Self examination is very important. It has been easy to immerse yourself wit gambling without realizing when it becomes problematic or addictive. We should regularly ask ourselves, how much time and money did I spend? am I having negative consequences?, do I feel in control? with these questions you can gain a clearer understanding about your habits whether there are red flags or warning signs of addiction. It's important to have self awareness to ensure that gambling remains as a form of entertainment rather than source of harm.
