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?
Gambling can also help you to become mentally healthy. For people suffering from anxiety, a touch of entertainment can make the time they spend more enjoyable. New gamblers seem to be more likely to lose more than to be addicted to gambling. Most of them do not want to get involved in the gambling industry for fear of losing too much. Based on the title of your thread, I think it would be unreasonable for you to predetermine what kind of measures you can take to prevent addiction before you start gambling. Before starting gambling, you need to prepare yourself mentally so that you can control yourself because gambling is most harmful when you are too emotional.
