The last one.

It's like when I am already winning and I think that I can win some more so I play and look for more other games to bet with. It's hard to control that moment when you're winning.

I think that's even harder when you're on that part than when you're losing because that's the drive for you to stop. Unlike when you're winning, you just can't stop because you're thinking more positive.

I also feel that when I win, I have tried not to care about it many times. Unfortunately, I still have to practice a lot to control myself when I win so I won't be tempted to continue other gambling games. And that also happened when I lost because, with that defeat, I was prompted to continue gambling to recover the loss.

So, whatever situation we get, winning or losing, we might be tempted to continue gambling because that is a normal thing that can happen to every gambler. And that's why we have to be able to control ourselves and only learning can help us avoid the desire to continue gambling.

Among the many interviews I have watched with gamblers who have recovered from addiction, there is a common feature - they say that the danger of starting to play again remains with them for life. It's like a stigma that always stays with you, and you can't get rid of it - you feel that you have to control yourself, and you need to avoid all kinds of gambling. In no case can you even play on a demo account, this is one of the rules of self-control. It is believed that a demo account is one step towards starting to play for real money again. Of course, it is much easier to control yourself if there are native people nearby.

Having people that surrounds you to give you some warning and reminders will certainly help you out. It's like whenever you're itching and starts to crave to gamble, they are there to stop you.

But not at all times that they will be there and you still need to get on your own feet to avoid. It's hard to get rid of it but you have to overcome it not just with will power but also with acts.

As in do everything you can to avoid if you want to get rid of the addiction that's making you lose control of yourself and money.
