Gambling has turned out to be a big problem for me. For this reason, slowly I've come out of it. I used to enjoy gambling with the campaign payments. Once I was able to make $600 out of $50, which was a big thing that happened in my gambling activities. Soon after that, I had the same mindset and kept gambling for a long time. The luck that favoured me didn't work. I started to lose more and more, particularly the campaign payments. This is where I took the decision and kept myself under control. In the past I used to gamble at least once a day.

That is actually great, that you know yourself and are able to see gambling as an issue you have to combat.

Most people just continue through this rabbit hole and end up completely out of money.

It takes some time to get back to normal but it is worth it, of course.

True, not everyone can really do such an evaluation and change themselves for the better, because most of them, especially gamblers who are obsessed with winning, will usually be trapped for a long time in a slump, the reason is usually because they do not accept the fact that lately they often lose and they continue to try to find their luck with more aggressive methods.

As you said and our opinions are not much different in this case, basically like the saying that experience is the best teacher and that's how it should be, although I'm sure that in the end they will reach their awareness when experience and reality slap them but what's unfortunate is that they often take too long to realize their mistakes. In conclusion, this is the reason why awareness and caution must continue to be maintained because that way you will be able to identify the signs that will lead you to get trapped further.
