Determination is the first and most important step in accomplishing any task. If someone really wants to quit gambling, it all comes down to how firmly he acts according to his decision. I usually say this to my friends, "A man never goes back on his words". Anything is possible if someone has really made up his mind.
I agree with you, without determination it would be impossible to achieve anything, specially to stop an addiction. But let's not forget that gambling can be a very strong addiction, just like drugs. So sometimes a very strong determination is just not enough, and the person might need professional help as well.
Dont even think of comparing gambling with drugs. There are addictive in drugs and there are none in gambling. It is pretty much gambling with your own free will. In the end you are going to choose wether you want to continue or not and it is never about addiction. In the end when you are determined, you can even stop from drugs
Right. For me, gambling is something that just needs to have a strong will for you to be able to avoid. Drugs though, once you get addicted, will won't be enough as you'll need professional help already as it will affect your health physically and mentally. Determination is a start but if you're deep into it, you'll need external help
