I heard about gambling therapy and it prick my mind to which I asked myself when last did I go for gambling therapy? I could recall and that's because I have never had one since I believe am gambling responsibly.

What's gambling therapy?

Gambling Therapy is a free, global online service offering practical advice and emotional support to anyone affected by problem gambling link

Yeah, you read that correctly , it says people affected by gambling problem. But after reading I took an opposing view about it because gambling therapy shouldn't be something simply painted exclusively for people with gambling addiction problems alone. In as much as you're a gambler, whether a gambler that has his gambling habit under control, going for a gambling therapy should be a habit we should acculturate ourselves with, at least twice a year (ones in every 6months).

We go for monthly or quarterly health routine checkups not only because we're sick but to reduce any risk of getting sick before knowing. Right? same behavior can be applied to gambling , do you agree or it's not necessary until you start getting a gambling problem .

If you said people should go on a routine checkups, in my perspective, this should basically be for people that needs it and who knows that they're gambling out of control , near addiction or gamble addicts, it isn't necessarily for someone who keeps him/her self on check while gambling.

Alright, it's quite great to have a self-checking awareness as you go on with your gambling you're better of than the next guy who don't, but there is a likelihood you can be bias about how you may view your gambling habit to be on the right path, whereas other people's view about changes that are taking effect on your gambling habit differs. Am saying this as someone that have had the opportunity of talking to a few gamblers I know about not so good habits I observed about them but some claim to find nothing wrong with it. To these persons it's nothing to be worried about not until it all gets out of control.
