Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?

Quitting gambling can be a difficult decision for active gamblers especially when they have just made a lot of money. It is very difficult to control desire when the urge to play has grown, this is the same as active smokers or alcoholics, they will feel uneasy before their desire is channeled.
Few people are able to control themselves to quit a habit that has become a routine in their life. Some people gamble not only because of the prospect of winning, there are many motivations for the habits they often do, one of which is because they are buying entertainment for themselves after doing boring activities elsewhere.

There are a few factors that are important when it comes to quit our gambling career. First of all, how long have we been gambling? For people like me who are used to gambling for several years it's going to be much harder, than for someone who only gambled for a few months. Once gambling becomes part of your weeky habits it will be hard to change it again. Another factor is going to be how much spare time do we have. Let's say we become a millionaire and stop working completely, then we have so much free time every day and don't know what to do with it. It's going to be much hard to stay away from the casinos then. A good thing about life changing wealth coming from gambling is that we don't have any pressure anymore to win big in gambling. Once we are rich there is no need to bet big anymore. I think that my approach would be to still keep gambling and only bet very small amounts. Like that the risk of losing all my winnings again is fairly small and I still can enjoy the excitment of gambling.
