Seriously gambling addiction is just self control, if you can’t control yourself then thats the beginning of the problem. If you are a gambler, always make sure you set a target for yourself, and make sure you work with your target, don’t go against it no matter how you are pushed to do that.

As a gambler, we are just suppose to be gambling for fun, and we are not suppose to be gambling for the sake of money, as long as you are having the mindset that you can make money from gambling, then that means you are already getting addicted to gambling, because you going to be chasing the money always, and you will find it difficult to stop gambling even when you are suppose to stop. If you are gambling just for fun, then you will be able to control yourself. It’s difficult to stop addiction just as you said, so the best thing is not to get addicted at the first place.
