How does one Put down Gambling for good?

Focus yourself on other things. If your reason only to gambk8ng is that you want to earn or to have income you must focus on other things as well as find some stable jobs so that you don't need to put all of your money to gambling and you dont need to lose and lose again and again. Find yourself a stable and good job.

well that's right instead of thinking for an easy way to earn why not find a good job and use your time in a proper ways, like spending your time with your love ones or with your friends which can allow you to quit with your gambling activity.

Divert your attention to what really matters you and for most of us family is our main priority because we live for them also.
Having a problem is normal and regardless how big or small it is, the important thing is we have to accept and seek the help of the people who really cares for us, and also that problem like gambling addiction will never vanish if we will not change our interest in life, you need sacrifice to be able to quit.

There are people that have broken family ties due to gambling addiction - the best thing to do then is patch up those gap with family and loved ones and gain strength from them. Family support system is essential to overcome in some troubled times.

I agree though it would be hard to patch things up with them first before quitting since gambling is the reason why things needed patching up in the first place. You have to first let go of what made things bad for you and your family so its important to know which things you value more. Once you realize that gambling isn't as important as having your family's trust and love, then you use that as a motivation to quit. Then you can say to your family that you're ready to patch things up with them

It seems to me that the dependent gambler is already a drug addict. It is very difficult to understand such a person and fix his future destiny. Some people do not even have a family because their obsession with gambling is very strong.
