I will just answer on how to stop the impulse to stop gambling, the truth is you cannot get over it on your own, you need an experts guidance and assistance to overcome the impulse, it's actually a serious disorder that should be treated right away before it totally ruin your lives.
Don't listen to the people who tell you that you can cure yourself. No man is truly an island, no matter if you have a big mental resistance. You will mainly need three things, two are a must and one if you need it.
The first two are pretty simple yet really powerful, you need a change of environment both online and especially offline and you need to get together with people who don't pay attention to gambling at all so you do other things with them and distract yourself, it is surprisingly effective.
The third one is going to therapy, this is if you feel like you need more advice.
Those three together can really change your life. Also as a bonus hire an accountant/financial adviser and meet with him/her often and talk about your problem and that you want to quit. So if you ever slip you will feel shame and that will impulse you in the right direction, having careful to not do it again. That bonus one is optional.
Very true, as a former drug addict and a gambling addict now I can say its true.
Having people around you to support you and be here for you in the tough times is highly helpfully and recommended too.
OP you diagnosis pretty well your addiction. Next step is to start willing toove on. Searching for winning strategies isn't willing to change. Because 1 it doesn't exist in the long run, 2 doing this you convince yourself that the concern is a matter of strategy not of behavior...
To get rid of an addiction isn't an easy thing, moreover as gambling as the most powerful addictive substance that is Hope...
But on the other hand with gambling nothimg physiological like for drugs and alcohol.
I was about to say Good Luck to move on but I keep that word and I just wish you to to succeed in your fight against addiction
