The reason I’m saying this is because I have someone close to me who was seriously addicted to gambling but when he got involved in something that kept him busy all the time, that’s how he was able to control himself from gamble gambling addicted. Once he got to his workplace, he would be there until night. And when he finished and got back home, he was always too tired to do anything else. He would just go to bed so he could wake up early the next day for work.Many people find it hard to control their gambling addiction because they always have too much free time to gamble.

A person can overcome a gambling addiction by engaging in other activities that shift their focus. That's what I learned from a friend, and he said it's common knowledge that you should redirect your energy from negative activities to positive ones. However, those who are already addicted to gambling will often even spend their time gambling. I also have a friend who, despite working, gambles during every break. When he gets home, he stops for a drink of soju and gambles. It seems that what makes someone addicted to gambling is their mindset. Your friend may realize the responsibility he has for his and his family's future, and he wants to stop gambling, which leads him to shift his focus to work.
