Well, there are lots of activities that can trigger dopamine release: listening to your favourite band, making love, shopping, smelling cookies baking in the oven even. So, you basically switch to one of those, and you are fine. That's what I do, anyway.

I agree, that is why I divert myself to other dopamine-producing activities such as playing games when I feel that I am too hooked on my gambling activities.

Yeah, games. Great example. I forgot about it because I myself don't play video games, maybe because no dopamine release is triggered when I play, but, of course, for people who enjoy it, that would be a good substitution.

Usually I don't really believe anytime or something I do read up on internet which do tell something which is out or doesn't have sense nor correlating or being realistic.15 months is too long yet addiction to gambling could even happen immediately. Cheesy

Idk, maybe they are talking about some severe addiction, and for that kind of addiction to develop it takes 15 months, but from my experience 3-4 weeks is enough for finding yourself in a situation when you start thinking, "Am I addicted?"

Addiction could neither be mild to severe and it do really depends on how many weeks or months you would really be having those own questions in mind that if you are addicted.Its really impossible that you wont really be

having those kind of questions in regarding with your actions which its impossible that you would simply be ignoring if ever you do find out that you are doing too much and not really that good already into your finances.

Addiction could be molded out easily when you do really have that kind of intent in mind on how to make quick bucks without putting much effort on it.
