The environment can also have an influence, if a person sees that he easily succumbs to various kinds of addictions, then he should choose his environment very carefully. Because even if he wants to quit gambling, but the people he is with will tell how they play and even win (this may not even be true), then this will push him to make another bet. And sometimes it is very difficult to recognize an addiction, a person tells himself that he can stop whenever he wants, but is this true.

It is true that the environment influences someone who wants to stop gambling, because stopping an addiction is very difficult, especially if there is incitement from our own environment. But in my opinion, the environment does not fully influence unless accompanied by strong determination and intention, because when we are alone we can incite the mind to gamble again. Therefore, we must be able to restrain ourselves by changing our busy lives or increasing positive activities so that the memory of gambling is buried, because if the memory of gambling comes, it may be very difficult for an addict to handle. But maybe this is not completely effective, but there is a small possibility that it can work as long as the intention and determination are still planted in ourselves.
