Sometimes people who think they avoid it, fail to do so. What's important in a moment like that is not give up. No one should think, oh, I'm addicted gambler now, I can do nothing about it. You can, you always can. You can try to get rid of it by yourself, but if it's impossible, you can seek professional help. It works.
Yes, don't give up and keep doing it even though we know it's hard because that's the only thing we have to do to avoid excessive gambling and gambling addiction problems. However, many people have difficulty continuing to do it and cannot keep doing it. Hence, it makes them lose control of themselves and eventually become addicted to gambling. And if they are already addicted to gambling, they can still cure it by placing very strict restrictions on themselves so that they can avoid gambling and not even depend on gambling. And it is still recommended to ask for professional help to undergo the healing process.
