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.

If a person moves to a rural place with no internet connection and gambling is frowned upon by the community in that area, then there is nothing that person can do but stop gambling. That is a simple scenario where a gambling addict has no choice but to stop gambling because he has no access to gambling facilities and the people around him look at gambling activity as a bad thing.

true
but this is also a really radical change
may work for some people
implementing gradual changes is also a good idea
simple things as exercising and eating healthy can improve quality of decision making by a lot.

Not only on eating and excising but on all things that would really make yourself diverted your attention so that you would really be changing up your attention into something else which would
really be helpful on quitting or solving gambling addiction.Changes in places or thing around will might affect or not but it all matters on someones mindset since there are various or lots of ways
which you could really still make yourself involved thats why self discipline and prohibitions should really be implied strictly or simply does have that self control.
Addiction is something hard that you couldnt really control thats why lots had messed up their lives.
