First i put an amount limit for my gambling habbit after a first and second level of my limit i will stop and try it again nextime that means im not luck to that day.
We have the same concept in controlling our self on gambling , That is the way I control myself / to stop my self on playing gambling if I know that I dont have luck on that day. Maybe If everybody gamble like this , the ruined gamblers life can be lessen.
Good for the both of you, you know how to control yourself. I stop gambling when I found myself that im getting addicted on it like I forgot to do some things that I need to finish. Yes it was not good because it still hard for me to control myself. Honestly right now I stop gambling and focus more on different things here like joining in bounty campaigns.
In fact, I would say, good for you more than even the both of them. I must tell you that anyone who realized what you did and was able to get out of it quickly should be applauded as that is not an easy thing to do as far as I do concern what I have done with my gambling so far.
One mistake people have made is to look for something positive from gambling and forgetting that it is all about luck and they find it hard to get out of that thought until they have ended up losing everything and even turned totally to an addict to even borrow to gamble, and that is how they end up messed up entirely.
