follow religion, learn the way of balance in life. no need to actually become a follower, just learn good lessons from religions, they are pretty handy.

Lol i think religion allow to gamble, whether pastors still gambling?
I often saw him playing dice, there is no relationship between religion and gambling seems

I mean the knowledge from religion, life lessons they teach, the way of balance, how to self-control,... from religions, not just Christian

There are support groups for addictive personalities that might help.  The main thing is to keep remembering that you have a problem....Keep talking about it in forums such as this and acknowledge the fact that it is a problem for you.  Habits take time to change so keep telling yourself that it is a problem on a daily bases.  Over time you will begin to feel more comfortable avoiding the habit that's causing you problems.  You've taken the first step already....don't give up on yourself.

I have found that regular meditation and yoga helps take the edge of more compulsive/obsessive acts like gambling
I still gamble but definitely feel more mindful and in control of the situation

I'm not aware of yoga or any kind of meditation will help to cure the addiction of gambling. But simply deviating our concentrations and focus to some other entertaining things will make us to stay away from gambling. I heard Yoga will provide us the peace of mind. It may help to stay away from gambling also.

That is probably the best advice on here to stay away from playing the house gambling. That and a post a few up that says do some basic mind numbing math over and over to wake you up to playing against a negative house edge.

Strange but that and meditation are very similar and will give you a good chance of getting away from thoughtless gambling. It is not about stopping but gaining control. Me the easiest thing I do to stop me wanting to gamble is think what that money can do for my child, it is near impossible to gamble then lol

For someone without that, the above advice and something physical will help out for sure.

When you need help just go out and make sure you are not thinking about gambling. Keep your attention focused on 1 thing.
F.e. your job or even better finding the love of your life

How to stay away from gambling? Its simple, you always bet small amounts and do not think to get earn big and fast.

You could join a gambling addiction support group in real life. They can help you stop gambling.
Or you could set a small amount of money to gamble, and don't touch the rest.

Mediation could work too can you might be able to regain control when you gamble.

Your best option would be not to keep any BTC, without BTC you can't gamble. However that's not really a solution.

Your other option can be to seek Gamblers Anonymous where there is a 12 Step program and they connect you with a sponsor.

One happy solution is to be addicted in restricted drugs, you will stay far away from gambling, since you do not have control of your own body

Get a hobby! Find something to do in your life that will preoccupy your mind, so that it will take up all your thoughts and get rid of the urge to gamble! I have weekly basketball games with friends and routinely play video games as a hobby and I don't gamble as much as before.

I think it's great. At least op recognises he has a problem, willingness to admit is the first step to solve it.

[BTTrader]

find some other hobby that peaks your interest. if you like the competition, get in to something competitive. Chess, sports, video games. Something just to get your mind away from betting. Good luck man.

getting addicted to gambling is suck,that worst experience,and i think you cant stop playing gambling if you still have internet conection,i mean gambling online,have you try to quit from internet for a week or a month?

[Noax]

is it btc gambling or real life?
In my country you can ban yourself from casino and online gambling site, so you don't have a chance of gambling anymore.

[BTTrader]

that would have been my other suggestion, but I'm assuming its BTC also.

Replace gambling with something positive.

Find a replacement activity or hobby. Whether it’s jogging, rock climbing, or fly fishing, find something to take the place of gambling.
