What is the best way to not gamble?

Hello,

Do people have any tips for staying on top of not gambling?

At the moment i’m for a couple of years addicted to gambling, and i do not have the drive to stop gambling.

Any advise is wanted.

Welcome Yannick. I don’t have any experience at all with gambling but I can confirm that a 12 step programme like AA is working for me for alcohol addiction. I know they have similar for gambling so wonder if that is worth checking out?

I don’t know how the legislation works in your country but in the U.K. you can ask the gaming sites you are registered with to block your access immediately. The service is called Gamban

If you’re determined enough to come here and ask for help, you should be determined enough to do that.

Good luck

Here’s a list of international meetings of Gamblers Anonymous. There are options for virtual meetings too (see the links in the menu at left on the site):

Reach out and connect with others in recovery from gambling. It will help. Don’t give up!
