That's how you quit.
Pure and simple.
Yes, it's simple, but it's hard to do because the addiction is not just to talk about the addicted itself, but it also needs to know what the method to solve the problem. And once the right method can apply, I am sure the addiction will be cured. But it needs a big effort to stay patient while we are trying to solve the problem and we need more support from other people.
I don't understand this one, because addiction is not a crime its a battle between you and your emotion. If you're addict in gambling, you cannot stop that easily you have to undergo with the process, and that process will take more time. Its good if there is someone who can work with you, and help you to be better again, patient is the key of course but try to put big effort on that.
That is the problems nowadays. They are eliminating or containing the affected areas but they are not stopping the root of the problem. Instead of arresting these addicts, why not stop the gambling places or the casinos? And I know no one would want that and in the end, it is on our hands to stop ourselves from gambling and be addicted to it. No one can stop ourselves but us.
