Good point, and I believe that even how big the problem was there's always a good solution if you are really aiming to resolve it, and similar with gambling addiction, if you do want to remove that problem inside you, it's your self-will that matter the most, helping yourself in terms of dedicating your focus in finding the rigth resolution and keep that practice to about messing back when you managed to stop and forget about retrying again.

Yes, it all depends on the pressure we exert on ourselves, such as our thinking. If we're aware of our mistakes and have the intention to change, no matter how difficult it is, we'll make the effort. I've experienced this myself, and I've recovered on my own without any help from others. This has taught me a valuable and important life lesson: no matter how big a problem, it can be solved.

It would be great if you weren't gambling anymore but in the end it seems like it would be a little difficult for us to eliminate gambling activities even though we may still be able to minimize in terms of intensity but to stop directly is quite difficult.

But if we are able to get out of that zone then indeed I think we should appreciate ourselves because we are able to do it but maybe this is not something I will do for now.
Not that I can't because maybe if there is a strong will and determination I and other gamblers might still be able to do it but there are some moments where we gamble not unable to stop but don't want to stop and I still don't want to stop gambling for now.
