You dont need promises, you need your determination to stop if you wish to stop. If you are not determined then you might be coming back sooner than what you expected. Most people has no determination when it comes to stop gambling therefore we see alot of losers around that blame gambling has ruined their life
If a pereson cannot stop gambling > meand he will gamble everything he has. He cannot control himself and thus make him loss every mone he have and that is a bad thing. Remember a person that cannot stop gambling cannot calculate the money he will risk to lose. That is the reality.
