Lucky that I applied this to myself when i am closer in becoming addicted , because those time I kept dreaming of gambling and even when in work, my mind keeps thinking of the number combinations in my favorite games in which made me talk to my wife and have a deep examining of my attitude.
and thanks to this thread OP there will be some light to other gamblers who thought no one is caring about them.
Topic: A call to self-examining our gambling habit. - page 10. (Read 1258 times)
I just want to add that if people want to make "self-examining" much easier, they should put reasonable rules in place when they are gambling, doing this would make it easier to find out if you are starting to have gambling problems, what I mean about it is if you keep breaking the rules you have put in place then it means that you are having trouble following it and you might be suffering from a gambling problem.
As long as you are still betting using money that you can afford to lose, and also the amount is not large compared to the income you have then I can say that a gambler like that will be far from addicted because it means he is still gambling within his limits, which can often make a gambler end up addicted is When he gambles beyond his limits and continues to gamble even though he has started using money that he cannot afford to lose or starts using the money for important things, even going into debt, he has started to become addicted and if he doesn't evaluate himself he will really become an addict.
So far I still gamble within the limits I set and also use the money I can afford to lose without ever thinking about using the money for anything else.

As gambler when last did you self-examine your gambling habit to create that awareness based on how you are gambling in order for you to be quite sure if you're within a considerable or an acceptable range of a gambling habit that is void of addiction or the tendencies of gambling addiction.
I think if gamblers could take certain step in setting up regular self examining question towards themself it will be helpful to them in their gambling life not to ignorantly be harbouring a gambling addiction or compulsive gambling lifestyle. Quite a number of gamblers are nursing an addictive gambling habit without knowing and for them their gambling life is normal but if they should genuinely scrutinize or put their habit to test it is possible they could find varied errors to correct and be right on track again.
Don't you think so?
Well think so. But not all gamblers would see their activities as addiction. Some gamblers often plays the extent that they no longer care how they do it but so long they were a ble to gamble. So pays money to others in the name of odds and these people claims to be having good odds which I think it's not always true.I think if gamblers could take certain step in setting up regular self examining question towards themself it will be helpful to them in their gambling life not to ignorantly be harbouring a gambling addiction or compulsive gambling lifestyle.

As a gambler, you should be able to sit down once in a while and check if your gambling activities are putting your health right. Most people gets heart attacks when they find out that Thier games didn't play out. Some may even get angry and destroy some of their property or even that of the public. All these are little things that we don't take not of maybe thinking they are just anger but not knowing that it's addiction. When we gamble, we should understand to control and avoid any thing that would create a wrong habit tending to addiction.

Someone who wants to playing gambling must know how to have self-control because playing gambling can tempted him to playing gambling longer than other people. Without self-control and with the other things, he can get deeper in gambling and he can gets addicted to gambling. Not many people doing self-examine about their gambling habit because once they gets fun from gambling, they will forget to do what they must do in gambling.
If they can doing self-examine and see that they have a sign about addicted or feel they become more often playing gambling, they will trying to reduce their time playing gambling. They will prevent playing gambling for a while to avoids their minds thinking about gambling. They will try to change his habit playing gambling because they can see that they slowly becomes more often playing gambling and have a sign becoming addicted to gambling.

I don't examine my self of my gambling habits because I am not a regular Gambler. I know what gambling has done to me before now I gamble with care. You know what? Greediness is the reason why people can't control there habit. Expecially when they win but was not satisfied and wanting to win more and they end up lossing all.The simplest way to control gambling addiction is to control yourself when you want to still playore after winning. That just all. If you can be able to do it then you are good to Go.
Very early on I kept a closer eye on it and even went so far as to use self-exclusion tools for 12 or 24 hours to make sure I didn't gamble too much and thus also forced myself to check my game during those hours when I couldn't play. But from a few years now it's just routine, it's like a part-time job that gives me a little extra money, and every year that goes by I play a little less. So, no problems in that sense.

I’m a regular gambler and I’m always doing this after I finish the game badly. Most people forget this important part of gambling that’s why many keep falling on same mistake such as chasing losses.
But if you are only wagering money that you can afford to lose, you don’t need to do this frequently as you knew that you are not using money that is dedicated to important things. I’m not losing frequently so I do this in very rare occasion but it’s different case on many gambler since losing is frequent to occur especially for those slot players that always chasing max win or high multiplier.
Overall, it’s really good to check your gambling habit from time to time.
