You need to totally stop gambling now, before it ruin your life and get you into debt.

The best way to quit gambling is to find other things to do beside gambling, maybe you can play some sports with your friends or play PC games to keep yourself busy and slowly you will stay away from gambling.

Just think of how hard you earn your money and the money could be put to better use, with $40,000 USD you could buy yourself tons of good food everyday, you could go for a holiday with your family.

Quit Gambling For Good, think for your parents, your family, your loved one, do it for them and your life will be better.

I was very bad for gambling every penny I made. My suggestion would be to invest X amount of your BTC salary in to silver and gold. You can buy direct from JMB and Provident using Bitcoin and it kinda gives you that fix that gambling does. Your gambling it goes up and you start setting yourself targets of X amount of gold and silver. Kinda addicting in a good way. Also the advantage of having it in metals is the fact it's not readily available to gamble. Takes a tiny bit effort to sell which gives you time to clear your head and think about what your doing.
Yeaaa exchanging your physical money to bitcoin have a bad side effect for gambler.
Bitcoin give a very easy access to any online casino, no need any ID verification,  no name and nothing.
Your whole story tell me that you have serious problem gambling addictively, go find psychiatrist and tell them your story.

I admittedly had a huge gambling problem. I'm not proud of that or the things I did. An event in my life started me investing in precious metals and it worked for me. It gave me the gamble I needed and helped me focus on other opportunities. Yes I still gamble and enjoy it. It give me a high like nothing else can. Do I need to seek help? No I don't think so. In the past yes I did. For the past five years I have gambled and controlled it. I've accumulated more savings in the past 5 years than the previous 20. Just my story and giving a perspective of what worked for me.
so you are gambling in stock market now? instead gamble in casino?
i think it might work help you out from gambling trap, in casino you will feel trapped to play over again and again.
investing in stock market will let all your money going up and down for long term and you will not withdraw it for long term and you can not gamble it in casino. but maybe a professional help still needed in case you are addicted to gamble again.

OK
Have someone else you trust hold all your bitcoin assets, and give them instruction not to give it all back to you while your still overcoming the gambling problem. Instead of going cold turkey, try to gradually slow down your gambling habits. Let that someone give you a daily budget for gambling, which would grow smaller in time. Smiley hope this system works for you.

I have lost nearly $40,000 USD in the past month gambling on bustabit, primedice, and moneypot. You would think that I would have learned that I would have learned by know, but every time I have money in bitcoin, I want to gamble it. I even lost 10 bitcoin in one roll on primedice.

I made around $50,000 last month, so I was still able to live, but it's still affecting me. I know the money I am currently making won't last forever, and I need to save it, but it's hard.

It's just burned in my mind to gamble every time I have btc, and I don't know why.

I am a partner big btc company, and am paid in btc, don't want to say which though.

A suggestion I was given was, every time I am paid, to convert to fiat, but idk...

Any suggestions are appreciated..

wow ;\    my suggestion is to remember a casino of any sort would not be in business still if it was profitable for YOU.
if it's a rush your craving, life holds many of those outside the pc Wink specially if u got the $$$
if tens of thousands a month is worth the "fun", damn idk, but you need to ask yourself if it really IS friend ...

Its a lot of money, you were did goodjob when you made $50.000, but you're too greedy because you want more and more. Fortunatelly, you still have $10.000 left for living, so my suggest dont gamble all your btc when you got it from your job, just gamble with amount you can affrod to lose.

You should replace the urge to gamble with the urge not to gamble but don't fight the latter.
Seriously though, gambling addiction is a mental health disorder.

Stop it now before you take your business down with it.  My neighbour retired from an awesome job with a great pension and plans to travel the continent with his wife in their 5th wheel.  Now she still works @ 62 yrs old and he drives a school bus @ 68 yrs old - their life savings dwindled from a quarter million to near zero.  They showed me all their winning chits from casinos and also their bank book while telling me the entire story.  You could see the balance go lower and lower by the week. They said the casino would send a car and driver to pick them up and take them to the casino if they called!  Fortunately, his wife snapped out of it before they got into debt as well but they are basically starting from scratch when they should be enjoying retirement.
