That's good if the person is really aiming to prevent any involvement or any thing that relates into gambling he should have this control inside him, it's not an easy task which not everyone can easily practice but with the kind of determination it's not impossible to work it out inside you, just focus and think of it as an everyday challenge to you.

Coping up and trying to move yourself away from gambling needed that complete focus, every thing is count for the betterment of yourself.

That's right, we ourselves become the enemy when we want to stop addiction. Whatever type of addiction it is, smoking, gambling and so on. Without self-will, control is very difficult. I've experienced that. When I was very active in gambling, it felt like every day I wanted to play, no matter how much deposit I made, at least I had to play. However, because I was made aware by members of this forum, I started to control myself not to force myself to gamble every day. Once again he reminded me, don't focus on winning, because focusing on winning will make us even more eager to keep depositing when we lose. These words, coupled with personal decision to control my self from gamble, made me successful in not gambling for quite a long time, last few weeks i play a gambling, but I always limit from initial deposit no more $20, except i get a big win, sometimes I'm back with more bigger, as far as i already made a withdrawal more than i deposited both initial and additional, if no withdrawal i will stop till next week. In essence, ourselves is the key.

Good thing that you manage to control after suffering from that bad start, it's important to have that will to drive yourself and to make sure that you will be able to adjust, if you can limit yourself and you can follow whatever the setup it will develop good attitude and will allow you to make sure that you are in control of your gambling habit.

Which will allow you to enjoy while playing, and if by luck you'll be able to take some decent amount of money but will be able to manage to minimize potential losses as well.

Yeah, you are very right, as long as gambling is concerned, self control is one paramount features we all must have as individuals, self control plays the important role of making sure that we at all times puts ourselves in full check to avoid ourselves from over gambling, which to me is the corner stone when it comes to things like gambling addictions, losses we can't bare and so on.

So, to every gambler, self control is very important, I could remember in the year 2022 when I made one of my highest mistake in gambling, lost amount of money I could not afford to lose, I completely stayed away from gambling for more than 11 months, that is almost a year, and while I was always participating in gambling discussion here, what helped me to not gamble for that long period of time was self control, as without it, I would gone back into gambling in less than 2 months after that loss, and this is because, being here all the time, I kept seeing things that triggered my urge to want to put up some bets, but I was always able to overcome that urge by self control.
