The pleasure of gambling is only temporary, but the regret we get as a result of losing at gambling will be there. If we cannot control ourselves, the defeats will multiply and we will regret more. It will only make us deeper into gambling if we really lose self-control and will only destroy us at any time and we will only become addicted to gambling. We won't be able to enjoy gambling anymore if we become addicted to gambling because in our minds, we will only think about gambling.
We must remember that gambling is just entertainment that we do not need to use to get pleasure. We can do other things to avoid problems arising from gambling. Even though we know that gambling can make money, we should not pursue it because it will only get us into trouble. We have to decide that gambling is just an activity that can entertain and we have to be able to control ourselves while gambling and don't let ourselves become addicted to gambling.
But if we gamble well and have responsibility and self-control then it is clear that we will be able to have fun without regrets, just use money that we can afford to lose and never try to have excessive desires.
This will greatly influence what we get at the end of the game session, if gambling is with the intention and aim of making money and then there is excessive ambition then it is clear that there will always be money that cannot be accepted to be lost.
In the end we get the equivalent consequence of not being able to control ourselves and feeling like gambling every day is necessity, they will only get various complicated problems that make it difficult for themselves.
Obviously this will change everything and the changes can really be very significant and be shown to anyone because gambling addict will never care about other people unless it can help them in gambling.
You are right, we have to be aware of it and we need much better understanding of the approach and point of view towards gambling with the aim of minimizing bad things happening.
Only we ourselves can do it and it all starts from the awareness we have.
