it's a popular therapy, it appears so many times on movies, tv shows, books. it must be effective to become that popular. i thought it's weird at first but i have changed my mind.

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?

Yeah finding another hobby is a great start.
But be disciplined too. Just don't get tempted by going to gambling sites etc. It's better to stay strong and focus solely on your new hoby.

Yes you are right. It you just go away and don't seek real help you will fall into your old habit.
The best think to conquer this is with help and a strong discipline.

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

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.

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