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.
Somehow I seriously doubt that you can satisfy your appetite if you gamble moderately. Is that even possible? This approach didn't help me much. On the contrary, I wanted to gamble even more. It's better to give up gambling completely if you've already developed a strong urge. And there's no need to even talk about addiction. It still hasn't gone away. Yes, it's become much smaller, but it still exists. Why does this happen? It's all about our mind. It remembers wonderful moments and wants to repeat them over and over again.
