If you look at the experience of a friend of mine who used to be an addict, we can now stop gambling completely and even then he couldn't just stop gambling, he slowly reduced it gradually over several years until finally he felt gambling was boring and useless. In the end he was able to stop. gamble and switch to other professions or hobbies that are more positive and make money for him, but there is also a friend of mine who can't stop gambling but he can reduce it and only play on weekends.
I also don't stop gambling and only gamble on weekends because on weekdays I work so my mind doesn't constantly invite me to gamble, so the point is that gambling must be responsible and wise so as not to become an addict, because it is difficult to cure a person's bad habits. addict, don't let that happen to you so do another job so you don't use it entirely for gambling.
That is a real example shown by your friend who was previously an addict. An addict can change his gambling habits by doing other activities and even though it seems slow, he can still do it until he can finally stop gambling. If there is awareness of a gambling addict who no longer feels any benefit from gambling, he will start other activities so that he does not return to gambling and your friend has done the right thing. And it will be up to each person to overcome his gambling activities.
I also still gamble but not too often and try to divert my attention from gambling so as not to gamble too often. Yes, a gambler must be responsible with his gambling activities so as not to cause problems and we should also do other things to help us divert our attention from gambling.
In my opinion, all the gamblers who go back and forth to casinos are trying to change or reduce their passion for it, but most of them are just having a hard time, so they can't just avoid playing gambling. especially if they feel that they might be lucky on this day, for sure they will find a way to actually play.
But if they are really determined to reduce it little by little, they can do it as long as they really want 100% because they will do it in a way that is for sure, because that is all that is needed, and they will fight against ourselves because it is our mortal enemy in fact.
If the gambler goes back and forth to the casino, they may find it difficult to reduce their gambling habit because the offers at the casino can tempt them. And they won't stop easily, especially after seeing this tempting offer. There is a possibility that they will think about trying the offer and gambling again one last time. But instead of it being the last time, they ended up at the casino for a while and spent all their money.
But if they are truly determined to reduce their gambling, they will not look back after deciding to stop gambling. They will leave the casino immediately and won't be there for some time. They better calm themselves down for a while and busy themselves with other things.
Yeah, if the desire to quit is stronger inside no matter what the person will push it to happen, not easy as if it is that easy maybe we will see fewer people who will be engage and be addicted, most might quit before addiction take place but once you engage yourself and you already entertain the pleasure, most of the time you got out of control with your decision making.
Being responsible is something that needs to work out before stepping yourself into this activity. If you know by yourself that you
are not that good at controlling your emotion it's best not to take this route and find other things to entertain yourself.
That is why if someone really wants to stop gambling, he must have a strong determination and no longer hesitate in his decision. He must be able to achieve what he wants and will not just give up because he really wants to stop gambling. But if that person cannot get the enthusiasm to stop gambling, he will not stop or even reduce his gambling activities because he still wants to gamble again. That is really not an attitude that should be shown by a gambler who wants to stop gambling because he is still interested in gambling.
And before we experience it, we must be truly responsible for everything so we don't jump into this activity without self-control. We must control our emotions and not play gambling for too long so that no temptation can make us stay in the casino longer.
