Some people earn honest money and occasionally gamble for playful fun, while many others face a lifetime of misery by being chained to their addiction. If you ever want to change, the key lies in your mind. Learn a bit about dopamine* addiction, there are some great sources and answers on youtube.
*"Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and hormone produced in the brain that plays a key role in sending messages between nerve cells. It is involved in various functions, including mood regulation, motivation, pleasure, and movement control."
Question: Are there some "non-addicted" players here who have suggestions to help others be more controlled?
Do you want to be free of gambling forever? Start TODAY before more months and years pass by.
I don't think a non addicted gambler has any reason to completey be free from gambling. If we say we gamble for fun and stick to that very simple rule and avoid think about gambling as a means to make money, then we might be able to avoid so many health complications that comes along with gambling. A non addicted gambler is able to control his gambling habits, stay reserved and have a proper risk management plan. Some one who has failed to follow these simple rules will surely end up being addicted.
This is easy to say but much harder to follow, a gambler first time initially wants to gamble just for fun, but when they get small wins, their desire for bigger wins increases. Although they start gambling for fun, it becomes a means of earning money over time for him.
Gradually, their desire to win increases, and at some point, their main purpose for gambling is to make money. Gambling for pure entertainment is not easy, because every person needs money, and when someone starts winning through gambling in the first place, they become attached to it, their desire to win increases and at that point they become addicted.
However, if a gambler can maturely confine the purpose of gambling to entertainment only, and maintain certain limits well, then he will never move towards such an addiction.
