Gambling is risky and can drain our bank accounts; I often felt remorse for my takes action, but it was only temporary, and the next day, I returned to gambling, and this time, I used everything at my disposal, disregarding the repercussions. That is completely one of the characteristics of an addict, ready to place anything valuable to raise money for gambling, but that was my previous life, and I'm a changed guy with good examples. I bet frequently, and I'm able to regulate the amount of my gambling rate; I gamble twice on weekends, and only on games that I'm confident about; if it goes according to my predictions, I enjoy; if it goes against my predictions, I lose; in any case, I liked.
It's not bad to gamble but gambling above your budget is. We should know how much we can afford to lose and only gamble within our limits.
It's always good to acknowledge your mistake and do the right thing. While you knew you were spending more on gambling you still took control started saving.
Not everyone has the capability to do that. Make sure you stick to it and never fall for the money making through gambling trap again.
I agree with you, and I must say that gambling above one's budget is the riskiest thing and one should avoid it at any cost. The ones who get addicted to gambling will gamble without any limits and they lose almost everything with such a low-level habit. One should also be careful to not gamble when his/her mind is in a bad state because in those times people often want to have gratification in the form of winning and unfortunately they forget about the limits. It's always better and secure to gamble only when you are in good modes and your mind is in a happy state, and also to stick to the limits in order to not lose everything in a sitting.
