You will agree with me that society and the environment can have a great influence on the lifestyle of every individual, you often can find yourself doing, or being involved in that activity that almost everyone is involved with in that your locale as a result of influence. Now considering someone who is a gambling addict, is there any possibility of him/her becoming better if they are relocated to another environment or society where people around are not involved in gambling?
Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?
For me if the person is already addicted to it then there is a low chance that he/she would stop even if he/she moves to a new place.
We have so many online gambling sites nowadays so it would really be hard to stop for someone who is already addicted to it.
What you say is quite reasonable, because it does not guarantee that people who are addicted to gambling will stop gambling if they move
to a new environment. He will try to find a way to get him back to gambling, even if there is no internet connection in that place, people who
are addicted to gambling will gamble with simple activities with people in the environment. Like playing chess with betting money, then play cards
or even gamble using coins by guessing the side of the coin. Because if people are addicted to gambling, that person will do anything to be able
to gamble. So to cure gambling addiction there needs to be a strong desire from the gambler to stop gambling or be able to control himself
when gambling, so as not to overdo it when gambling. It would be better if assisted rehabilitation by professional help.
