I think this is an interesting article and I can relate completely to your story. I believe there are so many other people like you in this Forum and for the research that shows that gamblers gamble responsibly is very true, there are just a few people who are unable to do this because they have allowed emotion control them while playing the game and have lost self-control.

Nevertheless, your under listed strategies might not work for everyone, the only solution to some addictions is Exit, either temporal or permanent exit.

There was a time I found out I was gradually getting addicted to a casino as a result of  the much time I spent playing, tried some of his methods you mentioned to help me but I always played more, what I did was to exit completely for a period of time, over 1 year, by the time I got back, it became easier to play without addiction.
