Here are a few strategies I found helpful in staying away from gambling all this time:
- Keeping myself busy and focusing on work.
Your story is a good motivation for others who are trying to control their gambling habits.
One thing I have learnt from my experience is that "time heals every wound".
Utilizing your time effectively will help you tackle any addiction and will heal all your wounds.
By keeping yourself busy in good things, you will surely come out as a better person.
