Let's start with the simple choice: Do you consider yourself to have a gambling problem affecting your happiness, security, relationships, finances, etc? (Yes or No)
Now, here is something a bit different: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? Either you make enough income to call it "adult play", so you do not have real problems, and/or you simply stop for a long time. Then - months or years later - it gets worse again and you are in trouble.
(First question was above)
(Second question) Either way, when it's time to stop, how exactly do you do it? (For example) Change other habits, go new places, exercise more, stop drinking, simply "swear off" gambling... How exactly do you stop? Thank you.
before when I was have a Little bit love in gambling then it will affect my finance and also the relationship between me and my wife cause Before everyweek I gamble 4 times or even 5 times and that's the reason why my money won't long last. But i won't regret it cause I know it's a good experience in mylife I say it good cause I'll over come myself and get out of those world. Anyway I am in gambling nowadays but I can control myself and maybe once week or worst twice a month if I am too busy.
That makes you sensible and responsible, and I give you the kudos for the ability to be able to change a new leaf despite not being advised by anyone, at least you never mentioned that, not even your wife's help in achieving that. But you saw the need for a better change and you go for it, that makes a good gambler. Gambling is not a do-or-die affair and as a matter of fact, it is never a must, you do your bit and leave the rest, and you can come back another time if you have the time to continue to try your luck at the same time, and it goes on like that. But most importantly, if you are such who knows that you gamble too much and you waste money too much, it is best that you limit it. It can't be wise for you to continue to gamble and waste money. You may limit it by gambling with a lower amount if you know you would like to gamble many times in a short space of time, or you limit the number of times you are gambling all the same. These are important to keep us in check and financial health so that gambling will not bring the worst out of us if care is not taken.
Imagine, it had caused issues between you and your wife, that is the worst side I do not always like to read from any gambler, but this one actually has a happy ending. Good luck!
Gambling requires mental skill, not luck. You've exhibited self-control few have. That's mastering the game, not just playing. Your best bet in this world of chance and danger is yourself. Many can't change without outside help, but you can. Not the cards you're dealt, but how you play them. You have a winning hand, friend
Healthy gaming is a guideline, not an oxymoron. Know when to say 'enough,' and realize the true gamble is with yourself, not your wallet. It's acknowledging that every wager has a cost, sometimes non-monetary. This is your life story, not just gambling. You overcame a challenge and changed your perspective. That's the lesson. Playing and betting frequently aren't important. Knowing that keeping your life, relationships, and sanity intact is the biggest win
