1.) Get a healthier addiction. (i.e. sex, working out, reading, mountain biking, chocolate, whatever)
2.) Give control of your finances to better half (if applicable)
3.) Cut DSL cable running into your modem and do not replace.

Any of the above should work I'm guessing Smiley

Things to occupy your time like a job, girlfriend, pet, sports, or anything else like that will help. There's also hotlines for gambling addicts and yes it is a real condition that most people need real professional help for. So if it's bad then get help sooner than later.

But really theres actually way on how to avoid gambling like disperse or throw away things that can trigger you to gambling, have a vacation and chill for a short while it can also the best way to stay out with gambling and lastly dont give a blink looking at the gambling site and discipline yourself so you will not get hook again on gambling sites, but its really hard to throw gambling in your mind if you made it a habbit but if theres really a will to stop well it cannot be possible.

Online gambling is not only with bitcoin, there are so many fiat online gambling. If someone have nothing left in his bitcoin wallet but he still have some cash on his bank account, so he can simply play on fiat gambling.
But once you can control yourself no matter you have money or not, so you can stay away. The only key to stay away is "yourself", nothing else.

Well, there's something called self control. You must have it.

Don't scratch your ass until you blood, think of the losses and hold the money to yourself and stay away from gamblings.

By gambling and losing what you can't afford to lose, you're creating more problems in your life.

Discipline in gambling is really hard to achieve if you don't practice it in your life already, the lack of self control is the main reason why we lost  and in gambling and since it is very risky to play in gambling with your money at risk without self control you will lose a lot of money and eventually turn bankrupt in the end.

I've been an addict. And some time I have tried to stop. It's not easy. I have read many articles of self help, saw several videos on youtube and always trying to kick the habit. More recently I read a book "the power of habit" and that helped overcome my addiction. Today when I want to play, I separate some bitcoins for it. If you lose not continue. I'll do something else. Currently I do Yoga and meditation.
But once you understand your addiction to gambling, you will get easy method to come out of it.
Many gamblers never understand about their gambling addiction, that situation is the big dangerous of gambling because they do not aware the reason and necessary to stay away from gambling.

Even if you understand you're addicted to gambling there will be nothing easy about beating the addiction as its an illness! It is a terrible addiction and many never get over it even though they know all to well they are addicted.

To the original poster, I had to deal with a boarder line poker addiction many years ago and another addiction and my way to deal with it was simple things that broke the habbits, walking, eating at set times, reading, working and working out in the gym. Once the habbits have changed the thougt of gambling etc was non existent.

In short occupy your mind with structure and doing things different to how they was being done while gambling.

Not managing signature campaigns anymore.

My advice stay away from gambling is looking for a job from the real world


So do you think that gambler are jobless? If they are jobless so how they have some money to gamble? You are completely wrong if you think like that..
Most gamblers has their own job in real world already except those who are rely only on gambling for their main income.

But when you are engaged with your full-time job, then definitely you will not find spare time to play gambling. When you are not regularly into gambling, then more chances for completely forgetting about it. Unless you're addicted to gambling, I believe no one will keep on coming among their hectic schedules.
That is the reason many people here suggesting to get engaged with your other activities to stay away from gambling. Because when you are having fruitful activities or earning a comfortable living from your job then definitely you can stay away from gambling easily.

It is not easy to stay away from the game when you're an addict. There are many people who think it's easy. But you have to keep trying. See more help videos for addicts , read some posts self help. A very good book for those who like to read is "The Power of Habit".

In the summer is easy actually, you just book a nice vacation if you have a normal salary if you are from USA or EU country and go to some cheap place like Thailand and keep your mind away from gambling. I would give this a try if I am too addicted to gambling, a person should try anything just to get itself off gambling.

Yes and there are also hotlines to talk to previous addicts and people who can get you in the right path to help. It's summer so you can go walk around every time you feel like gambling to keep your mind off of it. Plus that will make you healthier Smiley

The control is the common problem of the gamblers here, because of the love of money or should I say greediness they want to gamble even 24/7 letting their bot operate the betting, the end result always a lost. If you win then you still go back because you want for more.

Yeah, gambling is extremely addictive but on the other hand, really fun as well. Gambling is completely voluntary, and shouldn't be blamed upon the houses and the casinos for the addiction.

If you have the willpower to stop gambling, then you can. But if you don't it's like a drug, you just can't get rid of it.

Gambling is worse than drugs because if you are addicted to it you will literally become bankrupt. In drugs you only use a small amount of money to enjoy your addicted but in gambling you can even bet millions if you are not thinking straight.

You cannot under estimate the will powerbof a human being. But even a strong willed person will have a hard time quitting gambling once he is addicted to it. It is hard to fight a habit. It will always find ots way to go back to your system. So, it is better to seek professional help of you want to get rid of gambling problems.

Drugs is better than gambling, are you sure? When you get addicted to drugs you can bankrupt as well because you will always need to buy it and it is not cheap, and dont forget that you are risking your life because you may die because of drugs.
So I have to disagree that drugs is better than gambling.

what? :O how did you even come up with that?
drug addiction or substance abuse in general leads to much more problems which are also bigger problems. it also will lead to physical in addition to mental problems when you are using these substances.

gambling in comparison is nothing! you are just having a control issue even if you are a gambling addict. something that is easily fixable.

The thing is professional help isn't an answer in most cases. How many people did really stop gambling after so called "professional help "? I don't know any. Maybe I'm wrong, I'd like to see an evidence that I'm wrong here.

Think how much you can lose gambling. There are many nice things you can do with your money, and you are losing everything with gambling, think about it. Buy something that will entertain you, so you won't have reasons to think about gambling again.
Yes, when you have a budget for your luxurious (possibly) life, then you could not find some extra money to gamble. I believe this will prevent you to go gambling again and again.  This way we can stay away from gambling with a proper financial management.
But when a gambler are run out of money, most of them are going for loans for gambling bankroll. In the situation of they have tight finance problems, many gamblers are going in wrong way like selling their properties or getting loan to continue their gambling. These are some examples of consequences of gambling additions.
