Okay, I'll answer. Honestly, I've been addicted before, exactly a year ago, and it lasted for about two years. I don't know what caused my addiction, but the intense gambling environment made it difficult for me to set any boundaries. The horrific experiences I experienced during my addiction included selling my belongings, going into debt, stealing, having problems with my family and being shunned by them.

Nothing helped me overcome my addiction. I did it purely out of courage when I realized how severe my gambling approach had become. It all started with one step: isolating myself from the gambling environment and removing all access to it, such as local bank accounts, cleaning and changing my email address, and adding work to my free time.

During this process, I never gave myself a single moment without any activity, because when that happened, the urge to gamble would always haunt me.

My most effective advice for overcoming addiction is to have the courage to remove all access to it. That's all, and good luck.
