I agree with your opinion and all of that, if it is based on really big intentions and determination then I am sure that even a crazy gambling addict can stop and recover from his addiction.
But the problem is there is this intention because it is difficult to have the intention and persistence to be able to stop and most gambling addicts really want to recover but when they try it they are tempted again to play games or bets that they have previously loved.
Saying how to stop gambling is easier than we imagine and of course to be able to get through all the challenges to stop is very difficult.
Our intentions varies, we only have the chance to explore it when we deserved them. Gambling addicts might easily say they can stop gambling, but actually performing it is difficult to do. They usually have to work severely to stop it, which is not a straightforward task for them. Addicts will go to any dimension to gamble on games; they don't even have principles, and if they do, they can simply annihilate them. Gambling addicts want to quit but don't know how; it's similar to addiction, where you can't live without a particular drug on a regular schedule.
