I suggest that if you feel that you are like that, you may visit some professionals to help you

And how's that supposed to work in practice?

As you say yourself, "compulsive gambling is the uncontrollable eagerness on gambling" (personally, I would say urge or obsession, but it doesn't really matter). If you don't listen to your family and your friends anymore, if you don't care about anyone, what on earth is going to make you listen to some advice here (or elsewhere in the Internet, for that matter)? Just curious

True that, exactly what I wanted to ask the OP. As soon as you know that you are addicted a huge (and the most important imo) milestone is achieved because you are automatically open for getting (professional) help.
As long as you deny that you are addicted no one gets close enough to help you out of the addiction. You always have to take the first step by yourself.

Well said, and that is the reason for you to visit some professionals if even the closest persons in your life won't do anything to make you stop gambling if their lessons for you won't keep on your mind if there advise to you won't work. Still, you really want to change your lifestyle, you want to limit yourself from gambling, then you should make an action, if changing your thinking won't work, or if you change your priority in life and focus on your family and friend but still doesn't work then I recommend that you should go to some professionals about mental health, you can consult on some psychiatrist, sot they will be able to give you a piece of advise and some good drugs. They are professionals they graduated their degree, so I believe that they know what to do in those cases.

I think I can pass as a compulsive gambler based on your description, After some regrets and realization, I got decided to reduce my activity and start changing myself. I've been a gambling addict for years and wasting countless money on my addictiveness. Friends and foes tried to change me before but I can't stop being the same, It's hard to get rid of being a compulsive gambler but it is possible. Try slowing down the activities and putting a limitation on yourself. It's almost a year since I start to change and it brings a significant change to my life. I also didn't seek professional help for my addiction. Just some deep realization I was able to change.

Changing is not impossible.

Not many people can do what you have done. Unfortunately most people do now know how to bring the change and how to quit the gambling. They just found themselves trapped by gambling and found no way to get out of it.

Indeed, we are all different, so basically we cannot do some things that others can do; we all have different ways to fix our problem. Still, if your strategy to fix the problem won't work, you can follow others advise or others technique on fixing the problem, there is no problem on that especially if that is a good thing.
