There will be days that we truly hate gambling because of the money that we have lost and promise to ourselves that we will stop gambling for good. But then again, after just a day, you felt that your day is not complete without gambling and so you are tempted to go back.
That’s the exact definition of addiction. When you are addicted to something, you will feel uncomfortable and will feel as if something is missing until you do it (fill the whole). If you get to that point, then you should realize that you need to seek help.
Unfortunately, some gamblers fail to realize the difference between the urge to play more just for the sake of having fun and the early signs of addiction.
I believe 99% of people who's consistent participating in this activities experience addiction. And we could agree that we are really in disturbing phase when we are in that situation.
Some realize when its late and they are been in total bad shape. But some are so lucky that they realize early that what they do is not really so good for them and they correct those mistake they made.
That's why I don't like much participating on tournament since that activities are addicting. I gamble casually and I don't want to experience having problems on my gambling activities since I always take this for short time entertainment only.
