The best option is to find some other things. Just do what you like that is the best option. Find a hobby or something.
Everything is much cheaper than gambling. With gambling you only lose some money and that is not good.

Yep yep. You got me on my very same thoughts. Preoccupy yourself with other things. There is no other way to do it. If you can keep your mind off of gambling, then gambling wont get into you.

If you really are a hard core gambler, months may not be enough, maybe years and that is even with professional support. It is really hard to get away from addiction, but it is not impossible.

Yes i agree with you, it's really hard to stay away from gambling if you are really a gambling addict. For stay away for gambling you need promise to yourself to stop gambling.

Some people are saying its difficult but I do not think its difficult to stop gambling and stay away from it, my opinion is that you can stop whenever you want you only need to realize that you are addicted and that it can go no further anymore if you understand that by yourself you can just quit gambling.

Another tip is just speaking about it with a relative(family & friends) to stop and stay away from it forever.

It is very difficult to stop your gambling addiction especially if you are already addicted to it because an addicted gambler can never stop the gambling addiction overnight. Sure, you can stop gambling for a day or two but sooner or later you will find yourself in the casino again. But I didn't say it can't be done.

Gambling is like a sickness, some people are able to save but some people will fall in a black hole and never get out it again, the people that are falling in that black hole need professional help.

These people first should speak with their relatives about it and than maybe they could help the one with searching for a professional or something.

Much better if the relatives are the one who needs to step first because gamblers mind is now totally blocked to other suggestions.

It's not always who has a problem will seek some help like the person drowns in the sea. Sometimes we need to step up to help that person involved automatically.

Easier said than done. And it cannot be treated overnight. It needs a lot of self restrain and help / intervention from friends and relatives. Addiction is addiction. You cannot just say I'm done and it's over. There is still that craving that will pull you back.

I don't see a relaxing excursion or vacation or trip as good advice for one to move away the old gambling. As the probability of returning back from the way their gambling after the trip ends have a chance. The solution to keep it off in gambling really should include all the desirable and interesting that gaves people gambling so I see it really makes sense if that gamblers will find another source of money is really worth the money without risking such a stable job with a decent payout. After all who can control is the person itself.

Well I considered getting a good relaxation like vacation or outing is a good advice although it's not an assurance but really can considered a "one step" from staying away.

One of the result that might lead here is, if a person enjoy that trip, it will asked again an another trip to the point that this kind of activity become monthly basis. Because this is now a regular habit, they will force to save money to make another trip.

Well just a possible scenario.

Indeed this can be referred to as scenarios, but this scenario could also fail if, do not be melupaka gambling. Because the main point/key in this issue is the recollection in gambling. If they do this but in their minds there is still gambling, surely they can't eliminate its activities.

Yes it's a must. to a gambler who has severe addiction should seek help psychiatrist. perhaps if it had been severe addiction till lost everything, like houses, cars and more. will result in severe and become crazy.

Yeah of course that's why I called it as a possible scenario.

Still it has chances to happen the same as chances of getting it as a fail one.

Well just look into bright side and expect some good output out of that pointed advice.
