I have a suggestion for people to avoid gambling:
You should go to out of station for a few days and then enjoy the natural beauty, get into friends and circle and such, you will yourself slowly loose interest in gambling.
nice advice but unfortunately that won't work to some ,including me, that have a circle of gambler friends

seriously , i once went a vacation on a province with some of my friends to relax but still i can't help myself gambling cuz one of my friends brought a deck of cards with him. we played but it was all for entertainment cuz there is no internet connection on the place. we enjoyed even though i lose some of my pocket money.
Yes same experience here mate.
Even no internet connection, there are lots of way to survive the call of gambling. In every outing or out of town we did with my friends, we always played the famous local game here called "pusoy" or Chineses poker.
Just for entertainment purposes but still lots of money is taken out from all pockets.
Gambling is not always online. There are lots of way. To be able to stay away from it, you are the solution to execute properly those recommended suggestion from our forum mate.
