It’s great that you were able to overcome the trap of gambling addiction in the past and now sometimes play in such a way that you know in advance that you will never fall into this trap again. This truly allows you to treat gambling as a hobby that generally provides hours of entertainment and only takes up as much money as you can afford to lose without having any major impact on your regular life.
It's very disheartening you know, to see that the higher population of gamblers are caught in the loop of gambling addiction and the worst part of it is that many of them do not even realize it and this has been the major probpem that has not just affected their personal life but of those that are also around them. This is the reason why people should try as much as possible to avoid falling into gambling addiction, because a lot more easier to break through from it when you discover it early and put a stop to it, rather than allowing it to grow and become completely part of you.
Unfortunately, many players who are caught in this very loop of gambling addiction do not understand how this loop is tightening them even at a very early stage. They simply never think about such developments in their gaming history. By the way, even the fact that we are discussing this here may at least spark the thought in the minds of some players about whether this noose of addiction is personally tightening them? This, in my opinion, is exactly the first step towards overcoming such passion and becoming a truly experienced and careful player. Just the very thought of this is already a positive phenomenon in the life of a player and may well help him limit his participation in gambling.
