Everyone here is merely human, with feelings and impulses just like everyone else's. Because the pain of loss is magnified double compared to the pleasure of gain, loss aversion is innate. The battle isnt over after you put down your phone or computer; its happening in your head.

But here's an interesting idea to think about. Im wondering if you're familiar with the term "Emotional Intelligence." The key is learning to identify and control one's own feelings as well as those of others. Physical fitness may be improved, and so can mental fitness. Maintain a state of receptive awareness; meditate. Your responses to heartbreak will change as time goes on. Also helpful is keeping a trade journal. Keep a record of your accomplishments and failures alike. Never give up the battle, mate!

I've heard of "Emotional Intelligence," but I haven't studied it. Well, maybe I'm still in the stage of identifying and controlling my own feelings because the process will never stop as long as we are alive. Physical fitness can be achieved by exercising, and mental fitness can be achieved by being calm within us. And everything will be achieved at the same time when we can control ourselves well so that we won't feel too emotional when we get results from gambling.

And even though we have stopped gambling, there will surely be shadows of the previous games we played. And if our self-control is good, we will not be tempted to go back to gambling in the next few days. A gambler may not give up gambling, but what makes the difference is knowing when he is gambling and when he stops. That's a wise gambler.

Can one really be able to deal with such emotions after when you loss heavily?can you leave the casino hall and go to your house?its really difficult you know,but some persons still have that mind of forgetting it immediately and move on.Gambling addiction is something that has eaten into the lives of many,and they cannot come out of it,or will I call it greed,or the anxiousness in winning more that makes us not to go after winning,or loosing.It might be true that greed contributes to the reason why we don't go after winning because we want to win more and cover all the losses we've had for years,but it's never always possible to win just the way we think,the more you feel you gotten the tactics of winning,the more you experience loss.

Yes, it's very hard to forget the previous big defeat but whatever it is, we must keep trying. Otherwise, we will only make it difficult for ourselves because there will be an urge to return to gambling without stopping. We can only keep learning to control our thoughts so they don't invite us back to gambling, which is a process we must go through. Even though many people have failed to do so, that doesn't stop us from continuing to learn because that can help us get through difficult times in gambling, especially after losing. And if one wants to get out of gambling, one has to have the willpower to be able to say no even to oneself and go through the arduous process of not even thinking about gambling.
