If someone has already accepted their gambling addiction and managed to stop gambling, it is synonymous with willpower.

But the paradox is that if you have the strength and conviction to stop gambling, anyone could come to the conclusion: "Why not just control it and that's it, without needing to quit gambling completely?".

Which brings us to this questions:

Is it harder to control gambling or limit it without falling into excess than to stop gambling forever?

Why is the effective strategy not moderation but absolute abstinence?

It's hard to control or limit your gambling activities because gambling is one thing that is tempting the more you gamble the more you become addicted to gambling so to move above gambling related problems stricter measures needs to be taken because you because limiting your gambling is not the solution to gambling addiction

Total abstinence is the best method because when you totally leaves a thing that thing has no power over you again because the more you expose yourself to a thing the more that thing eats deep into you
