Well, for someone like me who do not play gambling that much, yes. I am able to resist the urge to gamble. I think I am pretty much occupied by my chores at home, studies, and time with family and friends so it's somehow easy for me to say "no" or "wait" to gambling or any betting games. In other words, one can resist the urge if he draws his attention to different activities. I understand that it's kinda difficult for those who are hooked but if there's a will, there's a way. And who knows one might find himself more productive without gambling for a while.
