Uchenna10: Bro, I can really imagine the pain you're going through. Gambling addiction, like other addictions. Be it drugs, porn, or even excessive masturbation, is not something easy to overcome. But the fact that you’ve opened up about it here, despite knowing how toxic this forums can get sometimes, shows one thing clearly: you truly want to change. And that's the first major step. First, understand this: gambling addiction is not just a habit. It’s a form of mental struggle, and it often needs more than just willpower. One of the most important things is to let go of the belief that you’ll strike it big one day. That mindset keeps many people trapped. Avoiding the environment that triggers you is also crucial. If that bet shop is always pulling you in, consider switching to another POS location—even if it’s further away. It might seem small, but removing the temptation helps a lot. You might also want to consider ing a group—there are a few Nigerian-based communities online that focus on quitting gambling. A good place to start is following someone like @lobistars on Twitter. He organizes sessions where people share their strategies for quitting and staying clean. Also, try to stay active—mentally and physically. Idle time is dangerous. Even something as simple as regular exercise or learning a skill online can help shift your focus. You’re not alone in this. And you’re definitely not beyond help. Keep pushing, stay honest with yourself, and don’t be ashamed to seek help ,even professional help if you can afford it. You still have time to rebuild, especially now that NYSC is ending. Wishing you strength and healing, bro. You can overcome this. 9 Likes |

Ask God to help you deal with the problem of gambling. Be disciplined as well. One without discipline is like a building without wall. 2 Likes |

1st, understand why you went into gambling. It all started there. Next what you started with the intention of doubling your money, ended up hijacked my spirits. If it was something that involve no spirit, you will just wake up one day and stop it. But, No. So what you need now is a higher Spirit, called the Holy Spirit. Submit to Him and watch the power subdued. Without this solution, you can't do much to that spirit behind the longing to play. You may decided to do it without the Holy Spirit, but I bet you, you will go back to it and this time, very strong. So, my solution to you is the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. |

Uchenna10: Go to your bank, open a piggy bank, instruct them to be taking 80% of any money that comes to your and save it to your and never allow you come to take it until 3-6months time depending... If you earn in cash, get someone who will stand for you , to collect any money you make everyday 80% and be saving it for you....look for an aggressive girlfriend to assist you on this... Then don't forget prayers , that God should give you the willing heart to go and do this... Is better to be broke and hungry but have #1M in your ....( This one doesn't kill ) Than squandering your #1M and still be broke and hungry.... 😂 😂( This one is worst than HIV) 1 Like |

Uchenna10:Donald Trump who's a messiah to Christian fundamentalists has casinos(gambling or betting) ; take this from me, virtual games are meant to drain punters but if you must bet do live sports by following recommendations from experts. Betting is a business of speculating future outcomes of sports activities just the way people speculate forex and crypto future prices. Be disciplined or visit other POS shops in order to avoid temptations. 1 Like |

Betting has a lot to do with: 1) Managing risk 2) Discipline. You must not chase millions, thousands, and hundreds of money. Oh my dear! you want to use to use 100naira to win millions of naira. That's greed ! Unfortunately everything betting is been built on greed! And it works because people are greedy. Keyword: learn to manage risk and staying discipline! Betting is about attitude and mind set! Betting pays me everyday. I see it as sport investment not just betting. 1 Like |
