It is true that we as good human beings also need some fun, but sometimes it is difficult because many do not know healthy fun and that includes being able to control emotions and performing many functions, including putting everything on a scale, not go crazy, and control impulses above all, when we play we have many impulses and that is what leads us to make bad decisions.

If we had the coldness of a robot to manage our own emotions, we would be very advanced beings and with many things that we can achieve, but it is difficult, very difficult to control emotions, and even though it is something we can do ourselves, we get into our minds that we are invincible when we play and that is when we lose the most money.

Yeah, but sadly we aren't robots capable of controlling our emotions. I believe it's quite hard for a human being to achieve complete control over their emotions. Quitting gambling can be an extremely difficult decision for someone who has been gambling for years, but it may not be as hard for someone who only gambles casually and in moderation. To be honest, I don't plan to give up gambling because it brings me joy and I genuinely enjoy doing it with my friends from time to time. It never negatively affects me because I know how to control myself and rarely exceed my limits. Even when I do, I don't regret it.

When we experience loss we'll decide not to gamble anymore, soon after that our mind will think why don't we just wager a little. We'll experience little win and increase the capital. Now we start to gamble regularly and at some point we don't have control and want to make specific amount out of gambling. We run behind the target and in between we won't be able to achieve it. Our mind doesn't accept it and we will be with positive thoughts and borrow to gamble. Now the risk is big and this continues, so when you prefer to stop gambling you should not think of it anymore.

Exactly, when you keep thinking about gambling it turns out to be you are somehow addicted to the casino games. Logically, as an addicted gambler you gonna deposit and play more while there are other important things in life to do. Quitting gambling is not easy for an addicted person, there are many variables gamblers should take into consideration before deciding to quit it completely but as you explained once you decide to do so better not to rethink gambling and its consequences, IMO. Just decide what you wanna do and follow this path with help from a professional psychologist.

On the time that you do see yourself that you are on almost addiction then it would really be just that wise that you should be distracting yourself on engaging on things which it would divert out your interest on gambling.
You could actually do it if you are really that meant on doing so.It is really just that a matter of self discipline and control towards self. Addiction wont really be that possible or could hit you up if you are really
that sensible on what are the things that are currently happening into you.The most common mistake for most people is that they do tolerate out that kind of eagerness on playing gambling without minding
about the probabilities on getting addicted. Majority of people would only stop on the time that they would really be experiencing unfortunate events which it is really supposed to be avoided
it earlier if we are really just that mindful about on whats happening around. Hard to quit? It would really be just depending on you because not all would really be that good when it comes to make up decisions
even if they wanted to.
