Personally I was never been able to quit gambling totally. There were a part of my life when I was nearly destroyed due to my compulsive gambling. I tried to quit gambling for good but it was more difficult the more I resisted.
Now I have recovered with a different strategy. I don't use my day jobs salary to gamble anymore. I have dedicated a fixed income source to be used as gambling fund and I stop when I use them all. A controlled gambling has made it easier for me to deal with my life. I'm not sure if it would work for my lifetime but it has worked over a year now.
It’s great that you overcame yourself and found a suitable strategy for you. Try to increase the pauses between games and occupy the time with something else, such as sports or meeting friends it’s important to be more distracted by something else. And then you will understand that games do not take up your time and cause addiction to the game it is important to have fun.

There are somethings that are easy to say but to put it into action is the problem. To quit something that has been installed into the bone is not easy to do but easy to talk. And gambling is not only for fun but also for income. There are some gamblers that went to the sportsbook center or casino hall to play game because of income and not fun. So gambling is for the both side of the coin.

As others have said, quiting gambling need strong mindset because at that stage the gambler might be an addicted one. But if he wants he can still stop gambling.
Well, I agree with all you have said aside from that which you said about gambling being for income, gambling was never meant to serve as a source of income for any body, gambling for income is just an abuse of gambling, but then, it's really not surprising that many gamblers today see gambling for income as a normal thing and even encourage it, gambling for income is one of the major reason or driver and cause of gambling addiction , and for anyone who wishes to gamble peacefully with little to no chance of getting addicted , such gambler must do away with gambling for income, chasing income through gambling drive gamblers into wagering money they can't afford to lose, and when they lose the money, they start looking for all means to win the money back which often results in more and more losses, before they probably realize what is happening, gambling has become a major part of their lives, something they can no longer do without , this is addiction .
That is very correct and that is what gave birth to the popular saying that ( it is easier said than done) with that I believe we should know what hell of a hard job it is to get out of gambling addictions or any form of addictions at all,  this is why we always encourage ourselves to always try as much as possible to avoid falling into gambling addictions.

Because to get out of it is very hard,  and one of the many reasons that cause addictions in society today is lack of self-control allowing yourself to become overly excessive on some things that you should have ordinarily managed to avoid it happening.

It's because most of us people are not consistent, like today I would say I would not really gamble anymore, but tomorrow you've just opened the website of a casino and said that you just played for 10 minutes, and it turns out you played for hours. If we don't have consistency and self-discipline, we will always be defeated by our urge to play, which I know is a difficult thing to do. That is why others build habits on them, like playing sports, just to make them forget about gambling.

It is really best to divert our attention to others so that we will forget the gambling, stay busy on other things so we won't be able to think about gambling, and also always seek help from your family and talk about your gambling activities so that they can still help you to prevent it, like saying that you will go on vacation for a few days or enroll you in the gym so that you'll start lifting weights.
The best way to keep yourself away from gambling is to develop many other hobbies which also develop your discipline, as it is incredibly easy for a person to say they are never gambling again but it is incredibly difficult to actually fulfill their word, so people need to develop that discipline if they had not done so already, and the best way to do it is with a hobby which requires it, and after you have been free of gambling for a time you will not have that compulsion to gamble anymore.
Most of the time people doesn't have anywhere to spend time. This lands them into gambling and the initial luck could bring win. If the person have well known about gambling he/she will take the profit and leave it for the day. The new ones will continue to wager and starts to dream. They don't know within few days we're gonna destroy all the dreams. Better choice is keep yourself away, once entered we can't easily come out of it. This happens because of the loss we had experienced keeping us active to recover and end gambling.

It all depends on one's intention to want to stop gambling. With a strong intention to stop gambling, they will try to start with action and not just words, especially if they already know the impact they have felt so far. There is an internal desire to stop gambling, so they continue to think about how while fighting the urge to gamble. This may be a psychological war within us, but we can do it if our intentions are strong.

A gambler addicted to gambling needs to make up his mind to get stronger and start doing something to take his mind off thinking about gambling. Maybe asking someone else to accompany him in doing something could help him. At least he needs to do small things first to see how things change, and must be done regularly so that there are results.

Small action to start moving away from gambling, that's the power of will and maybe from that beginning a gambling addicted person is showing his interest to change his way, you know there are many gambling addicted people who really needed assistance but they don't have any such will to begin with. That kind of gesture will remain as intention but there's nothing will happen. They will just continue gamble and continue to lose more money.

Addiction to gambling is same as addiction to drugs and other substances, The first solution to this is for the individual to be ready to come out of their addictions and this could be done by having some changes in the daily habits characters and activities that could settle all the possibilities of sliding back into the addictions.

