I am generally a responsible person, and it is easy for me to be responsible in any area, as long as I have some basic mental resource for it.
But being a responsible player is probably not easy in general, especially for those who come to gambling with the idea of making quick money. It is important to practice systematically: set a budget in advance, understand the risks, and stop on time. Emotions, stress, or a bad mood can affect your judgment, so the habit of playing responsibly should be fostered and developed gradually, in case it doesn't come naturally to a person.
I wasn't given this by nature, so I probably made most of the mistakes in the game, from small to large, even several times, until I realized that I needed to understand why I was doing this and I began to study this problem. It was enough for me to watch several dozen interviews with players who told their path from the beginning to complete loss and I noticed that everyone had common features. This helped me completely get rid of the addiction, so if at one point I realize that the game is starting to take over my emotions, I will immediately stop playing, because I do not want to be drawn into the funnel of my emotions and the desire to win back.
