to be honest it is really hard to avoid thinking about gambling if you are not so busy this ECQ.

Yesterday, for unknown reason, suddenly I feel the urge to gamble again. When the lock down was implemented here, land based casinos are close. I'm more of a physical casino player, however, I was not affected by the closure because I thought that this will just last for a week or two.

But yesterday was a different feeling though, their was like a feeling that I need to go to casino and play. Maybe it was just the effect of the boredom during this lock down. There are some mental stimulus, like my sister-in-law inadvertently says that he doesn't have any identification with her but his casino ids. LOL. Anyways, here is what I did to fight this inner demon within me.

1. Do some exercise, good thing about this lock down is that me and my kid age, 14 are doing some calisthenics and body weight exercises. So we did some reps and sets to keep my mind busy.

2. Netflix is your friend during this lock down.  . Watch movies that interest me.

3. I visualize myself totally stopping my gambling even after the lockdown. Yes, this is very tough on me, but I spend hours in my room doing some sort of mental visualization.

4. Talk to families, anything under the sun, bond with them, it is very relaxing.

5. Youtube. Search for inspirational video on how to quit gambling.

I don't know if you felt this feeling in this lock down. But for me it is real and I have to fight it back.

And i admire OP for this one,as for sure after this Quarantine Life will change for betterment forever.

Exactly, there are things that you can do inside the house as others have suggested. Maybe the OP is fond of reading books, if he gets tired of watching movies. Most gamblers are really also struggling in this pandemic. I mean we all do love to go out from time to time and enjoy ourselves not just gambling per se. We missed a lot of things, but if we learn to prioritised things and not think about our gambling habits, then it would help us to cope if ever this kind of feeling of 'cravings' suddenly appear. Our priority is our families safety now and how to bring food in the table 24x7.

Thank you to those who have replied, at least I know that I'm not the only one who have this gambling problem. My urge has died down a bit, but I still have this sort of anxiety induced gambling emotions and I'm still fighting it back. I recently found out that I still have some extra paint in my garage so probably I will take that as I challenge and do some paintings for the meantime. Again, thanks to those who gave advise, I think I can overcome this feeling in the next 48 hours.

Right now, I just focused on different kinds of things that I can do inside my house.
I just make sure that I always do something because every time that I have nothing to do, that is only when I have the feeling of wanting to go to a casino.
