That's why I don't tell my friends about my gambling results, because if we get too comfortable exchanging results and then laughing together, we could end up losing too much beyond our limits. Because of the obsession, "Here's my result today, what about yours?" When exchanging gambling results, we subconsciously continue playing to keep up with our friends. If this is the case for you, it's best to tell your friends that you've cut back on gambling. It's okay, and they might stop sharing their gambling history with you.
