I think you have to do other fun things besides gambling. you can spend time with friends or family because I believe it would be more fun than gambling. you can also use other ways to earn money other than gambling, for example such as trading and mining bitcoin
I do believe that day job could solve gambling addiction aside from using most of your time with your family. When you have a job, your way of thinking is different compared when you are just sitting in front of your computer or have nothing to dedicate your efforts to. the busier your mind is, the smaller the chance that you have time to think about gambling.
That is correct. When you have something very important thing to do, then you will not be tempted to gamble. The more free time you have and spend it gambling to casinos, the more chances you get hooked and the chance of losing. The less time opportunity you have gambling, the less you will get hooked to it. Well, each person has its different characteristics and tendencies to becoming hooked to certain things. Know yourself and protect it from getting hooked and lose big in gambling.
