You got a point though but im not really that taking back on what i have said about its not necessary because on initial phase then having that self realization is primarily needed for you to get rid of addiction.
Yes, its hard but its not impossible and for sure there are some gambling addicts had already done such thing without even touching up professional seek of help.Just like i have said that each person is different
when it comes to their self control and discipline on which there are some who could be able to do it but there are ones who do fail on this part and this is why they do fail on quitting even into those
early signs of addiction but rather they do tolerate out that kind of feeling or emotion towards gambling on which this one makes them addicted.
And that's a good point it's not necessary if you have that self-will I mean if you can really deal with it even how hard for you to quit all the way, and also a valid point in seeking for professional as an extra help to guide you to start balancing your life, not impossible in the sense that your willingness really push you but if in case that it's tough battle with you, I mean if that linger inside you continue to push your desire to gamble, professional help will help you to overcome that.
There's a step-by-step process, but still that self-will is the important factor to achieve that goal. Quitting is not easy if you are already addicted that's the thing, and it's only you who can help to free yourself from this addiction.
