- Keeping myself busy and focusing on work. 

Keeping yourself busy is one of the best ways for an addict to distract themselves from gambling. They can find a hobby that they enjoy, or do work, or do other activities that keep their attention away from gambling. Because the problem that gamblers often face is that the urge to gamble arises when they are not doing anything - although this is quite difficult to do because not everyone has the same ability to restrain themselves, but if this is practiced continuously then over time an addict will be able to control their addiction to gambling.
To stop yourself from gambling addiction controlling your daily activities through busyness can be a good decision, although it can be a difficult decision against your mind but if you are able to do it you can establish yourself as a successful person. Real experience is that when a friend of mine broke up with his girlfriend he made himself so busy that he did not give time to his close friends due to which he emerged as a completely successful businessman in a few years. In the case of gambling too, if you feel that you are addicted, you should try to stay busy continuously for alternative income to remove the pain of losing your money so that you can earn money as well as have mental peace. This is a great decision that increases your performance through hard work as well as earn money and try to refrain from regretting the negative decisions of the past.
