When I am able to generate consistent profits in other businesses and of course far more than gambling profits, maybe that's when I will stop gambling and occupy myself in other businesses. It might be quite difficult to leave gambling for someone who is very addicted to gambling, but I'm sure someday he will come to his senses by himself.
And maybe for some people who are not married, they will start to stop gambling after marriage because they cannot continue that bad habit. They will think that needs in family are more important than gambling, well everyone has their own plans in future.
If you are a chronic gambler, you will have a hard time planning your exit plan, you will not even think of crerating a plan, only a proffesional psychiarist can help a chronic gambler to plan his exit, I'm lucky that I am not a chronic gambler, I can plan easily how can I plan my exist, I can replace it with online gaming which is very popular with all my friends.
I think it could be, a chronic gambler out of his gambling habit. It's just that it takes quite a long time, chronic gamblers will come out when they already feel bored with gambling and that's when they realize that they are doing bad habits. Everyone has restrictions, including limitations in addiction, someone surely have boredom.
