Base on my experience it is really hard to quit gambling specially when you are already used to it, before my parents will get mad at me becauase I forgot my responsibility as a mom also they sees me almost got broke because of being addicted in gambling. One day I realize to quit gambling and I really want to do it so by the help of my love ones and determination to change I now stop or quit in gambling .
In my own points of view, to quit gambling doesn't mean you quit yourself because we can find other alternate to gambling which we can make our life meaningful. We can set other kinds of habit to entertain ourselves. Let's make our family the true and meaning of our life.
Good to hear your story and this is the story of every gambler. He doesnt do anything except gambling which is bad. An addicted gambler has no respect in society and even in his family as you told that your parents got angry upon you just because of gambling. You should never look to this side again otherwise you will destroy your life and your family as well.
