I want to hear more ideas about how someone stops or controls their gambling habits. 
I started to bet in February 2014 and the addiction started also immediately. I stopped betting in August 2019 because the addiction made my life miserable. I gambled in September 2020 but I stopped again when I noticed that I may get addicted. Two months later, I gambled again but I noticed I have control over gambling. I did not gamble often anymore till today and I use small amount of money. What that corrected me was that I stopped thinking about how to make money from gambling. I realized that I was fooling myself that it is not possible and that made me quit problem gambling.
Loss of self consciousness for a considerable long period of time can lead us to becoming addicted to what ever we do that is addictive, not just gambling.
And another one is setting goals, and this is where discipline comes in, we can set goals but without self discipline, we won't be able to stick to our goals, a person can set a goal to only gamble three times in a week and only spend a maximum of $10 on each of those days he or she will gamble during the week, this is a very good goal as it not only helps the gambler not to get addicted, but also help to save money, but self discipline is required to keep to this goal, for without this, we simply will say we will do one thing, and then the next minute, find ourself doing something totally different.
