Doing other things like work will not eliminate gambling habits instantly, especially for those who have gambled for years. It takes time before we can forget about gambling completely. And during the process, we may need other hands to make it true.
Exactly. Quitting gambling is not an easy process. For gamblers that have been into gambling games for quite some time, it's often difficult for them to quit as they would require some effort and help from others to achieve said purpose. The addiction involved with gambling games, and the feeling of becoming rich in the future, are things that make it nearly impossible for a gambler to ignore.
However, I believe that if you as a gambler take the decision to quit gambling, then there would be nothing stopping you from doing so within any point in time. Whenever you see that you're losing more than what you're earning, it's the perfect time to quit gambling or it will be too late. Therefore, it all depends on the specific gambler himself if he wants to stop gambling by taking the right steps or simply continue with the addiction. Just my opinion
