True, it is a good plan of approach to gambling, one of the reasons is because gambling is a risk-taking activity where if you make the wrong decision such as when you are having personal problems that make your brain and mind not working properly then it is very likely for you to take aggressive actions and decisions. And also added in gambling a lot of things that look tempting that can tempt us unconsciously, which when it turns out at the end of the session we lose then it will be very possible for us to vent emotions, especially when our state of mind is not calm due to other problems that we experience.
On the other hand, it is also very possible for someone who gambles when their mood and mind are not calm to end up allocating an amount of money that they cannot afford, or an amount that exceeds their limits which can make them experience a worse situation and mood. So the bottom line is that there is nothing wrong with gambling as long as you can gamble at the right time and under the right circumstances, especially when your mood and mind are calm.
Absolutely right. But I would advise to look for other hobbies, or if someone have skills for something outside of gambling, then take up this case. Gambling is not the best hobby.
After all, for example, drawing or watching movies cannot cause severe addiction. I think the author has listed the right reasons for someone becoming addicted to gambling. But the reasons for gambling becoming a problem do not end at the above points.
In general, it is better to try to develop your skills given by nature and try to succeed in them. And anyone can always go back to gambling, it don't disappear anywhere.
Of course what you say is the best choice, in the sense that if there are other fun things that we can do then it is clearly better to choose that thing to accompany you when you are bored in your free time, on the other hand, although gambling can be used as an option, but it is an activity that is too risky to be the first choice, no matter if, for example, you say that you are a responsible gambler who is able to control and manage everything well, there is still the possibility of falling into this behavior. impulsivity is still possible.
This means that if there really is another option in your brain and mind to fill the boring free time, especially if that option does not contain or involve any risks other than time then yes of course that is the best, but I think however we cannot force them to follow any advice. what we give, even if for example it has a good purpose but in the end it depends on themselves, and there is also the possibility for them to say that we are someone who interferes too much with whatever they want to do.
