I am sure that people choosing to play online because online has no fees the only fees you are going to pay is when you are going to withdraw your money and people are taking it so serious when it come to gambling because they think that they can gain more profit than their salary everymonth. people who addicted on playing are can't get away from gambling.

To stay away from gambling, you should have a conviction that you will really not do gambling anymore. You should involve yourself in beneficial activities to take away your mind from gambling. Maybe you have a sport that you really like then convert your attention to that and focus in to it because maybe when you're lucky then you can join some competitions. Spend time with your loved ones because surely you lost a lot of time when you are still addicted to gambling so make the most of it. If possible, let someone handle your funds so that when you have an urge to gamble again, you cannot do so because you cannot freely access your funds.

Double your time in working would give you a good benefits rather than in gambling, with working there are no risk involve and one thing will only happen which is you will be rewarded by your hard work, if you have to take some break for your leisure time, never do gamble anymore.

I think if we are addicted and start watching movies or playing games like Clash of clans or pokemon then we can easily divert our mind.
Free time and flexible nature is the root of gambling and I personally have started to play more and more games in my free time and trust me it honestly helped me reduce my addiction or say habit of gambling.

gambling sometimes do not require much time, so when you do not have any activity as long as you can connect to a computer and internet, you can potentially play gambling. so might be a good suggestion if you can try to never turn on the computer or unplugging your home Internet service, if the goal was really to get away from gambling.

Depends on the reason..Some gamblers are not enjoying gambling, they are there to earn so enjoyable things are not their thing, they are into something that could make them earn money..So instead of doing enjoyable things, I think those guys need a job, a day job that would make them busy and a boss that they cannot just defy...   

i think if we don't want to gamble , we need to find new activity in our free time until our mind stop thinking about gambling, and then we can fill our free time by joining social club and go to church more often, but the most important thing is determination to stop

Focusing in sports or spending more time with your job will help your stay away in gambling, you should not wait that you lose more money in gambling before you quit it if it will only give you a problem. When you are focus on both aforementioned, you will receive great benefits, focusing in your job will result to higher income or promotion and doing sports will give you good health.

You need to go out and find another hobby because that is going to keep your head away from gambling,
But your new hobby has to fun if you not your are just going to go back to gambling slowly but surely.
