I have my own thing to check is that if I can stay away for a week and not login to the gambling sites means I am doing well. As well since I do not just run or play to only make money and more to just have more fun and make few friends worldwide and know them etc just helps so that you are not really addicted or cannot stay away from it. If I decide today for next week I would not be login and can manage to do that means nothing to worry for me.
This is another height of strong decipline. Having a strong control over your actions is a way of keeping your self in check and noticing if you are getting addicted or not. Staying a week without gambling a your own will is really a good checkmate for how much control you have over your passion and this if applied to other areas of life will give you a good life result.If you aren't an addicted one, can you stop gambling for a week. If you did then you aren't.
I don't think that many gamblers whether they are addicted or not can do it. One week without gambling especially if gambling is already their hobby would be hard for them to do and I understand them since its their own self and own life. We've seen many effects of gambling addiction and many gamblers who got addicted didn't ended up good. Some are still rehabilitating until now, some are still gambling out there, some became crazy and worst some even committed suicide. Don't let yourself get addicted into gambling
. Being addicted into gambling will not give you any benefits at all.
