In order to end your addiction it might be helpful to set a date that you want to stop the addiction and work towards it. You can say to yourself that you want to stop gambling before your next birthday or you want to stop playing excessive video games before next Easter, New Year, Christmas etc. Selecting special dates would trigger a thing in your head that you don't want to disappoint yourself.
