Well.
Those are movies and the setting depends on the scenery of the story and that's going to be a huge difference if we're going to relate it entirely with those gamblers that are totally addicted.
I understand the comparison but they're just movies compared to real life although we do agree at one thing, that a change of environment or place can touch the mind and heart of an addicted gambler and will make him realize things if it's too much.
Haven't you watched a movie that shows a person who, even though he's moved place, hasn't changed? I agree with @livingfree that it's only in movies, in real life-changing habits aren't that easy, things like that are just movie settings. with almost even coverage of the internet, the probability of a gambling addict stopping gambling is 25%.
Wow, I didn't know that there's that percentage of probability of a gambler to change.
And that's why the will of getting out is important because it's all dependent on them if they want to get out of it for real.
Having not such will just waste effort and time and that's why it's better to just do what you think you're good at. Two things with the environment that we're thinking.
About the actual place where it's all about nature and can breathe fresh air and the other one, the surrounding itself that consists of people nearby to us.
The actual location is indeed a good scenery that might affect the person if ever he is really addicted to gambling,
changing the atmosphere and working to your own will to avoid or totally eliminate any gambling activities that the person is
involve, it's the will that really helps to move away and completely remove this kind of a system inside your mind.
On the other hand, without the will, everything will only turn to nothing a waste of time that will only convert a little
but will just go back to original settings physically or mentally.
It is a way to unwind the gambler and make him think of something new and make himself clear from the atmosphere of gambling. Everyone needs this.
Whoever wants to think outside of the environment of what he used to get into. He has to take some good air to take time to refresh his body and soul.
