I think everyone knows the difficulty of quitting something that is inherent or addictive. With gambling that can be addictive for the players, of course this will have a bad impact on them and the impact can even fatally damage their mindset to become crazy. Without the intention within themselves, in my opinion, it will be useless even with encouragement or support from their family who advise them to stop gambling. Only they themselves can do it to stop gambling and leave all the madness in gambling.

It may be difficult to stop directly, but there are various ways for them to try in order to leave gambling addiction, one of which they can reduce the length or frequency of their play, for example if they play every day they should be able to reduce it by playing only on weekends, and their daily lives are filled with other activities that are more useful, or they can also fill their daily lives by forcing not to gamble. So however it all depends on themselves, because they alone have the decision.

Experiencing a gambling addiction can be prevented by each person. Still, they don't want to do it because of the pleasure they continuously get so they decide to use it more often and in this case, they use gambling more often to get that pleasure. They don't realize that they actually have a gambling addiction but can always deny it and say they are fine. People who see that they have a gambling addiction often suggest trying to do other things apart from gambling so that they will get used to doing other things and that can prevent them from thinking about gambling.

It is true that only they can reduce or even stop gambling because advice from other people will not work if they do not have the awareness to start. They can try to reduce their gambling and choose to gamble only on weekends. And this requires a strong determination to be able to change habits that have been going on for a long time so that he can slowly reduce his gambling activities and even stop gambling. If they can realize this, of course, it will help them to be able to escape from the influence of gambling and will not be tempted by anything in the casino and they will just have to gamble as usual and if they are having fun, they will immediately stop gamble.

Indeed, addiction isnt merely limited to substances, it latches onto feelings. Strong feelings, whether from gambling, love, or anything, can spiral into addiction. The pleasure derived from gambling can be all-consuming, overshadowing rational thought. People, as you've mentioned, can be in this pleasure-filled trance, often oblivious to their spiraling habits. Its akin to chasing a mirage; they seek the euphoria but are never truly satisfied.

Your point about self-awareness is paramount. Introspection is the first step towards breaking the shackles of any addiction. Relying on advice alone is futile if the individual doesnt perceive a problem. Self-regulation, like limiting gambling to weekends, demands immense determination. Yes, its a herculean task to alter ingrained behaviors, but the realization and acknowledgment of a problem can be a transformative force. When they find themselves in the thrall of the casino, its this self-awareness that will act as their anchor.

When a gambler is addicted to gambling, he's not just a threat his personal life and future but also a threat to everyone around him including family members. An addicted gambler is very ready to to anything that'll provide him the money to continue his gambling including stealing and other illicit activities that are condemnable by the general society. That's it's very important to notify anyone who wants venture in to gambling to leave how to gamble responsibly or leave anything that has to do with gambling.
