The first step in overcoming gambling addiction is to acknowledge that you have a problem and that it is causing negative consequences in your life.
Develop a plan to help you stop gambling, such as setting limits on the amount of time and money you spend on gambling, finding alternative activities to do instead of gambling, and avoiding triggers.
Remove or limit access to things that trigger your desire to gamble, such as avoiding places or people associated with gambling.
Keep yourself busy. Fill your time with activities that you enjoy, such as exercise, hobbies, or spending time with friends and family.
