If you lose small amount then the chance that you can still control your emotion is very possible unlike if you using huge amount which most of the time carried your emotions, when you lose you get aggreviated and you wanted to recover quickly, meaning that you'll add more money and probably the outcome still against you.
Better to stop and make sure to analyze, re-assess if possible and take some air chill yourself that helps to refresh your intention and avoid losing more.
Yes, that is why it is better if we gamble using small amount to prevent the increases of our emotion. When we become emotion, we may forget to our limitation and at that time, we can use more money to recover our losses. Losing big money in gambling must be avoid so we can also prevent the bad thing that can happen to us.
Stopping for playing gambling after huge loss will be necessary as that can make us realize that we already used too much money. With stop gambling, we can check our financial and leave the casino is the best advice to us.
As one of the therapists (perhaps the leading one
), I can assure you there is nothing wrong with taking therapy. Anyone can get triggered by anything (like the nature of posts posted here).
On a serious note, I do think these types of discussions enable you to understand yourself more which eventually leads to making better decisions. Nothing wrong with taking therapy but that will work if addicted person to gambling accept and starts the process. With a help from his families, he will realize that he will not alone solving his gambling addiction. That can make him know that he can cure his addiction and have a second chance for his families.