So for that, we have to monitor all our activities,  to make sure that we are not overly getting involved in gambling and other vices that could possibly negatively affect our well-being.

Although I feel that addiction to drugs has more effect on the individual than addiction to gambling, I once said that some compulsive gamblers can steal money just to bet, and this also applies to some drug addicts in our region, but the level at which drug addicts steal things is very alarming; in fact, they can sell all their belongings just to make sure they take their normal substance. Also, I think that it is more difficult to convince a drug addict to stop than it is with compulsive gamblers, but they both have the same case for resolution of their problem, which is to first of all be convinced that what they are doing is wrong and have to keep in check their habits towards that which they are doing that is not right.
Apparently there are levels to this and one is overly higher than the other. Addiction is something that builds in the subconscious act of someone having cravings for a particular thing or activity and in most cases, it’s always that difficult to quit.

The best thing is never to form or develop the addiction in the first place. While drugs might seem to pick when compared with gambling addiction is because, it’s outlawed and you doing drugs is you already on the band side of government.

Meanwhile, drug addiction plays on your metal state of being and for some, it’s an escape from time and all that goes on about them. This pretty makes it a do without as it’s tailored into their lifestyle while, gambling. It’s a view thing and how financial sufficient you are. Those who see it for a means to survival always peaks in this scale but then, addiction only takes a gradual approach to being dropped.

It is always good that if there is a problem with Gambling , Close to aAddiction , something should be done quickly, as urgently as possible, because a Pisologist can help, but if he does not do his part, he will continue playing and that is the bad thing. each person has a personality and a way of thinking , how to act and how to do things so that things can happen, and if an addiction in the game is hurting you, as is logical, you have to control yourself, it can be that the player be argued and do not want these things to be assumed or for others to know, because they may be embarrassed and they will say that they have everything under control , but they can stop playing with good treatment and as long as the Player wants to Improve.

Gambling addictions is one characteristics that can easily be spotted and the best form of antidote to gambling addiction is to totally avoid falling into it in rhe first place that is why it is always best to always stay away from every addictions tendencies because it easier to avoid addiction than to quite addiction once you get addictions.

I have a friend who is still battling with gambling addictions for over 4 years now trying to quit gambling addiction has become almost impossible but the good news is that he keeps trying to limit his gambling excesses.

Having a gambling addiction is not that easy to get rid of because, before they became addicted, there was a process. That's why having an addiction, if a person wants to get rid of it, will also require a process like time, it will be stopped voluntarily. And I think the guidance of your own family or friends is a good way to speed up turning away from gambling addiction. In this way, the addicted gambler can quickly help himself to break free from it.
In the long run it may not help a gambler to quit gambling but it will make the gambler more addicted.  Quitting gambling requires hard effort.  A gambler will find a way to quit gambling if there is effort. Quitting gambling can never be an easy task.  Because gambling addicts people so badly that it diverts people from their normal behavior. When someone loses gambling they tend to panic rather than quit gambling.  He goes crazy trying to recover that loss and suffers more. it called deep addiction
Stopping gambling will be very easy when a gambler has a strong desire and has the ability to defend against himself which is very large and one of the most reliable ways and can easily stop a gambler or gambling addict from gambling activities is by hiding himself in a far away place. from the gambling industry or moving to the most distant place or remote city with a life without a gambling business or without technology such as smartphones.
This method will very easily stop the addict or casual gambler from forgetting about gambling once and for all, but all of this requires a very strong desire and mentality to move into self-isolation.

That is why it is better to leave it to those professionals, mostly if we are having trouble somewhat controlling a person due to his gambling activities, because those professionals, like psychologists, will know how to better approach that addict to make it stop or just lessen his gambling activities, though the problem really is that if the gambler is willing to be helped, we know that those gambling addicts won't accept or recognize that he is already addicted to it.
We can do this if we don't or haven't been able to find a temporary solution that can enable gambling addicts to reduce their time gambling or even stop immediately. By visiting a professional, gambling addicts can find solutions useful for reducing their gambling and stop immediately. There may be different ways or approaches used by the psychologist in treating gambling addicted patients which will not be the same as other patients. However, it is true that gambling addicts may find it difficult to admit that they are already addicted to gambling and want help from others. His pride was too high to admit he was addicted to gambling so it took time to wake him up.

It is always good that if there is a problem with Gambling , Close to aAddiction , something should be done quickly, as urgently as possible, because a Pisologist can help, but if he does not do his part, he will continue playing and that is the bad thing. each person has a personality and a way of thinking , how to act and how to do things so that things can happen, and if an addiction in the game is hurting you, as is logical, you have to control yourself, it can be that the player be argued and do not want these things to be assumed or for others to know, because they may be embarrassed and they will say that they have everything under control , but they can stop playing with good treatment and as long as the Player wants to Improve.

