Apparently, in short, your heart wants to change, which is why your mind doesn't want to quit. It's really hard to fight yourself, isn't it? But you've actually got to give a reminder to others here, even though you yourself admit that because of greed, you can't quit.
Your warning is right; don't chase your losses. I agree with this; that's why you have a hard time getting rid of your greed. Anyway, if a gambler really wants to, apart from what you said that there must be a strong will, we must also be determined to do it from the heart.
He needs to train himself more so he can change and stop gambling. He could try to control himself first and not gamble for a while. And to fill the time he usually uses for gambling, he can try other activities that divert his attention. If he can do this, it seems he can change and stop his habit of gambling because avoiding gambling for a while while doing other things can help someone to quit gambling. Yes, he must have a strong determination from the heart to succeed in changing it and stop gambling. But if he still wants to return to gambling, he needs to practice self-control first because that can prevent his greed from getting bigger so he won't experience bigger losses.
It's not easy to just stop gambling, especially if you have become an addict, the only way is to get used to reducing it slowly so that the brain and heart become accustomed to the pressure on our minds to continue gambling, I'm sure people can do that too. like I can also do it because I have the determination to reduce my gambling activities so that I can be more controlled.
Limit your time and money so you don't indulge yourself in gambling too much. There must be a limit so you don't play any further because by reducing our gambling activities, of course we can control it later, especially suppressing the high desire to gamble, because we are used to reducing it, so whenever we can. stop gambling at any time if you feel ready. But I would rather reduce my gambling activities than stop gambling, because I only gamble for fun and don't prioritize gambling as a source of income. The healthier your mindset, the better it will be.
