While I'm normally fine with finances, during episodes I have little to no ability to keep my money in my possession.... Now, whenever a paycheck comes, I immediately scramble it to places that I can't touch it quickly. A chunk of it goes into a savings account with withdrawal limits. Another chunk goes to a broker - not even investing it right now, just setting up the cards so that it takes a few days to transfer the money in and out. Essentially my version of a self-imposed cool-down period. I have to make sure my money isn't terribly liquid, or else I'll just metaphorically spill it everywhere.
I can't speak much to the gambling end of things, but maybe it'll help to limit the financial scale of weak moments and monetary loss?
