I dont really think that keep away from gambling for a while is hard to do because you just need some distraction to stay away from it. When you are nothing to do you can play it for a while but try not to busted it. Usually after you stop for a while you will slowly earn back and getting some profit again and you can a little bit control yourselves
If we find another way to earn some good amount for living and find some other good way for entertainment that it will be the time that we can easily restrict ourselves from gambling, because the two things we find in gambling attract us to there.
