It really good to recognize the risk of addiction and taking breaks when necessary can help maintain a healthy relationship with gambling, and aslo ot takes a another thing to be mindful of games that can be particularly addictive and setting limits can help prevent problematic, and aslo responsible gambling requires a combination of self awareness, discipline and smart decisions making. Pulse having a well good strategic can help gambler maintain control over thier financials and reduce the risk of financial difficulties.
You got it right, when we discuss about addiction some person don't see it as a serious thing, they feel it's shouldn't be discussed at all may be they think that there's no need for that and some of those that think this way might be addicted without being aware and still call it normal thing, as long as I gamble and know what gambling can do to every gambler out there if they don't dont take measures to curtail it excessiveness, I will keep advising the little I can to help people understands why they need to gamble and still stay safe while doing that.
People think they can avoid addiction easily but they will not realize when they become addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction comes slowly from the temptation to keep playing gambling without stopping. But if they don't play gambling too often and consider that gambling is a fun activity, they can avoid the addiction.
Yes, I do agree, in the beginning, we really don't know if we are into gambling addiction already. As usually there is this denial stage until it's too late. I admit that before, I didn't recognized the signs and symptoms as everyone in my circle are gamblers, including my wife. But when I lost my job and there was no money, that's when the time I realized that my priorities are wrong.
So when I got back, I change everything, I still gamble, but not like before. From time to time I will go online and play. Or go out with friends and families to play in land base casinos but that's it. No more returning back to my old self.
Denial stage will occur especially that we are new on this things and think about we are still fine but we could feel the effect of it especially on we are near on late stage like many people got affected on the addiction we are experiencing.
Luckily I didn't get unto that far and manage to solve my gambling addiction issues before. But I've seen lots of people fall down and turn their life miserable because they exceed to much on their limitation.
Gambling is fun if we don't abuse it and hopefully people realize that they should never exceed then aim to have fun.
