A gambler's life is divided into two periods, when he is not addicted and therefore can but does not want to quit gambling, and when he is addicted to gambling and cannot quit on his own. The problem is that a gambling addict believes that he is not addicted and can quit gambling at any time.
Even when you have entered into full addiction to the game you can get out of it, there are much worse addictions that are defeated daily. One above all the excessive addiction to tobacco, I could tell many stories of those who for health reasons had to give up tobacco.
It takes willpower!
