You should keep your BTC in Coinbase or Xapo vault with a withdrawal delay, that way you won't be able to gamble.

if you're a gambler addicts. you Will still want to play, even if your money on hold. you would have to borrow money

Seriously? I wouldn't do that. A 48 hour delay is just too great for me

your addiction level is not as high as him. it's hard for you to imagine problem of other people at higher stage than you that you haven't been before, but it's a common problem out there, it's exists.

Just think of how much you lost, then when you do get bitcoins put it in a bitcoin physical wallet and just don't use it, getting over gambling is tuff, but when you are down then better to just stop. If you can't stop there may be group services near you that can help you.

It might work for some, but for an addicted gambler the one that is loaning money for gambling it is very difficult for him because addiction through gambling has an urge in playing it than making any profit, because in his mind he might win big with it.

That is 100% true, I guess the gambler has to understand the loss and want to quit in order to stop.

I can see why online gambling is illegal in many countries, it can really destroy a person, I was quite addicted and lost ALOT of bitcoins, but I quit and I  just keep all my bitcoins in my xapo wallet, once I have enough I will print a physical wallet and wont touch it.

 

That is a right way in keeping your money and in gambling yes in other countries they had ban gambling for good but in some they are embracing it because of so much income they get with it.

It is just the same whether it has a delay on their withdrawal or not. After some confirmation your deposit will be on your gambling wallet so you will gambling again and this will keep you stay away from coinbase or xapo because of slower. This is not a really good to stay away from gambling but tell us to stay away using both of them

Exactly! That's why there should be another way apart from not having access to your money.

I suggest to sit and think about what you like to do the most. If it is gambling then you should go to a doctor, but if it's something else like reading books or meeting with your friends then you might try spending your money on books or on your friends rather than on gambling.

I heard somewhere that addiction comes from a lack of familial and friendly support. I guess one option is to associate yourself more with friends and family, to see if that can distract you from your habit of gambling. Hobbies, as previously suggested, can also divert your attention from gambling. You should focus on the entertainment value of gambling if you choose to continue, rather than the possibility of profiting. Perhaps that will set a threshold for stopping?

Yes very correct, if you get to talk more with family and friends and try to spend some spare time with friends rather than family then you will find it very easy to leave gambling. In fact spend that gambling money to watch some movie for 3 hours.

Gambling is an addiction like any other else, I would suggest to be practical, is to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist.

Actually this is not a bad idea at all. Gambling if you may is basically a presenting problem of a much bigger problem you got. Once you were able to deal with it, gambling will be much easier to take on.

Addiction is a self-defense mechanism (remember this into my General Psychology class in college.) to escape a problem either financially, socially etc., the more you do it is, the bigger the problem is. And a life-coach isn't enough to get you over from addiction since you are now mentally ill.

giving up an addiction depends on the level of the addiction. for some people they can just stop it if it is in its early stages and not so serious , for others doing some activity like going out and doing a hobby will help and for the serious problems they should seek professional help or some sort of counseling

Well giving up an addiction is hard, but remember first people have to accept that they have  a problem.
Then they need to get either help or be hard for them self. Stop it 100% by being disciplined.

Or even better find some opposite thing to fight against their addiction.
Reverse psychology is very effective.

well everyone likes compter games, maybe you like them too, so buy a game or two and play it, or if you don't like them, read a book, or go to gym, other hobby will help you

that's right..there should be a diversion, a hobby is a good diversion.you could use your energy and focus in it, but I think, cleaning the whole house if you have nothing to do is a very good way...

Well if you are younger yo can try to go with computer games. But adults will most likely go for something else.
Maybe reading books or going into sports

I usually stay away from gambling by mining and keeping other online projects going so that I don't think anything much of gambling. I spend anything on gambling as rarely

as possible. If I start to lose, I cash out and say screw it all. I sometimes invest a little and if I see some loss, out it comes.

Actually betting small and that also to relieve stress is not a bad idea at all. You should always do that, because then you cant call yourself addicted to gambling and once simple method that works to stay away for those who are addicted is - start spending time with friens and family.
