Sometimes about 2 months ago, I was really engaged in gambling and I was so comfortable even discovering new games from the casino and gambling sites that I have been playing with.
It was really fun even while I was loosing a lot because I was keeping every of the games outcomes updated with my very good friend and he was also playing and updating me from his own end.
You see how it really got the fun?
But as time goes I checked my gambling history and it appeared that I have been playing more than my plans which has also got to affect my bankroll because I began gambling without plans anymore.

I was not feeling comfortable about it anymore because I had that felling that I may have fallen addicted unknowingly. So I took it upon myself and decided not to gamble for atleast 1 month with attentiveness to observe the state of my emotions if it is going to feel troubled or worried over the while on the break.
But I am glad to say that I am still in control of myself and my emotions are in good conditions. There was no single feeling like I was really missing something I can not do without.
So in the past few days now I resumed to gamble and could still maintain those conscious and responsible gambling person.

Never consider gambling a part of your life. View gambling as if you are gambling for fun, there is no need to profit from gambling, if you start with such a mentality, you have self-control over yourself. set boundaries of money and time for gambling responsibly. remember that greed leads to destruction because gambling to get back the money you lost and getting into financial crisis again and again is due to the failure of your self-control. Where to stop gambling, where to start this is a strategy for gambling. whoever does not have this strategy, it can be said that he does not have control. this is a very good point @po It is wise to manage gambling with a positive attitude and self-control.

Yes, that's how it should be. As you said, never consider gambling a part of life. Think of it as mere entertainment, like going on vacation or going to the movies. The scenario is that you exchange money for pleasure. When we go on vacation, don't we always expect to make a profit? Yes, that's how every gambler should think when they want to gamble.

On the other hand, I believe one of the reasons why gamblers struggle to be responsible or always chase winning is because the goal of winning is money. Therefore, I've always considered winning at gambling as nothing more than a bonus.
