Having easy access to online casinos, knowing about how bad outcome might be, I keep gambling. Does anybody know how to avoid playing when you already facing this possibility? To overcome this moment of urge? Detailed advice be greatly appreciated.
Hi John
Firstly you need to want to stop
I don't mean just say it. But actually want it.
What does gambling give you?
A couple hour's of buzz if that maybe.
What it takes far out ways the buzz
Sleepless night's
The shame
Depression
A complete lack of self worth
Zero control
What would happen if you fought the urge?
Nothing would but you can fight the urges one at a time
Quitting gambling is easy
Staying stopped is a long hard battle. But with commitment and the right tools that work for you it's possible
Have you heard of blocking software that doesn't allow you on to the gambling sites?

Agree with you about commitment. Any tips on how to “can fight the urges one at a time”?
I always find keeping myself busy or listen to inspirational music
Get you through. There's a few videos on YouTube that can help you relax. Subliminal ones are great for calming you down
Keep your focus aim towards a goal. Reward yourself or a loved one when you hit a certain amount of day's
Thank you
