling or investing in HYIPs.

Self-control really is hard especially when someone is already addicted. I had a minor addition back then but I overcame it. What I did is to always think that I don't have money. I don't even have money to eat. So I can't gamble because I don't have money! That's what I kept in my mind so I stopped gambling. How this helps someone else get over their addiction.

sometimes i feel like gambling addiction is not even an addiction because it sounds even silly to say it out loud. it is not like you are hooked up on anything like narcotics that you have to use or you get the shivers Cheesy

it is a mind control thing unlike anything else you may have seen and it is already too easy to do and the addicted person has to want it to easily overcome it.
