So if you have a problem with gambling, such as addiction, gambling underage, or in my case both, please seek help. Do everything in your power to stop. It will improve your life drastically. So next time you think about gambling, instead of gambling, call an old friend and catch up, or go outside and go for a nice walk. Have a good one! 
Hey, we are actually on the same spot!
I remember back in 2011-2013 where DOTA 2 keys where still in circulation, I used to bet my 30 keys (valued around $60) daily on dota2lounge website where I would be able to double or triple my profit. This gave me a false sense of security where I thought I was going to win every game on the team that I betted on. Unfortunately, all of my keys lost in the process which lead me to use the credit card of my dad (I was age 15) to purchase more keys.
To cut the story short, I lost all of my keys in the process and I receive a scolding of my life from my dad. The tip that you mentioned here is the essence of combating addiction- go have a walk or talk to someone. It will change your perspective and pull you out from that abyss and loop of gambling!
