Personal willpower is crucial to resisting gambling. The psychological appeal of gambling must also be considered. We could also promote self-regulation and mindfulness in our culture. Could community support groups or gambling psychology education be helpful? A community that encourages self-awareness and responsible gambling may help us address this issue on a personal and societal level
Agreed. Willpower is what matters the most while support groups do tend to help now and then to a certain extent depending on the members in that particular group based on what I observed.
However, the community that you are expecting exists only in dreams since the reality is that most people don't give a damn about others.
