I just get addicted to another thing entirely.

Bro
to stop gambling is very simple

I was ones a core gambler but I currently distaste it. However, u can find the following tips practically useful. it occurred to me spontaneously.
1: Don't argue and use the word ' make u bet am' that sentence is quite tempting. but a situation whereby ur friends use it for an argument just stop the argument. even if the money to stake is #50.
2: as nijabet is the coco now, please choose the matches to watched( ie is if u are a die hard sports man) and if u want to leave for the venue, empty u pocket( don't go with money) nijabet is not on credit
3: In case u are tempted to bet (which must be) just use that money and walk down to any HUMAN BEING that is not a najibetter and dash the money and tell the person THANK U.
4: See nijabet or gambling in general as an 'odd of a million' risk. in this sense, I will start investing ur money in other business where u have ' odd of two' risks.
5: buy urself good meal and enjoy urself with money equivalent to betting
6: Finally, tell people not to gamble boldly and boldly tell them u don't gamble a game. in this law of pronouncement, nothing will drag u back.

enjoy ur victory and don't kill urself.

u can call me on 08065079608 for any advice. may God help u.

That's the major problem...

I can't do with out my phone a day..

toprealman:
That's the number one thing you have to fight bro. The battle is your not anybody's! We can only advise but the deed is yours to do. Since you have been on social media or other platforms, have you made a dime from them? Now the gambling stuff needs to be tackled. You just have to put the phone 'down' for a bit......you need to be in TOTAL control!

You lifted my spirits

Sucuidalthought:


I will try and do that,

Jaytecq:
A man told me: "Anything you don't have power over or you can't stop is SPIRITUAL"
Those words have helped me and those i talked too about addiction.

Optmus:
I use to masturbate and watch porn a lot. Sometimes 5 times a week.

I tried stopping it but couldn't.

Then I sought spiritual solutions.

I embraced the Eucharist. I'm a Catholic.

So everyday I attend morning mass and make sure I receive The Holy Communion.

I didn't allow any excuse. My umbrella was always ready in case it was raining. My sweater was always ready in case the weather is too cold. I made sure I go to bed not later than 10pm so that I can always wake up by 4:30am. I did this for more than 30 days.

I also stopped staying in my room(comfort zone) all the time. This helped me stop my bad habit.

You might not be a Catholic like me but I'm sure you go to church. You can start participating in your church weekly programs.

Someone above me said that 'That habit which you can't control is a spiritual problem'. I totally agree. Maybe your village people are trying to keep you poor through football betting.

Then stop watching football matches for now. The stop going to betting shops.

Find something else that will be keeping you busy.

Then you can cultivate the habit of reading. You learn a lot from reading.

Then minimize going out with your friends that remind you about betting.

I think my write up will help a lot.

You won't quit if you don't reduce your zest for football. Stay away from football. Start doing other productive things on match days. Don't go to where they watch matches. Track your development and see of you are making progress. In the end you will realize you are wasting your youthful life on something that has no value for you; football. You will argue with me that it is an entertainment for you but it is killing you already. There are other things to entertain yourself with. Go and read. Sign up to Quora and medium.com.
Lastly, your peers, change them if they are a pressure to you. X

alexistaiwo:
Simply find another addiction to take its place this time something more productive like reading, exercise and the rest..

modernWays:
I laughed when i see people saying they cant stop something they were addicted to. True of the matter is that, humans tend to continue doing a particular thing as long as they still have the resources, will or chances to do it.

Nothing can help you until you start having a lot of responsibilities, gone broke and have no other means to borrow or steal.

Will you keep quiet...
What is wrong with football?..
Visual football is not normal football but just computerized game..
If you don't know what to say,just read and pass..

IamAlexander:
OP, I understand your concern and share your plight. Regardless of whatever the circumstance might be please suicide is not and never optional.

I congratulate you because you have broken the addiction by 50% for coming out to seek for helpful advise...good one!

However, for the remaining solution it will depend on your Mind..

Addiction is a thing of the mind. Please note that your freedom won't be easy but IF you are determined and make up your mind you will win the battle.

The practical steps to take are;

Ask yourself why am I into gambling? I know the primary reason why most people indulge in gambling is for financial freedom... Hear me, no freedom comes from gambling but rather bondage, depression, anger, poverty and penury. It's a pure lie that you can make it from gambling... Never! Rather you bring upon yourself pain, agony, sleepness night, debt-ridden life and loss of self value. You need to absorb this fact and change your mindset...

Live within your means... Forget all this flashy lifestyle of young ones this days all in the quest of showing off...it's all fake and will soon go away with the wind because it's never through genuine hardwork the money was made...Also, discourage yourself from borrowing. Debt is bad! Anytime you borrow you become a slave to the creditor.

Check your spending habit... What consumes your money, is it productive? Does it add value to your life? Are you the type that earns N100 and spend N120? This habit must stop.

Make access to money difficult-- only hold the cash you need at a time. You can form the habit of keeping your money--idle or unused funds in an account without Atm card or internet banking making it difficult for you to access. This is to control the urge to withdraw and use it on gambling.

Disconnect from friends that always encourage or sees nothing evil in gambling. They want to ruin your life.

Resist family or peer pressure... Stay in your lane. Learn to say NO to family demands or matching up with friends... Don't compare yourself with anyone. You are unique. Run your own race. The sky is big enough for birds to fly.

Seek divine help--lastly, I will advise you also pray whilst you put the above steps into action.

My one cent.