Involving a psychologist in this case is not a bad idea to work on, we also have to consider the possibility of having a better results from this occurence, is not about taking the action that is more importantly needed unlike seing the effect if the action taken been effective, we should also not forget that using a psychologist has its own financial demands before they can approve our consultation on them, which means, we must be sure that this action taken has a high probability chances of being effective than not when we are making decisions in other to avoid waste of time and money.
I also have the same Opinion when it comes to giving up some kind of thing , such as Playing or having fun, or Drinking alcohol and the person is very Committed , as long as it is any help and more so if it is Professional it turns out to be something Excellent, I have never gone to a Psychological, but I know that these people help a lot to any Player or people who have an Addiction, so that they get out of it with the best method and that they do not have the crises that can happen that sometimes a crisis can lead to doing things more strong because it is a normal Reaction when you stop doing an activity, then the person gets so used to it , that it is Difficult Sometimes trauma but learn to have Control of not Spending all the money.

Anybody who is a chronic addict to gambling and instead of seeking for help, decide to hide it and pretend all is fine, is only hurting him or herself, gambling addiction is like someone who is sick, depending on the level of the addiction, the gambler might require a treatment of some kind of therapy, I myself having had a gambling addict as a friend, I can honestly tell that its not something anyone should be proud of, trying to manage addiction in gambling is very risky, My friend lost everything he had, including his wife and kid, who left him when his addiction become unbearable for them, so my personal note or take on this is that, anyone addicted to gambling should seek help, don't try to manage it because, as long as the gambler is still gambling, there is every chance that the addiction will also become worst .
Addiction to gambling is same as addiction to drugs and other substances, The first solution to this is for the individual to be ready to come out of their addictions and this could be done by having some changes in the daily habits characters and activities that could settle all the possibilities of sliding back into the addictions.

So for that, we have to monitor all our activities,  to make sure that we are not overly getting involved in gambling and other vices that could possibly negatively affect our well-being.
Well spoken brother, idle mind they say is the devil's workshop, even though the mind of a gambling addict is idle, to come out from addiction on gambling, the gambler might have to first reset their mind, by making a well determined decision to quit gambling for the time being until he or she is totally healed from the addiction..

And one process I think is very important for achieving such a target, which I believe you partially mentioned, is to get the mind occupied with other activities , and utterly reduce their gambling activities, if we check well, most gambling addicts are people who have nothing else doing, or people who have already been addicted to gambling before they found something doing, but then , have not utterly made the decision to try coming out from that addiction, so for this reason , the gambler is still addicted to gambling , even while working ..
Exactly and one of the ways where addictions can easily be broken is by first of all making up the mind to come out of it and that is what will make the gambler to make the right decisions and one of such decisions that can help most is by changing environment and if one has such challenge and changed his environment they thoughts and mindset will change toward that new environment and since breaking addictions is their motive they avoid any spot that could lead them to slide back into their addictions.

So the first work is left for the gamblers who have made up their mind to quit gambling and make attempts to truly break away from the hold of their addictions.

Maybe there are some crazy addicts who do reckless things such as stealing just to gamble, where they have no money and with a high desire to gamble they commit criminal acts such as stealing or robbing, but there are also some gambling addicts who just don't commit crimes and they usually only rack their brains to owe everywhere for the sake of their desire to play gambling.

I think those type are addicts are the worst one because they are willing to harm other only to fulfil their urges. I don't think that such level of addiction is good and doing criminal activities only for the purpose of gambling is an unthinkable act. Those type of addicts should be treated otherwise they could be harmful for the community where they live as well for their own family members. Those type of addicts can cross all limits and they will forget about good or bad, and if those are allowed to do such things without any penalty then their condition will get even worse.

Personally I was never been able to quit gambling totally. There were a part of my life when I was nearly destroyed due to my compulsive gambling. I tried to quit gambling for good but it was more difficult the more I resisted.
Now I have recovered with a different strategy. I don't use my day jobs salary to gamble anymore. I have dedicated a fixed income source to be used as gambling fund and I stop when I use them all. A controlled gambling has made it easier for me to deal with my life. I'm not sure if it would work for my lifetime but it has worked over a year now.
I think you are still with gambling man .Its true that gambling is a way of earning but still there is chance to loose everything .You have to controll yourself though you aren’t able to quit right now .If you can earn consistently you can go through but if you loose every time you you may need to quit .I think gambling is not a way of full time earning for living but could be a good passive income if you are on winning site .So everything is up to you that how your financial situation and how could you handle this better .I think earning money is always hard but still we have a lot's of chance if we wanna gamble we need to pass more time here and make a consistent strategy if you can ,nevertheless its a tough way to earn.However you have to think again to choose what you wanna do to keep doing it or quit .
