My advice for those who want to change:
- Delete the sportsbook apps.
- Forever, do not re-download
- Self-exclude yourself.
- Asking a gambling venue to exclude you from the venue or a gambling activity offered by the venue.
- Lifetime ban, if not the maximum years
- If you have a loved one, they will be affected by it in some way, come clean to them what you are doing. If it gets pushed back and not talked about, It could be worse in the future.
- Gambling addiction is one of the most secretive addictions out there, stop hiding from your loved one and tell them EVERYTHING
- Attend a GA meeting (online or in person)
- Find a therapist that specializes in addiction.
- Make better habits
- Hit the gym
- Watch what youre feeding your mind
- Nutrition
- Social media
- Books
- YT videos
- Read books
- Learn about the gambling addiction
- When you learn enough, you’ll eventually feel disgusted you started
- If sports gambling is the main culprit, STOP WATCHING SPORTS
- Watching sports for us compulsive sports bettors is the gateway drug.
- Delete all sports apps
- Unfollow all sports teams and fan pages from social media
- Give control of your finances to a trusted person
- For gamblers, seeing money in a bank account could increase the risk of gambling, thinking we could turn that $100 in the account to $1k is not the right mindset to have.
- If you have a line of credit, cut up your credit cards, close the accounts.
