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.
A gambler's life is divided into two periods, when he is not addicted and therefore can but does not want to quit gambling, and when he is addicted to gambling and cannot quit on his own. The problem is that a gambling addict believes that he is not addicted and can quit gambling at any time.
