Or simply thinking gambling when you first wake up and wanted to play and recover because last night it was just losing streak for you. Experience that thing before, and as soon as I wake up I wanted to play right away online. But when I go back and think about it, it's wrong mindset to begin with. But as you have said, it's hard to control oneself when you are addicted.
This is the old me that will always have a running bet at all time. If I play early morning games, irrespective of win or loss, I'm playing the game after the bet is settled and the next after that, continuously until I loose everything. Yes until I loose everything before I will get myself. Even if I win and withdraw, I will immediately fund the account whenever I loose what I have in my gambling platform. So, the only thing that stops me is loosing everything and not having anything to fund the account at the moment. Gambling addiction can be a thorn in someone's flesh.
But I was able to snap and no longer the way I played. Of course sometimes I have to scratch my itch to play, but I have set certain limits now and my budget. And if I ever lost, I never chase and just enjoy the game.
I have also made huge improvements in my gambling habits. I no longer feel this urge to play every now and then and I control my staking amount in such a way that it will not affect my finances that much. Lastly, I also play with realistic expectations, understanding that gambling is a game of probability.
