Is it really possible to reach that stage?
The social circle we surround ourselves with is enough to control an addicted self, and I believe that's effective, provided that the habit of using a smartphone or staring at a PC monitor is limited.

I don't know how everyone spends their time outside of work. My busy schedule consists of gatherings, enjoying drinks, and casual conversation without a smartphone. Situations like that can help distract me from the habit of online gambling.

The phenomenon that actually occurs is different from what you want to explain - you will even find a group of people at the same table busy with their own smartphones without talking to each other, even if there is then it is a routine meeting discussing something urgent. In fact - over 90% of people are busy with their smartphones when they're at the same table. This phenomenon isn't unique to one country - but to almost every country.

Diverting your attention to reduce the intensity of gambling can be done in various ways, one of which is pursuing a hobby. You can exercise, play on PlayStation, go fishing, or anything you find that will distract you from gambling -I think this is more effective while enjoying the world.
