How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ?

[teilwalL05]

Try doing some training for yourself. For example, if a whole day passed and you didn't gamble even if you urge to, you get yourself a pizza or smth that you want. Like a little reward for your action. You can get other people involved with this reward, like your wife or some member of your family.

You can try doing punishment to yourself. This isn't a good punishment but this might get you to try to discipline yourself. Whenever you gamble, you wouldn't eat for 24hours. You can tell your wife to not give you food, lock the ref, etc. Once you get a little traumatized with this starvation thing, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to have this punishment again. Thus, pushing yourself to not gamble.  

Then you will end up dead of starvation by the time you realized that your cure of your addiction or maybe not!

I think punishment isn't really needed but although this is just way to extreme to do in my opinion because what you really need is some proper attention from a psychiatrist on what he/she think on your level of distress, and if you really need rehabilitation is his/her go signal!

you can simply stay away from gambling by searching for another habit. You are only gambling because you're
addicted to it just find another small habit its not that gambling is such a bad thing,
but you can lose allot of money with it so be careful.

if you ever get into the world of gambling then you will not be able to get out of it. gambling is to have an addiction, you will lose time and you will leave part of your family. gambling is risky.

Well, that was my point. Quit gambling or you'll die of hunger.

If you are really addicted to gambling then you need a self discipline and a motivation on why you should get out of that addiction. Maybe you can start little by little. Many of us here already mention some of the ways and i think you can corporate some of it. It may help you a lot.

Gambling addiction is hard to treat, its a mental or emotional disease when there is no medicinal cure. It always start with the addicted gamblers on his acceptance that he really is addicted. I must say one can be easily addicted with gambling if he has let his emotions control his decision making.

If you feel you can handle it just make sure to stay away from a pc/desktop or whatever you use to gamble. If you can control it make sure to find somethign else to do so you are too busy for gambling.

yes this might work if your really not addicted with gambling and sometimes it can not affect you a lot in doing this, because if you are really addicted this piece of advice is nothing because the will of an addicted in gambling is really something.

There are things more important than gambling, that we should always think. You just wasted time when you delegate that time. I agree avoid using PC but we can not say that either if it will work, there are possibilities that he can visit there again on gamble on site in case he need to use the PC again .

yup. sometime staying away from pc/desktop can be a very huge challenge especially your work/lifestyle/habit is evolved around using of pc. Usually, family support and friend support is the most important. of course, professional help can greatly help to improve the conditions. It will takes months to overcome.

hard to get away from the pc / desktop because it has become their daily lives. trying to spend all the capital, and when it is possible that you will stop gambling.

[lorylore]

as many have said, nowadays it is quite hard to stay away from computer cause most of our lives rely on computers too much. So we should look for another way instead of just avoid it.

Today pc or laptop are very important. at least in our lives. It will not suddenly happen that we just go out and forget about it. I would recommend to start creating an aversion against gambling and so you perhaps will hate it.

As they say prevention is better that cure, if one is already addicted to gambling that is really hard to cure, it requires acceptance from a a gambling addict itself in order to cure the disease. Also, my observation are most of the gambling addicts does not have a good relationship with their family, maybe they just consider gambling as way to entertain themselves so much that is why it already become part of their life which they cannot let go of it anymore.

That is the best suggestion. You cannot think of gambling anymore if you make yourself very busy. Well, it is still depend on your will if you will stop gambling.

If he/she already addicted to gambling it's hard to do that. Even for a while you forget about gambling, the problem is when you are alone or have a free time. I'm pretty sure he/she will still think and soon will play. It drive them nuts if they can't play, making a way or other reasons just to play.
