For me these days, I have found myself more often than not, giving space in between my gambling activities. I normally do so after much recorded losses and that has been my ordeal lately.
I prefer online gambling, since the cost I would incur just to take myself to the gambling house will be much in addition to refreshments and as well, the game too.
I don't want to get be so addicted for now because it would be easier for me and it will become a necessity I must fund and that's why I keep track and prefer to instead trade with the funds or better still help a friend place a bet or make a prediction.
It's good that you aware if you're spend too much time for gambling, so you can reduce it from now on. Unfortunately not many gamblers can be like you who aware and realize that they spend too much time for gambling.
You probably need to find a new hobby or use that time to take a nap, so will not really feel if you have a lot free time, that would make you to spend it for gambling.
Having awareness in gambling is important because we can check how far our gambling activity and needs to control ourselves from the addictions. If we thinks that our gambling activity is higher than usual, we can try to reduce that to avoids the minds telling to comes to the gambling. Playing gambling on online casino will needs more awareness and self control because with the easiness that the online casino gives to us can makes us forget doing the other activities.
That can caused us staying in the online casino for a long time before we realizes that we already lose much money. After we lose much money, we will regrets and thinks that what we did is stupid. Tracking our gambling activity is one thing that we can do so we can see how much money we already used in gambling and we can stops our gambling activity if we thinks that we playing gambling for a long time from usual.
