It will be more difficult to cure a gambling addict than to cure a drug addict because for drug addicts it is clear that there is rehabilitation and a separate method that has proven to be effective in healing them.

Yes, that's right because gambling addicts are not like drug addicts where they usually will not be able to recover even with professional encouragement or rehab, if it doesn't come from himself having the desire to stop gambling will be difficult even getting encouragement from family and friends will be very difficult because I have friends like that is very difficult to cure because his behavior and habit of gambling knows no time.

There are those who really recover and there are also those who reduce their gambling habits by changing their healthy mindset, as long as there is an intention within themselves to stop it can definitely be done and it is not difficult, just a little correction from your statement that drug addicts who leave rehab can recover, even though the fact is There are still those who can become addicted to drugs again after leaving rehab, so they cannot fully recover completely if they are not accompanied by intention within themselves.

All of this is because gambling addiction has such a large effect and there are many factors that cause a person to always engage in gambling activities, making it very difficult to control or stop gambling.
First, when someone really can't think about making money, they will gamble to make money, even though they know that making money from gambling is not easy.
Second, if a person is stressed and tired from work or business activities, they go to gambling sites to play with the aim of having fun and entertaining themselves.
In the end they will become crazy gambling addicts where they cannot leave gambling even for a day and until now there has been no effective way or strategy to control or cure these gambling addicts.

Yes, it can happen, but only a small proportion of the majority of gamblers can because the surrounding and social environment also affect it, for example you decide to stop or reduce gambling, but you still often hang out or hang out with friends who like to gamble, so indirectly as time goes by when you have a high chance of wanting to return to gambling and it will definitely happen.
