There's a story that my mom told me, it's about my uncle who once became a gambling addict that there comes a time where he sold most of their things in their house just to find money to gamble. The worst thing that my uncle did is to pledge their house just to satisfy his gambling pleasures.

I know it's not easy to overcome this situation especially when you're already in your point that you want to get back everything that you have lost. You keep on gambling thinking you can earn everything back. Actually, we're already lucky enough if we continuously win the game but even our luck has its own limitations. Without noticing it, our wins are slowly turning into losses.

I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do. There's no easy way if you really got attached to gambling. But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?

Gambling addiction is really hard to overcome because i once experienced getting addicted in gambling and it takes me months to recover myself from my gambling addiction by putting all of my attention in different things like going to the gym, playing sports, computer games, and bonding with your family or friends. I kinda agree that it's easy to say but harder to do, but i got stay away from gambling with the help of my family that they always watch me, so i could really control myself in gambling.

Basically, if a person cannot overcome their addiction there is a struggles behind his issues on extreme gambling activities. Because of frequent bettings, it made him more eager to win and recover the lost money. Making an adjustment towards the diversions that we wanted to like other activities, isn't an assurance if you're not get used to it.
That should be done ambiguously and patiently in order to come a successful outcome in the future, and even quit gambling for life.
