The best think you can do it's to go to a psychologist and tell about your problem. I don't think we can help you.
My advice will be: don't gamble.
But i think that won't work :p

Good luck and don't give up due to gambling!

A tough spot to be in and not quite sure what to advise as it's not something that I have been victim of yet.
Replacement I think is key, smoking is an addiction and I have quit a few times so obviously my method hasn't really worked but it did for the time I stopped, try to replace your gambling with something else, perhaps learn a language or replace it with a workout or something along those lines.

It is good that you are able to recognise the potential problem before it fully grips you that is a good start!  I wish you luck and hope that others will have some better advice then me to help you out.

Well it depends on how much you can control yourself.I am in same situation as yours and last week i made some caculations about my gambling stats and i was in net loss of more than half bitcoin and so i decided to spend bitcoins everytime i earn them .You can do the same or can put it up in investments (NOT HYIP's)

[Halfender]

Thanks for the advice. I will try to occupy myself with other stuff so that i could keep the gambling thoughts out.

The best way to quit gambling is sometimes, to lose a lot of money. If you lose a lot of money, you may experience for yourself what being a total idiot is, and you will may learn the lesson the harsh way but never gamble again, or gamble in very small amounts so it never constitutes a real risk and you are never facing money problems. I think we don't need to reach that point, but some people only learn the hard way.

it really isn't that hard to still enjoy gambling and not lose all your life over it because you got addicted to gambling!

you just have to set some rules for yourself and stick to those rules, for example force yourself yo only gamble with maximum of 0.5BTC each week. if you won, then good, withdraw and enjoy and if you lost stop and walk away.

There are actual support groups who can help. Gambling is an addiction and as such, should also be taken seriously like narcotics addiction and alcohol.

I was once addicted to gambling.I was so much into gambling that I started dreaming of casinos in my food,casinos were all over my house.This scared me,I started getting anxious.I tried witchcraft ,flew down to the darkest Jungles of Africa to find best witches but couldn't get rid of them Casinos. Finally it hit me one day that I should use a simple life hack and make a thread on bitcointalk about it.I did.Guess what ? My addiction went away in less than an hour .The sad part was I lost my intelligence too.

How about selling/givingaway my primedice Account? Will it make a difference?

Start to contribute to some activities where you feel more fun and where you earn better, and try to join some game sites where you know well how to play there.

but he did not actually do it he gambled a few days later. I have not heard a powerful way to quit gambling.

Forget all your loses on gambling, because it's really affect you and if you remember it, it will make you hard to forget about gambling. And find a hobby that can replace your time on gambling.

Base on your seconds comment, I have to say, occupying yourself with something else, won't do the trick permanently and as soon as your unoccupied, you'll see yourself back in it. Taking Psychotherapy sessions would surely solve it permanently (speaking from a real life experience when I was young and didn't know how to stop it). It took me around two to three months of constant sessions to learn how to react when I'm at one of those scenarios again. I know it's going to be a paid solution, but it will be worth every bit of it.

You need to distance yourself from any situation where you would be triggered to gamble. Most people get addicted to the adrenaline rush or it fills a gap {eg. Boredom } You

will have to isolate the triggers and avoid them and also search for the answers to why you want to gamble and try to fill that gap with something more positive and

constructive. Let's say it is boredom... then you can rather start a new hobby or learn a new trade. If you want more help, visit this site :

This section is the best advice on that site. { For the people, who are too lazy to go through the whole thing }

" Self-help for gambling addiction and problem gambling

The biggest step to overcoming a gambling addiction is realizing that you have a problem. It takes tremendous strength and courage to own up to this, especially if you have lost a lot of money and strained or broken relationships along the way. But many others have been in your shoes and have been able to break the habit. You can to.

    Seek help for underlying mood disorders. Depression, stress, substance abuse, or anxiety can both trigger gambling problems and be made worse by compulsive gambling. Even when gambling is no longer a part of your life, these problems will still remain, so it’s important to address them.
    Learn to relieve unpleasant feelings in healthier ways. Do you gamble when you’re lonely or bored? Or after a stressful day at work or school? Gambling may be a way to self-soothe unpleasant emotions. But there are healthier and more effective ways of managing your moods, such as practicing relaxation techniques.
    Strengthen your support network. It’s tough to battle any addiction without support, so reach out to friends and family. If your support network is limited, there are ways to  make new friends without relying on visiting casinos or gambling online. Try reaching out to colleagues at work, joining a sports team or book club, enrolling in an education class, or volunteering for a good cause.
    Join a support group. Gamblers Anonymous, for example, is a twelve-step recovery program patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous. A key part of the program is finding a sponsor, a former gambler who has experience remaining free from addiction and can provide invaluable guidance and support. "

After I lost around 50 btc, I felt so bad and starting to do something different. Resuming my normal routine, BUT my mind always call me into play dice game and lost even more. I was gloomy and sad. Time will help you eventually. Start to talk to others and have some nice conversation.

Halfender, I decided to code and create monodice.com to fulfill my own addiction and satisfaction on dice gambling. It is playable for free since 2014. I tried to make it real and responsive as possible. I hope I can help you and others more who want to quit. Please share and spread the word. I really hope it help you as it helped me in every way.

Sincere,

If you are serious your best kick at this is to get more involved in life and sometimes another addiction with less effect can help get you off the gambling kick. Something that you really enjoy,seek that out for at least 30 days and see if that helps the urge to gamble go away. 30 days is just a goal,its long been disproven for kicking a habit but you achieve it and it gets easier to break from the gambling. Remember not to beat yourself up when you relapse,it will take some time and you will find what triggers you to gamble.

I did not know it was successful or not but should be tried
from now on you should reduce the amount of money while gambling do continuously so you find a normal point when gambling
Another way you should target money while gambling may only spend $ 50 each month according to the ability of your finances
