Exactly. That's what I keep saying to those that care to know, stopping gambling is not by saying it out loud, it requires a strong conviction to absolutely stood by what said.
I have seen many at times that those that said they will stop gambling because of the terrible losses they had, within some weeks, they have forgotten all that, gambling like nothing happened to them
I had a friend like that. He kept telling not only me, but himself too, that he should quit playing at the casino after losing money again. It was even funny to hear him say that, since it was far from the first time he had said it. The funniest thing was that I would tease him about it, and he would get angry and a little desperate. And what happened? A few days would pass and he would start playing again. Even more than before, because of the desire to win back. And the result, as always, was the same.
A person needs strong willpower to stop gambling. A person should be aware of the bad effects of gambling and he should talk about it with his closest friends. There are people who stop gambling after losing everything. He stops gambling after losing his career, his family, and his future. That makes everything too late. A person should stop gambling as early as possible. And it is important to ask for help from those closest to him. Yes, relatives, siblings, or family. A friend of mine who has successfully stopped gambling said that there were times when the urge to gamble appeared so strong in him because he had not played for several weeks. However, he was helped by his family by diverting himself to other activities. He often exercised or enjoyed a night out playing with his family. Because according to him it would be dangerous if the urge to gamble recurred and you had no one to help you.
