I agree that our power of will is the ultimate thing and people can create great lives and get out of struggling situations
but it's also worth noting how the environment can affect us, being in a calmer place, in contact with nature, not rushing, not eating junk food and exercising will improve our lives in many levels.Absolutely. There's no doubt about that. Changing the ecological environment for better does have a lot of benefits. But I think, when we talk about gambling addiction, by environment we mean people that surround you. If you move to another place, but the people around you will remain the same, that will hardly help you to deal with your addiction.
