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.

If he is still aware that he may gamble too much, it means he isn't addicted. He actually still plays in an healthy way, he knows when he gamble excessively. As long as he still realizes that he gambles too much, he will stop it temporarily when he realizes it. Sure, there are many people who aren't aware of gambling excessively. They even never understand how much money ideally to spend in gambling. These type of gamblers who probably end up with addiction case.

Usually it like that, but there are many who don't, just imagine that now there are many gamblers who realize that they have gone too far in gambling and can be said to be not an addict because they still have awareness of the activities carried in gambling.
But the problem is that even though he has this awareness, when in certain conditions, such as experiencing series of defeats that require him to lose larger amount of money, he doesn't accept it.
He is not an addict, but because of his emotions and feelings of being unable to accept losses, his gambling activities increase to recover all his losses.
Obviously this is the wrong attitude and is really very detrimental, but all this happens not to an addict but to gambler who still has awareness and has the opportunity to be addicted.

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.

Of course, we don't only play gambling. There should be time for taking a rest and do many activities in real life. If we only focus on gambling all a day, it can be categorized addiction. If someone experience this, it is better to stop their bad gambling habit. Evaluate and get the way to minimize the time for gambling.

Sometimes gambling addiction is not only related to how much intensity of gambling they do every day but can also be seen from their attitude and also how they manage their life and finances when gambling.
If gambling addict can look at the past or series of history of gambling results that have been carried out so far, perhaps they will realize that they are addicted and this has really caused them to experience big losses.
Usually things like this make gambling addict mindset more open to trying to reduce the intensity of their gambling.
