Hi Anderson Vibes,
That is a good idea that you mention, to use a hobby to divert you from gambling.
Our forum members sometimes use the idea of 'ATM' (Access, Time, Money), to consider how to reduce their risk of gambling. For an example, registering with MOSES to reduce the risk of visiting a bookies, spending time at the gym instead of at the bookies, only carrying small amounts of cash to reduce risk of spending at the bookies.
