That's right, in my opinion, someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to recover from their addiction, because someone who is addicted tends not to want to see anything other than their addiction because they will only focus on gambling, which has become something they usually do. but in my opinion it depends on the level of addiction, if their addiction is serious it is possible that they will not be able to stop gambling and as you said they can go back to gambling and it might even get worse in the future.

and if their addiction is not too serious, chances are they can recover in a short time, but it also depends on themselves whether they really want to stop gambling or not, if they are still hesitant about stopping gambling, chances are they will return to gambling again. a certain time because they cannot control their desire to gamble, and even if they still gamble, I don't think they will gamble within the set budget, but to minimize the risk of serious gambling addiction, perhaps this can be done by reducing their gambling activities and by limiting each budget when they want to gamble, but even so it doesn't guarantee that they won't become addicted to gambling.

Yeah, it depends how deep in the addiction the person is.

Also it depends on the why the person wants to stop being addicted.

At the end of the day, addiction is a difficult thing to overcome, and it requires a lot of work and time.

Yes, we can measure the difficulty of overcoming gambling addiction from how serious the addiction problem they suffer is, if it is very para in the sense that they have to justify all means to get money for gambling such as for example taking some actions out of control whether it is stealing or deceiving people then obviously requires an unusual formula or one that is considered powerful enough to be able to overcome it, no matter slowly because however it must take a long time to change their mindset and keep them away from their gambling habits.

There are many reasons that will come out of gamblers, some can be trusted and really say from their little hearts and some are basically just words, usually if they only say and there is no seriousness in terms of not taking any action then here I can already conclude a little that their desire to stop is only when they lose in one of their latest sessions which makes them desperate, but that is only for a moment and most likely when they already have money then they will gamble again.

Overall yes it is true that addiction is one of the things that is difficult to overcome, one of the reasons is because it is very difficult to change mindsets and habits and in addition to addicted gamblers they put hope in the activity so it is difficult to achieve awareness and common sense.
