So difficult, it is a pleasure to you when you gamble, so stopping yourself from your pleasure is really hard. If you are ruined by gambling,I think you will have a courage to stop these activity or addiction. It is not bad if you can stop it slow, not quick, it is really hard that you don't need to speed up your stopping from addiction, you need to start slow.
If you enjoy gambling it's not necessary to stop, you just have to plan how much you can afford to spend on it in, say, per week. But if you are greedy and you want to make quick money, and you want more and more even when you have won a bit, then it's a different story, and gambling has little to do with it. Greedy people, even if they quit gambling, pretty soon will find a way to turn their own life and life of their relatives to hell again.
