Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ?

I think its impossible to stop once you have been addicted, no mater what you do.

it can be done but it cannot be an immediately action. you must learn how to adjust to it and that may takes time. you can try to reduce the urge, duration of gambling, amount gamble etc. so in the long run, it is possible to stop the addiction but it is still depend heavily on the user.

But some people are so crazy about gambling, that once they see a game going on television they hardly have the power to resist themselves from gambling on that. I think some people trust their luck just too much.

thats just weak willpower, those people need outside help to quit and usually, that help needs to force them to stay away from their addiction. and its not that these people trust their luck, its more like they trap themselves and convince themselves that theyre lucky and will always win the next time, its the only explanation for why they keep coming back despite losing every time.
