Correct, but many people are not informed enough about the tracking abilities that companies have these days, so they make the mistake of keeping their old smartphone or email accounts and that is how those companies keep sending them information related to gambling.
So it is not surprising that now leaving an addiction behind is becoming more and more difficult, and while it is obvious that it can still be done, it is not as if those companies are making the life of those people any easier.
It should not be easy for these people to give their email account addresses or mobile numbers to other parties so that they will not receive information about offers to play gambling again if they move. This is very important to note so that we will not become victims again because, after all, we want to avoid gambling so we decide to move places. But it will all be useless if their offers still tempt us because we can easily follow them without thinking twice, making our life riskier.
It was not hard to ignore those emails if we really wanted to change our lives and stop gambling forever.
With the help of our family, nothing is impossible as long as we help ourselves as well. We have to make busy our minds think about something (not gambling) to diversify our focus and let addiction heal gradually until it was done. It needs a new environment and I believe this is a very effective way.
With help of your family little by little those people who got addicted will get away by this addiction but they also need to help their selves because if their family members do all what they can do to help them out and still the person affected is not participating nor helping his self maybe all of those efforts will be nothing. For this changing environment away from gambling scene will be suitable case to those people because for sure slowly by slowly they might forget about gambling.
