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.
True and I think we have all seen people who have experienced such a downturn, whether it is people in our own environment or people we know through the news broadcasted on television and actually it should be an example or valuable lesson for us, because surely no one will ever want to experience such a downturn in their life, so we don't need to be victims first to be able to know and understand everything but learn from the downturn experienced by others.
Therefore, I also often say and suggest to people, especially some friends in my environment, to first respond to or respond to everything they have just found with a rational perspective and way of thinking, in the sense of seeing everything from all sides and not just making an assessment from one side such as from the side of the chance of winning when we talk about gambling, because it is a fact that if from the start you misunderstand what and how the activity you find is actually then of course in the end it is likely that you will be controlled by the activity.
