How do your guys battle with gambling addiction?

Is anybody here writing daily journal to keep their mind sharp? This is my second day of not gambling. Well technically I maxed out all my credit cards and personal loan so I couldn’t go self destructive mode. I quit and then relapse several time to hope I could make back all the losses. Perhaps when I quit for a while I forget how it feels like when gambling? I think I should start a new habit to write my struggle so that I continue to remember my gambling addiction and how it destroy my health, my finance and if it continues, it will destroy my life completely.
