The less time we spend on gambling, the less the chance of getting addicted as well. It is something that needs a lot more effort and self-control than anything else. As we wanted to escape from addiction or avoid it, we better not try falling deep into it because it was difficult to stop addiction. The future of our gambling journey lies in our hands. That is why, as much as possible, we start gambling by being responsible, not just after committing huge mistakes and losses.
If we try to escape from addiction, the best thing to do is to avoid gambling totally. Once the sign is being notified, we should avoid gambling rather than try to control it because we might not be too careful with whatever control strategy we are going to try to use. Since the sign is already there, any little thing can lead one deep into the addiction stage, which will become harder to stop once that stage is reached.
