asking somebody to be your guardian angel somehow and help you to stop could work but you need someone with a lot of availability, may be harder to find.

Just to share, I barely gamble now unlike before ehich was almost 18 hours per day.
I gamble less now because I am spending most of the time watching gambling streams from best gambling streamers on Twitch since few months ago. If you gamble to entertain yourself, you can also find entertainment on watching these streamers and avoid losing money just to be entertained.

Wow you played 18 hours per day before, that's a long time I guess, but I've never been that long in gambling but now you've changed that pattern.
Watching streaming gambling also actually entertains me. Previously, I watched this for hours but in the end I became curious and played again, maybe because it was not controlled so that curiosity continued to exist.

there's something about dopamine addiction/neurotransmitters that makes it really hard to stop playing/gambling for some people
in some situations it starts a domino effect, a cascade that is really hard to get rid of.

When that type of substance is secreted, dopamine is very possible for the person to feel invincible, normally dopamine sometimes causes it to be activated in people who go to nightclubs a lot, but of course it is because of the prohibited substances that they consume, no I had seen or known the effect that it causes in gambling, I honestly believe that it is something very dangerous.

dopamine is related to the reward systems of the body
it's secreted from several activities that provide a reward, healthy ones like sex and exercise and unhealthy ones like gambling
not all drugs will stimulate dopamine secretion

and social media is probably more addictive and dangerous for brain balance than night clubs and alcohol... something to think about

Also, smartphones are very addictive and dangerous. Smartphones and social media together are mostly responsible for the declining intellectual capabilities of humans...and eventually the demise of the human race.
