The only thing that I can think of is by just go out and looking for a other hobby that is going to help you for sure if you manage to find the right one for you.
If that does not help then you will have to get some help from a professional.
I guess that is the primary concern that OP is facing right now. It is very easy to say that you have to go out and find another hobby but the problem there is how he is going do to it because in reality it really isn't that easy.
His facing some problem with gambling as the OP said but if he wants really to quit gambling for good then he shouldn't in gambling anymore find some hobby that he can do or repair their house plant some vegetable at your back of the house then chilx.
But the thing there is how possible it is. Especially if OP is being hook up by gambling too much as advice i think if the problem is really fatal OP should take first a good advice from the professionals
In that matter when the addiction is really serious, it is better to be bankrupt so he can realize that what he is doing is not right.
you are right, because you would be just losing money over and over again in my opinion if you are addicted
Sometimes we need to think to consider the person who are involved for being an addicted gambler. Maybe they have problems or the reality that being gambler and its addiction is their problem. I think they just need proper counselling and some advice that is going to enlighten them so that they are going to help themselves to totally quit gambling.
I agree that counselling some experts and taking advice from them is good. But more importantly, if he is really interested to stop gambling means he should control his emotions. When he start to control himself then he can follow experts advice otherwise, it is not at all possible. And talk with your family members and take help from them. They will help you to come out from this gambling.
