I've considered numerous times how to stop gambling; it's a dangerous path that no one wants to take. Stopping gambling is not something you do immediately or in a single day. This generally takes a long time before one can totally distinguish themselves from addicts. I do take the time to check the recreational activities that would divert my attention away from gambling; it takes time, but no pain, no gain. It's heartbreaking to see our contemporaries become gambling addicts. I understand their desire for financial freedom, but gambling is not the way to achieve it. It will only lead us into huge debts, forcing us to sell our possessions and valuables in order to settle everything.
