In any case, you should always try to resist addictions, even if they are not only related to gambling. Almost everyone understands this, but they do nothing about it. For example, I realized that doing sports helps me fight and be more disciplined, and I do not make excuses for myself, because a clear schedule is also important. I will never believe that a person will not find an interesting activity for himself, it can be tennis or even chess. It distracts us, allows us to look at things in life and gambling from a different angle. I am not going to stop completely, but I have made it so that gambling takes up a very small part of my life and does not affect my wallet. I am just interested in watching matches and making bets, analyzing them and controlling the risks.

In my opinion, to resist temptation, you have to give in to temptation but with awareness.
We know we can't resist, avoiding playing doesn't help, in fact it makes you want to play more.
Instead, playing in moderation and without exaggerating can satisfy your appetite.

The key is still in our own self-control when gambling, when we have good self-control then there will be no excessive attitude in gambling. Many people gamble excessively and they tend to end up sadly, this happens in my opinion because there is indeed no good self-control when gambling. Now if we gamble with good self-control then we will gamble reasonably as you said playing enough and without being excessive.

But it is true that the temptation that arises when gambling cannot be hidden, I myself feel it and yes the temptation is quite strong. And it is indeed difficult to fight the temptation with the beginning being difficult but over time everything feels easy to do, as long as we can learn from previous events then we can be better in the future.
