If you avoid them, gambling will still come to you. The internet marketers will push ads, popular posts, and videos to your social media feed. One thing I hate about that is even sports pages are now sponsored by different bookies.

All addicted gamblers stop gambling. But most stop the day they die. Or are simply to sick to bet.

There are 12 step programs and I know a lot of 12 step people for gambling as my family is filled with compulsive gambling.  I would say 1 in 10 or 1 in 15 that attend 12 step to stop gambling actually stop the others do not.

A gambler who is addicted to gambling can never quit gambling, even if he loses all his money, he cannot quit gambling and whenever he gets money, he starts gambling again. I have never seen an addicted gambler quit gambling completely.

Gambling site's ads are everywhere online now that many people can't quit gambling even if they try, because gambling site marketers continue to target gamblers with ads that make it very difficult for an addicted gambler to avoid.

An addicted gambler can quit gambling if he determines to quit. There is nothing that we cannot quit no matter how addicted that one is to it. What the gambler needs to do is to go on a long break and see gambling as a way that leads to frustration and can ruin his life to make him useless. Gamblers that cannot quit from adduction, are those that are seeing it as a means to their fortune, or a means to turn their lives around. Those set of gamblers will die in addiction, because they will keep chasing their losses. The last type of addicted gamblers is those that get addicted unknown to them that they are addicted, because they spend more time gambling thinking that it is a way to pass time, but if they can realize that they are addicts, they can likewise quit.

Remember delay is not denial. Linking this to addiction, it can be difficult and time-consuming for an addict to live a normal life but it is possible as long as the addict has admitted his addiction. This is important because to solve a problem means you must first identify the problem. So, it is only when an addict accepts that he is ready to change that he can be open to solutions/therapy. Saying outrightly that an addict can never quit gambling can be misleading and discouraging. From another angle, an addict might not stop gambling totally but might stop compulsive gambling. I used to be addicted but now I have control over my gambling.

But quitting problem gambling or addition is till possible,by associating yourself with people who are superior to you or people you are accountable to, keep off from any website linking to betting, keep off from environment were you can fine gambler's,and replace gambling with better activities in your life.

I agree with your prescription. Surrounding yourself with supportive and positive influences can provide motivation and encouragement as you have noted. To add to it, it is imperative to consider seeking help from a therapist. Always remember that recovery is a journey, and progress may not always be immediate, but with dedication and perseverance, positive change is achievable.

The most important thing in reducing gambling addiction is self-realisation. Many of us try to stay away from gambling and we need to stay away from the internet. In fact, in this era, is it possible to stay away from the Internet? Even if only social media is used without gambling, there may be various types of gambling advertisements that can influence the gambler in any way. But if a gambler does not envision gambling as a means of earning money, then he is definitely not addicted to gambling. But it will be difficult to stay away from gambling with any having restrictions.

What I think about this is that a player, if he has enough will to stop playing, can do it quickly without thinking about it so much, because there are people who have a lot of determination, generally they are people who have a very strong temperament and will make things happen. things are necessary to do so that they do not have to waste more time, or spend time on things that they do not want, there are people who have so much determination that they are like that, but there are others who need a lot of psychologists, a lot of help, psychiatrists, things like that so that they can Overcome it, it all depends on the type of person, what their personality is, how determined the person is to get things done.

So if the person meets that type of condition, I think they can end the addiction quickly, otherwise, and as is the case with the majority of people, they do need medical attention and depending on the degree of the possible addiction.

Nothing on this earth is so difficult to stop if one determines to quit it. We have one way or the other gotten ourselves addicted to something before and we still find a way to quit it.

Saying a gambler can never quit gambling is not true because many have quit gambling and they refused to go into it again because they were all determined to do that. 

When one is determined to quit a habit, it doesn't appear impossible for that habit to be stopped. And that's what most gamblers find it hard to develop ''a determination character''. They find gambling to be their source of income, which they can't do without.

Yeah exactly, not to mention offline gambling establishments that is also an alternative because I know when we say "gambling addict" they won't stop finding ways to satisfy their urges in gambling. Since we all know these kind of gamblers are into social media and television, they will still see ads and from that I think they are still be able to be tempted with not unless they don't have money anymore and he or she has no one to ask for or borrow the money an addict will be using.

Nothing is impossible, but any addiction is very difficult to quit, and gambling addiction is very difficult to quit. I come in contact with many gamblers most of whom are addicted to gambling, they have tried their best to quit this addiction but they have not succeeded whenever they get money they start gambling again. Yes determination is very important here If a gambler is determined to get out of gambling addiction it is possible, but it will require strong will power. I am not discouraging anyone, but writing what I have seen from my experience. It will definitely be a good news if someone gets rid of this addiction and gets back to a normal life.

It is really hard to say or hard to get out from the addiction for  any kind of addicted person. And it is also hard to say what if any gambling addicted person how or when the possibility to his quite from gambling. Actually addiction is never good things in any case of addiction. And I also think that if the gambler do gambling with his afford to lose even he his in addiction it not gonna harm that much harm .

There's always hope there's always a point that the gambler will realize that he needs help to overcome his addiction, he just needs people who will believe in him and will guide him that its possible to overcome addiction.
Overcoming addiction is something that just doesn't happen overnight it's a slow and tedious process and they need a guide coming from professionals who will lay out a plan of recovery, it will cost time and money but if done correctly addiction can be overcome.

[Litzki1990]

Not only gambling If a normal person gets addicted to something then it is difficult to get out of that addiction. Many people get addicted to drugs in their teenage years and never get out of that addiction even though their families put them in various drug addiction treatment centers to get out of that addiction. A person who is addicted to gambling during adolescence never realizes that he is addicted to gambling and he only thinks that he has to gamble anyway. But at a stage of age when the gambler thinks that what he has done is wrong and till now he is doing these mistakes and at that time if he wants to get out of gambling addiction then he can definitely get out of that addiction.
