Exactly, that's what learning from experience means, you did it right buddy, you really managed to prioritize your rational attitude so that you no longer fall into the wrong path. On the other hand what you said is quite true that advice alone will not be enough to overcome addiction problems and it has been proven, meaning getting out of a terrible phase in gambling like addiction is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, but you can really help yourself to get out of a much worse situation because you managed to learn from experience, and maybe I'll just tell you to keep being careful even though you are basically aware of the mistakes you have made before, none other than because gambling is full of things that look tempting that can indirectly make you get caught back on the wrong path.
It is true that we do not know the future. Because human attitudes can change with something. I hope that with a strong reason because I have experienced destruction, I will stand firmly and not return to repeated disappointments. The older I get, the more reasons I have for my mental life to always be healthy. Enough with the allocation of betting money that is ready to be lost and does not burden the mind
Yes, that's what I'm worried about, in the sense that it's always possible for a gambler to eventually get caught up in the cycle of addiction considering that gambling is full of things that seem very tempting at first glance. On the other hand, I'm the same as you, my friend, I'm also a gambler who used to experience addiction and depression due to excessive gambling activities, so I'll share a few ways with you so that you don't fall into the same hole again, namely by always maintaining our level of awareness regarding various unwanted things and always trying not to be tempted by anything that looks tempting when we gamble, and the point is, yes, we must try to keep playing safely, in the sense that as you said, betting with an amount of money that is really ready to be lost.
in my environment there are many examples of people destroyed because of the excessive effects of gambling. suddenly blind to more important things such as family and daily needs. I just try not to want to be part of the repeated destruction. seeing the condition of my neighbors makes me concerned about the situation that was previously sufficient from the business, income has decreased drastically to minus. really difficult to return to the beginning, I can only help my neighbors with the motivation of the future is more important.
