Maybe that's one way but I believe that quitting gambling is very difficult especially if we have been addicted to gambling for a long time.
I even say that very often when I lose a lot in gambling but as time goes by when my finances return to normal then I will gamble again.
If there is a strong desire to stop gambling and say so not when you are down, I think there are few people who can do it even if they only say so to themselves.
Yes, unfortunately, this is a fact no one can deny. Quitting gambling is very difficult. What's worse is that most addicts know they are addicted but they can't stop. Very few are able to do it.
Most gamblers do the same thing when they lose a lot gambling. They say: "We'll never go back" but as soon as their financial situation returns to normal, they forget their promises and return to gambling. This is human nature present in most people, and it's very difficult to overcome this human weakness except through strong willpower.
