There are people out there who do not want to play gambling at all because they think that once they do, they will fall into addiction. Of course, we know it’s not that immediate nor easy but it makes me wonder whether there’s some truth to that. Is it better to avoid addiction in the first place by completely devoiding yourself of doing that activity instead of playing and getting addicted only to try and recover afterwards?
Yeah, most likely there are people who are not that attractive to gambling. I have a close friend, who I have been closed for many years, partying before and then drinking all night long. But when it comes to gambling, he didn't want to get himself involved. Even if we encourage him to go to landbase casinos. He will come with us, but he won't gamble any money.
That's why I really admire the self control of this guy. Although he had some serious medical issues in the last two years and we haven't seen him for a while, but still though, if I remember back what we are doing and him not gambling, I just do hope that I have the self control that he have.
