just block all gambling sites

Blocking all gambling websites is in control of a gamblers one day. But blocking a mind ( brain ) with full of greed is too hard and impossible for a gambler.


A gambler would always find a way to gamble. If he, himself, was the one who blocked the gambling sites, of course he would know how to unblock it. The urge of gambling is so hard to resist. And on a side note, you can't actually block a portion of your mind unless you get an amnesia. Roll Eyes

Once you blocked those gambling websites and are possibilities that you can unblock them back if you have been tempted again and much more you can't control yourself doing that. Our mind is powerful, maybe you should know the value of money.

it will be very difficult. when we have joined with gambling then we will be hard to get out. addiction becomes the primary factor being the problem. addiction is like a hobby that is difficult to remove.

Don't keep the money with you, let someone from your family members manage the money. And be aware of the problems you might face if you lose the money in gambling.

Try to find something else to put your effort in, life is too good for any gamble addictions.. :p
I will suggest to invest your money in something else and try to give full time to your new investment. if you are addicted and cannot leave gambling then do it but just for fun.

It's hard to stop gambling if you not seriously want it. I have experienced on it and the only way i escape from gambling is remember my family and my future kid.

I think you can surely stop gambling if you are not really addicted to it, and I think you are not really that addicted to gambling, but an addicted person even if he want's to quit gambling when he see or remember something about gambling he will tempted to try it once more that is really addicted to gambling.
Yes nothing is impossible and its about addiction there are many ways to leave it just take your mind in something more profitable equal to gambling like tradings/lending that can take your mind away from gambling easily because I have already experienced with that Cheesy.


For people who are already in too deep in gambling addiction, it will be harder to quit. It is like quitting drugs, you can't do it alone, you'll need help. But those people who are just moderately addicted or just starting to, maybe if they force themselves to focus on other things, then they can quit gambling.

You have to get some other hobbies that don't involve luck and money in the same action. You must find some other way to spend time that is ideally free (nothing is really free bla blah but you get the idea). You can just watch some movies or join a gym and do some exercise, it's good for stress. Gambling addiction is a real problem, almost any alternative is better.

Find something to replace your gambling. Exercise, go shopping, go out with friends, or do some cooking. You can also rent a movie, or listen to some music, or do some reading. Whatever it takes to keep yourself busy.Your goal is to stop gambling, and it is not easy when you get such a high from it. Finding replacements, however, can help. Try, and see how it goes.

Message @Hhampuz if you are looking for a CM!
How to stay away from gambling? my suggestion for this is to spend more time with your family and focus to your future life. And think about the best thing you can ever give to your child/children for their future. And not to teach them how to do gambling.
Gambling is only for entertainment and if you feel you are not entertain in gambling then you should leave it, but sometimes we are having a hard time leaving gambling because we already lose that huge amount of money and we want to win it back.

As a person who has overcome several addictions my best advice is to surround yourself with people that also do not want to do the addiction you're trying to avoid.
This can be groups focused on overcoming addiction or it can be online groups discussing overcoming addiction and of course, it really all does boil down to simply agreeing not to do it and not doing it.


Is gambling included to that "several addictions"? I think not. Gambling is something that is common and accepted by the society unless the gambler himself has lost control. Even if you are surrounded by people who had never even held a card, a poker chip, etc., and they see you gambling, they will do nothing. They will just accept the fact that you're gambling. Gambling isn't like doing drugs. If someone sees you doing drugs, they will automatically look down on you and/or report you (in some cases).

i believe that although gambling addiction is so much different from other forms of addiction but still there are many similarities between them and in order to give up gambling or staying away from it you can choose the same path that you choose for other forms of addiction to stay away or give them up. the core of the problem is somewhat similar.

And if you can't do it by yourself, there is no shame in asking help from people around you or professionals that handle rehabilitation. It is better to ask and get help than dealing it alone and not being cured. There is always someone who will be willing to help you deal with your gambling addiction, all you need is ask.

You have to do it by yourself otherwise it can be not possible for you and we can give you only some tips and thats it, you have to do it all by yourself to stay away from gambling.
The only thing that you can do is do other things that you like to do and just realize that gambling is bad to do and it is all wasted money that you have spend on it.

the other things ? gamming ?
This is not true at all. When you are deep in addiction you NEED help either from professionals or loved ones. Yes you need to want to be free but you will need help. Playing video games could help keep your mind off things while you're in treatment.

Gaming or playing online games also can make you stay away from gambling, because playing online games is using your free time on it, so you will not thing and forget about gambling.

yeah it is,

But I realized just right now, that if you play online games, or games it is also addicting, and that will be another problem for you right after your addiction to gambling then you're addicted to gaming now.

so I think for now looking for a best hobbies out there that contribute good things to your living will be  enough.

Being addicted do need a lot of help you are right, but you actually doesn't need any professional as you can still control your self if you are addicted to gambling.

Gambling is far more different to other addictions out there that do need a support from a professionals, count in there the drug addiction where it do actually need help from other persons and medications.

But gambling is only a choice of a person to entertain himself and if he want to stop, then do some other time consuming things that is also a tiring one. do travel to a different places, and more.
