Not sure it is already a recommended way of getting rid off gambling addictions or how many people will agree to it but I am sure it must be an easiest way to divert your focus off the gambling so that you may start staying away from gambling which will easily help you to recover from gambling addictions.
Gambling addiction just need your focus to make it more severe whereas if you get engaged with some other thing which requires all your attention then you can easily deviate your focus. It will definitely work for boys and not sure about girls because I have experienced in real life and just talking from my own experiences.

From experience: a gambler can adjust himself or herself from being addicted if he or she can control their mindset and not the otherwise. Many have be addicted because of the lack of self control in their gambling life, i had a friend who was addicted to betting and this continued with the victim until he was able to apply a self control on the gambling. This actually helped him to get over the addiction for a very long time. Recovery from gambling addiction can be achieve when the addicted victim is determine to get over the addiction, hence, there's no possibility of any addicted gambler to escape the net of addiction.
I think this corona will set a lot of people back on addiction because everyone is isolated at home and they have nothing to do, they don't go to work and they they are basically stuck at home. So of course a lot of people will be working at home and they are totally focusing on gambling by the looks of it which is why there will be a lot more people gambling, and there would be some people who recently quit or maybe quit a bit ago that will relapse and start gambling again.
Hopefully this won't take too long and we will once again go outside, the more we stay inside the more addictions will get worse, not just gambling but other ones as well and that is why it is risky, think of all the people who needs to go to therapy who can't because of it, people who go to psychologist and so forth, basically all have to stuck at home and can't get the help they need.
Family plays a big factor if you want to recover from gambling, our family is our motivation why we are working hard and why we are savings for the future, we get lost sometimes but our love for our family will always get us back to our senses and responsibility if you have a strong bond with your family you can overcome all obstacles.
In the past few years many addict players who already tried to stopping gambling they find ways or create their own to itself but it's not work some of them only are success to stop being addicted in playing gambling games.

Online and real life gambling addiction has a great impact to oneself. Some people tend to be addicted to either one or both of the fore mentioned activities.
The list you provided can indeed help those personalities totally consumed by gambling. Focusing on family and friends can really help and be a diversion for those addicted in gambling. They also play a big part in emotional support by supporting and encouraging someone in slowly withdrawing from his/her addiction in it. I also agree that jotting down notes about its effect to someone’s life can help someone recover little by little because he/she can reflect. Reading and searching can make an impact as well so that they would know the repercussions of what they’re doing resulting to leaving their bad habit. I also agree that addiction should be addressed well because it’s a serious matter that’s why they should seek professional help.
Above all the things you listed I totally agree with, I believe that someone should accept first and totally admit to themselves that they’re addicted in gambling so that they could help themselves. Denying it won’t help. Admitting it and totally thinking you need to help yourself and you need assistance from other people to recover is the key to successfully beat gambling addiction.

But for me, the way I often do is fight ourselves and think logically. Thinking about what will happen if we continue to play gambling and throw away our money, I keep thinking about this. so I realized gambling addiction was a bad thing indeed.
Not everyone does this kind of strong intellectual. They are having difficulty to conquer it because their minds can't concentrate and only thinking of the same thing and that is to take back their money, their losses and everything. When someone does have this thinking, it's very hard for him to think logically because he's already straightminded and it's difficult to stop them unless they finally realize that it's not making them better in the long run.One of the best things we have today is gambling because by this we can now make a lot of earnings that we can use to our selves to makes more earning because by just having a good time to play at the same time we are earning a lot of profit. Sometimes we cannot say that the win all the time we are gonna win our games but some of them are still having consistent of earning but there are few people have their own luck because they lost their money a lot. Some of them having some recovery with the help of their taking some rest to make more chances to decide about the things they do before they will make a new game to make more earnings. But it takes a lot of time to recover for having the mistake we made still always be optimistic
If someone is already addicted it is difficult for the individual to make a stop in that person's addiction, the same thing for the heavy gambler.
Heavy gambler and an addicted gambler are somewhat the same since they are both addicted into it and stopping gambling for them are really hard and there are many things that you need like family help, experts in mental things, discipline etc. There are many ways to recover from being addicted to gambling and most of them are already stated here. Now the problem is not all of the gamblers can do it for some reasons. Yes we can say that our family will be a big help in recovering but what if we don't have any family members near then it will be hard for the gambler.
As @YOSHIE said, if you can stop doing things that you are already addicted with like liquor or cigarette addiction then it will be easy for them to stop gambling. In the end, it will be go down to how discipline you are and how strong your willpower is. If you really want to stop then you will do everything to stop and vice versa.

It's not good to ignore your family just for gambling but we should try to give both equally time as when you feel like gambling then gamble and when the time to spend time with family then spend your time with family. So addictions are not good for anything it can spoil our mental relaxation and will make us think all the time only about gambling.

Make ourselves aware that playing gambling excessively will be bad for our future and harm our family. If we have this perception, then it is easier to recover from addiction. Some people are hard to recover because they don't admit that they are already addicted to gambling and they think addiction isn't something dangerous. Yeah, they don't think logically. 
I learned about neuroscience and also meditation.. we were taught to control the mind, addicts (gambling, sex or other) are people who are unable to control their minds. there is also one more way, namely, by the following hypnotherapy, the addict is hypnotized and then given a suggestion to reduce or even stop gambling.. strengthen your resolve, if you want to let go of your gambling addiction because you yourself are the owner of your body and mind.
Yes I read something about this in one book and it's highly recommended for those who want and very determined to stop gambling it's effective to the majority of the gamblers and I think there are pieces of evidence the success ratio is higher to those who are determined to stop gambling its part of the healing package of some professionals.
I don't know how to work or not, but indeed hypnosis is one way to get into the thoughts of the person concerned. But for me, the way I often do is fight ourselves and think logically.

