I would not say that it is easy for a real gambling addict to overcome his addiction to gambling, even if he himself wants it.
A common part of the healing process is to abstain from gambling for a period of time. And then, being in a certain mood, such gambler can still, as they say, break loose and start playing and losing again. This is a very unpleasant moment in this healing process. And by the way, it is quite difficult to determine exactly how long a gambling addict should not play at all in order to understand for sure that he is no longer attracted to gambling at all and even if he plays, he will easily finish any game.
It seems to me that this time can be calculated in years.
Only then can we consider that I have cured the gambling addiction completely..
It's not easy to overcome his addiction to gambling, but if he really wants it, he has to try even though it's hard to do so. Only with a strong desire to cure his addiction can the healing process take place and positively impact his life. Everything depends on the gambler because he knows what he wants so that people who want to help him can help him. Starting the healing process is also not easy because gamblers try to let go of everything related to gambling and start something completely different. And maybe he also won't know how long it will take him to completely cure his gambling addiction. He can only try to go through all the healing processes well and with his family's help and support, which can make him successful in going through all the healing processes.
