1. Only set aside an amount of money that you will use to gamble in a casino.
2. Don't think that you will gamble to make money, because if you do that, you will surely have a problem later.
3. Just spend a few hours staying in a casino to gamble so you can avoid what you don't realize is wasting time that you should be spending on important things instead of gambling.
While seeking medical help is a good option there are many gamblers which can leave their gambling issues behind without too much of a problem as their issues were just starting out, the ones that cannot deal with their gambling problems on their own are the ones which have been in that state for a long period of time or those which are losing a massive amount of money, and even then this is not the end of their issues, as even if they improve, now they will have to resist the temptation to gamble again every single time they watch a new gambling ad.