Realistically, nearly all of this requires a significant amount of willpower to implement.
Sometimes an addiction doesn't need to be cured, because the damage is either minimal or trivial, whereas other times it does need intervention but the person lacks the willpower/resources to do so.
I recommend that anybody who has suffered serious financial detriment because they are unable to control themselves should implement time locks on their funds.
Time locks, remove access to your funds (hand it over to a trusted third-party) and develop coping strategies for when your urges begin to kick in.
Besides all of this it is very important to keep your eyes open and not fall into another activity that could get you addicted to it, some people have personalities that are disposed to get addicted to many different things so even if you do not gamble and you overcome gambling addiction it will be for nothing if you become addicted to something different like video games, so it is very important to be vigilant about your behaviour especially since those trying to leave their addiction behind them will be very vulnerable to fall into the habit once again.

The best was to recover from gambling is doing things that would give you pleasure and make you forget about gambling.
This might be spending some time with your family outdoors and by not having any access to internet or an online gambling website - or even a traditional one.
Through time you are going to remove it from your routine and forget about it.
It's not possible once you are into gambling since you don't want to spend time with family, I have been into addiction earlier so I know how it feels being into gambling since you will always feel like you are alone in the world and you just need more money to gamble and win big once and leave gambling, which we all know never happens.This might be spending some time with your family outdoors and by not having any access to internet or an online gambling website - or even a traditional one.
Through time you are going to remove it from your routine and forget about it.
The only way to recover from gambling is actually shame yourself by either telling your parents or friends that actually helps a lot because you get support from them and you also feel down like I would never gamble again.
The secret is how you became busy doing other things than gambling.

Meditation can be a way for people to control their minds, but that is not as easy as it says. I tried by myself to meditate, but I need time to get focus and controlling my mind. I feel that meditation can make ourselves calm, and we can think about something without a rush. I heard that hypnotherapy needs special skills to hypnotized person so the effect will work for them. The way to recover from the addiction to gambling will not hard if we have a strong mind to leave gambling forever.

It was easy to say that we can escape from addiction but then, it is really hard to do it.
We cant say that there is no chance of being untied into addiction but of course, it needs to work hard on it and most probably it takes months (not days) before we are finally out from the circle.
Also depends on what level of addiction you are suffering from because if it is just an urge to gamble and you bust a few coins that's not a big issue and can be easily sorted by getting a job or something that consumes your time. But, if your addiction levels are higher and you feel like gambling is everything to you and everything else is just not as important than surely you are into some serious problem and the addiction will only grow more dangerous as time passes.We cant say that there is no chance of being untied into addiction but of course, it needs to work hard on it and most probably it takes months (not days) before we are finally out from the circle.
You must either visit a doctor or if you have a friend or family member whom you feel you have a bond with, then just discuss with them about how much you have lost and maybe they can help you realize how much you are loosing not just money but time and resources.

It ain't a problem for me since I know when to stop.
I just bring the money which I like to gamble and after all of it is gone then I will just walk away. Maybe I will back next week or a couple of weeks.
If I win though then it will be a different story.
I could go way long into just playing the game specially poker.
My longest play is like 8 hours straight. Just changing seats if I get bored with my past table.

There are so many gamblers in this virtual world or even in the real life, there are some that can be considered as a compulsive gambler or those really addicted in gambling. That is the worst thing that you may acquire in gambling, in which that all the things that you are usually doing are now nothing, you are only focused on gambling, even your relationships on your friends and family are affected.
I want to help those people who really abused by the gambling, let me list down all possible solution that they may use to recover from being addicted in gambling.
1. Focus on your family or friends - if you have strong relationship with your family and friends then you will forget to play gambling, and they may help you to limit yourself from gambling.
2. List all things that were affected by gambling - if you can see all the things that were affected because of gambling then you may realize that it has no goods to give you, then I hope that it makes you think to stop gambling.
3. Read and Search about gambling addiction - if you can see all people that have been affected because of gambling then you may stop from being addicted on it, there are some people's life that already destroyed because of gambling.
4. Meet and visit experts or professionals about mental health - If you really want to limit yourself from gambling, but you can't then you may visit some experts and listen to their advise.

What about limiting your budget for gambling ?
The limited budget for gambling will not allow you to become addicted to gambling, because once you are out of your budget you will automatically quit it for the day or week, according to your plan. The less funds you allocate to gambling, the better you will remain safe from the risks of losing money.
It is another thing if you are already addicted into it. Professional help would really be a huge thing. Also, support and attention from your love ones. It won't be easy being on such condition because it is 'urge' that you would battle, meaning, you are depriving yourself from the satisfaction, gambling is giving to you.
Addiction is a disease and should be treated with serious caution.
Definitely. It is a serious problem among gamblers. Every party should contribute to support the way to recover the addicted gamblers. Not only their family but they also need helps from their close friends, experts, and neighborhood. If the addicted gamblers have been at a severe level, they must visit professionals or experts of mental health regularly. If the person is genuinely want to get away with this then I think everybody will support him/her as nobody would like their own person to get into gambling and spoil their own life. Only thing is that one should not be cheating that on one side show as if not into gambling anymore and on other side continue to gambling beacuse once this is known then no one will believe that person and no one will even care to help out to overcome from such addiction .
