This is not a case of being addicted to gambling. There are people who are actually in control of their gambling habits or addiction. For instance, they do not gamble beyond their budget; they commit an hour or two to gambling per week or twice per week and strictly adhere to it, among all other things. We have heard and read stories here and out there about how gambling ruins lives, careers, relationships, throws people into debt and more.
As far as i have been into gambling i have tried my possible best to control my gambling addiction and without this forum only God knows how bad my gambling habits would have been. I try not to gamble more than i can afford and most importantly when I don’t trust the odds i avoid them and try not to put greed into my bettings.
But my question is, could this be happening to everybody? Has your responsible gambling habit had any positive effects on your relationships with your spouse, kids, parents, and others? Has it improved your finances and helped you stay out of debt? Has it improved your mental health and well being in anyway? Has it been able to help you meet an urgent need? Let's discuss.
Yes it has helped me positively, it has reduced the level at which i owe debts and i have been having proper use for my money and since i have instilled this in me i never have to bother about winning or losing a bet because i don’t put my gambling money into consideration since i use an amount i can afford to lose. Most times it pays alot when i least expect a win, i just see my casino balance pumped up. I wouldn’t say it has help me meet an urgent need but i have had a good positive experience keeping my gambling habits in check.
