Call yourself to order whenever you're gambling and having nothing to tell concerning your experience in what you do, have a time to run a check on the kind of gambling lifestyle you've had in couple of times, access yourself on a grade level to see if you're proud about what you're doing or not, also check if there's need for an improvement to be implemented, consider the benefits it has served you in many ways and that which you may have lost at the same cause and weigh them all together, if you think you're going too far already, then try to apply wisdom and gamble moderately.
Yes, gambling is not an isolated activity in life, it is part of your habits and life and should be integrated into your lifestyle, the people you are with and you job or occupation if you have any. This context can be a help in putting gambling into perspective and use it properly and only while it is fun. Just remember, see around you and will get a better hold on your behavious.
If you put that into perspective, then it won't be that hard to find ways on how you can manage it the right way. Most of the time, those who got addicted take things as the only option that they've got. I guess if they can treat it as like a normal habit which they can with good control, they will not suffer from any heavy addictions.
Though we can't generalize as there are still people who can go deep even they have other things that needed to do in life, that addiction is too deep where they can't do anything to help and already needed to have someone to boost their self-will to fix the issue.
