Yes, of course. You are not doomed to a life of total gambling addiction for the rest of your life, and it's possible to treat it to get rid of the addiction. 

If you have a serious gambling addiction, then my first tip would be to visit a doctor or other health care professional to get help. For many people the addiction has roots in psychological issues, so psychotherapy and things like that could really help with the treatment. 

I also noticed that you used the word "control" instead of something like "stop" or "get rid of", which is interesting. It would be a lot more difficult to have a controlled gambling habit if you are a recovering addict than it would be to just quit it all together. For most people, it's very easy to fall back into old habits. So most people have to quit 100 % to get rid of their addiction, but I suppose some people might be comfortable having a normal gambling level after the treatment. 

I second this.

If you want to "control" this, the best way is to stop.

I have a relative with a gambling addiction, it is sad to watch a >20 year long and onging addiction to destroy a live and lead to total loss of a normal live.

I heard her talking about "finally controling it" and only playing a set amount of games or money per month to often to not know that this only works when the gambling made her money. If she lost she will just continue to try winning back the losses like always. And ofc this can not work out because the game is always in favour of the house ;)

I whish you a gambling free and happy future :)

Here are my own suggestions:

1. produce one thing new in your life

You need to alter your focus. thus typically individuals simply attempt to take away one thing that consumes our mind with out filling it with one thing. you'll ne'er stop considering gambling till you discover one thing that may become additional fascinating in your life.

The best thanks to amendment your focus is to develop a hobby you'll study, track and make goals around. one thing that may bring you results and make momentum wherever gambling now not serves your new purpose and intentions.

For example, lets take understanding. thus you start to travel to the gymnasium. Your goal is to urge to fifteen body fat. thus you start chase your weight, body fat, after you head to the gymnasium, and what you're lifting. Then you purchase a handful books on bio-hacking to attain your results. Over a handful months there's an excellent risk that this can be wherever you're focusing it slow and gambling now not serves a purpose in your life.

2. perceive your triggers and take away them from your life

I don't grasp what reasonably gambling you're into, however let's imagine it's sports. My recommendation is that you simply take away all sports from your life. No websites, take away the posters from the wall, and block EPSN on the tv.

Just reading and observance regarding sports goes to create you think that you simply have a foothold. which can cause you inserting another bet.

3. be part of a community

Maybe their may be a Gambling Anonymous meeting out there you'll head to. or simply head to associate Alcohol Anonymous meeting to start out with.

In my opinion, an excellent higher resolution would be to hitch a bunch around your new hobby. Lets follow understanding.

You want to make a brand new body and spirited energy for yourself thus you would like to surround yourself with such individuals. thus you be part of a morning running cluster on the Sabbatum and Sunday. Plus, you signed up for a night Crossfit category on Tuesday and a nutrition workshop on Wednesday.

All of a abrupt you're connecting with an oversized cluster of individuals in your new interest and develop a brand new cluster of friends that serve your new purpose in life.

These are my own suggestions for you. Hope they would be helpful to you..

Chop off the index finger. Everytime you see the severed finger, you will not want to gamble anymore
