Default Re: Finding something to replace poker

If you want to quit poker, you need to use the power of peer pressure.

You need to surround yourself with friends who not only don't play poker, but downright disapprove of it. That kind of pressure always works a treat. The downside of this is that you will also need to cut poker playing friends out of your life... otherwise its next to impossible to give up your poker addiction. If the oppurtunity to indulge/discuss/think about poker is presented to you on a regular basis, you will find it hard to let go... not even attempting to replace it with another hobby will work, if the temptation to play poker/gamble is presenting itself all the time.

Plus, don't try to replace poker with just one single new hobby... instead have two or three new hobbies to replace it (that way, you avoid simply 'shifting' your addiction to another game/hobby/person/vice). Choose stuff that you have always wanted to do, or have previously enjoyed doing.

Finally... [ QUOTE ]
I've unistalled all poker software from computer but i need to reinstall it for rakeback.

[/ QUOTE ] ... uninstall the poker software again, and forget about your rakeback payments. Seriously. Its likely that, that rakeback money will be in your poker account for the next year... but you need to cut off the poker rooms from your life right NOW...
