How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ?

[PizzaBTC]

There are a lot of things that we can do other than gambling unless you really cannot discipline yourself. You can even open a business in this way you will really loose your self from doing this habit or you can apply for a job when get hired you dont have time anymore to do this stuff for you will be very busy or travel abroad.

Yes self control and self discipline are the key to stay away from gambling. I believe, with self discipline itself we can recover ourselves even from gambling addictions also.

the best way is ourselves and not what anybody else says. You must be able to control yourself and think, whether gambling profitable for you?. If you feel always a loss, you need to get away from gambling and never come back.

Don't keep too much fait money on you and if you have to, spread your bitcoin among many addresses. If you absolutely have to gamble keep one wallet just for gambling and nothing else. If you really having problems you can always block the gambling sites. But you yourself are the best measure in preventing yourself from gambling.

That's the problem there, hanging out with friends are not exciting all the time, while hanging with them you also need to spend an amount just to enjoy, in the mind of the gamblers they are not getting any benefits from that. So they do things that while enjoying they also have a chance to gain money. That is reality but if anyone really wants to stay away from gambling you need to resist the temptation gambling brings to you.

Decide firmly that you will not gamble and then block the gambling sites. Try spending more time with family and friends. Use less internet and try to keep yourself busy with other thing like some new hobby or keeping yourself busy with work. Leaving anything's addiction is possible if you firmly decide to do so.

But if he can block the gambling sites then he can again unblock them whenever he need it if he is addictive, the best solution is that he should not have to sit idle as idleness is the devil which make us to start any bad job.

+1. Our nature is to find another way if we are prohibited to do something we really do want to do. In this example, gambling. Even if you block the gambling websites that you used to play on, you will eventually unblock it especially if you get the urge to gamble. You were the one who blocked it, of course you can unblock it.

And even if you weren't the one who blocked it (i.e. you don't know how to block a site), it's either you will search for a new gambling site to bet on or you will search on Google how to unblock a website.


Get yourself really really busy so that you will not get the urge to gamble. If your mind is so busy doing other things and you don't have time to gamble, it will at least lessen the chance that you gamble even if you get the urge to. At the end of a long busy day, you will be too tired to gamble.

I suggest that you try to focus and be busy on things that doesn't include money like joining a group that does synchronize activities, do exercise, get more focused on your job/career, find a new hobby, and/or study something that you were always curious with.

Although that is a key thing to note when one is gambling, this thread is about staying away from gambling. With this in mind, the gambler's fallacy has nil to do with avoiding the confrontation of addiction. I will say that hobbies and social contact are key in avoiding the urge of gambling. It should be also noted that limiting access of gambling will also help. For example, we are in a bitcoin-based forum, but bitcoins are obtained with relative ease and you may gamble in a variety of areas. That sort of access could open up opportunities for gambling. Which is a problem.

Find another hobby. Understand that winning in gambling is harder than loosing is. Understand that gambling could make you win as much as you want in minutes, and loose everything you have in a few seconds. It's bad, even though I'm addicted too. I have lost everything I had in my Bitcoin wallet, now I'm gambling just faucets which got me 0.1BTC profit back. Go out with your friends, play sports, just anything. Except GAMBLING.

That's a good advice but the problem is, what if you'll get alone and bored?? Your friends are busy and can't join you going out. Without motivation and self discipline on the addicted gambler, he/she will surely still has the urge to visit the site or casinos. Maybe just slowly and little by little stay out of it.

Some people are too strongly genetically affected to gambling input and they will not be able to get over it unless they get professional help and get some medication treatment that will lower this strong genetic component from them, then slowly you stop gambling less and less until you reach a point is not a treat anymore. If anything else works, then you didn't had a serious gambling problem to begin with.

Using the internet less nowadays is not possible as now everything is on internet even the businesses are also shifted to internet, the best solution is that he should have to start some other method to earn money and have to play some other free games to entertained.

Staying away from gambling can be done easy in my eyes by finding other things you can do in you spare time.
If you find another hobby you will stay away from it for sure.
