I'm not sure that quitting gambling is the best way.
We will not talk about that particular case when a person came to gambling and immediately won a lot of money. After which he left gambling forever, because such lucky people are literally 1 in 1,000.
I am sure that if someone has strong self-control, then he can periodically gamble for small amounts and thus relieve stress and lift his spirits. It is still better than alcohol, and there is a chance to win even more money.
Or maybe 1 in 10000. It's difficult to quit after winning a big multiplier. Once you taste that sweet victory, you will be drooling for more. I experienced it many times, and I still play slots because I want to achieve it one more time. But I think it will be my last time if ever I get it again. The stress given by a losing streak is not easy to handle. There will be a point when one should just walk away from playing slots because it's not entertaining anymore, but more like a stressful type of game.
Winning or losing will not stop people from gambling. They get the thrill and challenge from gambling so they want to come back and play other gambling games. It is difficult to stay away from the temptations of gambling unless that person have a good self control. If you want to gambling, you should limit our time and not gambling too often and it is better you have a schedule so you know when you can playing gambling. That will make you playing gambling occasionally so you don't spend much money and could stay away from the problem.
