Stopping is not the problem. Everyone has stopped many times. The real problem is that we cannot stay stopped.

We have a mind which deprives us of the ability to manage a decision to never take another gamble even after we have firmly made that vital decision.  A mind that produces the insidious insanity that causes us to gamble against our own will.

We does not have sufficient willpower to manage the decision to stay stopped; that produces the “insanity” that leads to the first gamble. Lacking willpower to manage a decision to not take the first gamble.
