I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings by blocking casino adds and as well disabling gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve. This was just a little tip I gave as a possible solution. I had to put it up here for further discussions so that the bigger community can see it as well.
Not seeing does not mean you can get over your addiction, addiction cannot be cured that way, when there's a yearning to play a gambler will find a way to play, that is why restricting oneself from playing in a casino a gambler playing is useless, to overcome addictions, you need professionals you need to stop the symptoms and the urge and this can only happen with the help of professionals, self-cure will not help you overcome addiction it may even get your addiction worse, your recommendation will not eradicate addiction.
I agree with you, gambling addiction cannot be cured just like that, there are many things that must be done to get rid of the addiction, also with the level of their addiction which must be seen whether they are seriously addicted or not, because that will determine whether it is difficult or easy for them. to cure his addiction. If their addiction is serious, it is likely that it will be difficult to recover, because even someone who is addicted to gambling is sometimes unable to accept advice or input from other people.
in my opinion they will not recover even with encouragement from professional people, because if they themselves have no intention of stopping it will be difficult, I think before anyone else they must first have the mind to stop their addiction, if they have conscious and having the mind to stop, it is likely that they will try to do anything as long as it can stop their addiction. Someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily accept advice from other people, even if it is their own family, because someone who is addicted to gambling will usually experience a change in attitude and become stubborn. In my opinion, the first step is for them to be aware of themselves and reduce their gambling activities.
