If a gambler has crossed this limit, it is certain that this is a sign of addiction and if he is not aware of the signs addiction it will be very dangerous because I am sure that in the short term he will experience bad things or at least spend all his savings and from this story how important it about our own awareness that is better to stop gambling forever or have to continue gambling with all the risks and in this concept what I mean a gambler who is not ready to accept all risks and still has to stick with his commitment not to be addicted and if someone not ready to accept everyone would prefer to stop gambling as soon as possible.

I think that not every person can be aware of the question of how attracted he is to gambling and whether this passion is a simple hobby or whether it is already the beginning of a painful attraction to gambling. 
Some, of course, may understand that they have become too strongly drawn to play and throughout the working day the thought of quickly getting to a computer or mobile phone and playing quietly so that no one distracts them from this game constantly appears in their heads.  This, it seems to me, is the beginning of such an unpleasant process as gaming addiction. 
A nd you should at least think about the fact that gambling is penetrating more and more into your brain.  In my opinion, this is the moment when you need to slow down and give up the game for a while.

Your knowledge of gambling addiction's roots is excellent. Yes, it's a mental compulsion that explores our emotional vulnerabilities - boredom, stress, and dissatisfaction. It's more than throwing dice or pressing a slot lever - it's a yearning. This is the crucial question: Why is acceptance so hard for many? Why do people deny everything when they're about to lose it? It's time folks face their demons and admit their problems.

I completely agree with your view of gambling as a hobby rather than a means to wealth. People must realize there's no jackpot at the end of this rainbow. The cycle of wins and loses, highs and lows continues. Financial stability, planning, and control are the ultimate joys. Real-life goals are worth more than a win. Let your adrenaline kicks come from real-world challenges and triumphs. Always remember the house win.

It should be like that and it is already like that for the most of us who are well responsible of our selves. It was only the addicted gamblers are the ones who do it wrongly or the opposite way. As an addict, your life will mostly revolve in one activity, and you are literally isolating your self from the public most especially if your addiction is online gambling.

I have a partner and I integrate or share gambling to her. For some maybe they need to be careful and make sure that the person is already in to gambling. I only find it wrong when you say we need to integrate gambling with our occupation as it will only affect our performances and there is a bigger chance that we can lose our job.

When a gambler prioritizes something that should be just a hobby over the needs of their family that is a clear sign that they are addicted or at least on their way to be, and this should be also a very alarming sign for the gambler as well, as they should know that once they do this and they do nothing to stop themselves then almost all limits on their behavior will be broken and they will do anything to keep gambling, a path that could eventually land them on jail.

Prioritizing family needs is one way to manage our minds so that we don't place too much emphasis on gambling and the way you say is also very good when gambling is used as a hobby which will be done when we have money left over that is not used and even when we have money left over but our minds are always thinking about the daily needs for the family, he certainly would not use the money to gamble because he felt that he would really need the money in the future.
So all of this must be trained from our minds which always think of prioritizing something more important than gambling.

 Once you realize you enjoy gambling too much they are few things you need to understand; gambling is not a physical addiction but a mental one, gambling is a compulsion, it causes mental disease, it can also cause social issues. Both privately or geographically. It is important to start understanding what drives one towards gambling in some cases it was mostly; boredom, stress and unhappiness. Once you realize that and you accept it you already on a significant path to be able to deal with it. Some people won’t want to accept that they are gambling addict, but they are deeply engulfed in it and can’t stop. Even when they try they still go back to it in the slightest chance they get. There’s no crime or shame in accepting the flaw it will help tackle or stop the habit. Be prepared to deal with relapses as it will happen treat it as learning moment, but be honest and try to avoid the situation in the future.
   When your out of control, gambling can slowly peal off the layers of what was important to you without even realizing what happened. The first thing you must realize is that you can’t get rich gambling. Gambling will always be a 50/50 chance and winning is not guarantee or sure. Challenge yourself, not everyone pays their bill on time. Work on shaping up your financial life. Set a few goals, if you make them, you will get the same rush you did in gambling. A win is a win. Then you will find it easier to stay on the same track. Focus on what you want and find another direction to try and achieve it. Gambling is recreational, you don’t get rich. I’m a small bettor and I usually  grind out a small profit at the end of the season. It’s usually enough to take vacation somewhere. My risk is low and I don’t force plays just for action.

Every gambler is actually required to have good and thorough preparation before playing, they must be well aware and know when it is time to place a bet and stop betting, in anticipation of the possibility of going wrong in the gambling game that is being played.

many gamblers go bankrupt in gambling, it's not all the fault of the gambling games they play, but because the person is not able to control themselves well and make decisions wisely, remember that gambling is like psychological warfare, if you are not able to control yourself then you lost.

correct , but I think it is better to call HOBBY than HABIT mate because there are still obligation on that part of habiting , Hobby for me is something that I only do when there is extra money and of course extra time.
but that is completely true to only spend depending on your capacity in life and that never to put in risk your daily living.

Have to agree completely with the both of you, it is very important as gamblers to always put our gambling activities and desires under serious check at all times, as I personally believe that this is one of the major ways to not only avoid playing with money one cannot afford to lose, but also, it's an effective way to make sure one is not gambling far more than necessary.

Gambling is made and supposed to be fun but we cannot deny the fact that most of the times, we still see ourselves gambling for profit instead of us just gambling to have fun, it is not actually a crime to gamble for profit, but our approach to the whole thing is what determine if we are already crossing the safe line of responsible gambling or not. So, this is something we must always watch, whether gambling for profit or for fun, responsible gambling should always be the number one objective.

If you put that into perspective, then it won't be that hard to find ways on how you can manage it the right way. Most of the time, those who got addicted take things as the only option that they've got. I guess if they can treat it as like a normal habit which they can with good control, they will not suffer from any heavy addictions.

Though we can't generalize as there are still people who can go deep even they have other things that needed to do in life, that addiction is too deep where they can't do anything to help and already needed to have someone to boost their self-will to fix the issue.

Yes that is the best form of advice needed at this point,  because calling oneself to order is the only way to keep your head above the stormy water or be able to walk away with your winning because not withdrawing,  will only amount to you incurring more loses so for that you need to place some level of limits to you gambling behaviours,  and also think for a second what and how no letting go will only lead you to in curing loses that you may not be able to comprehend with on the long run.

So the best possible practice is to always be at alert to speculate and allocate the right time to everything you do as a gambler and also be able to place a stop,  at whatever direction you may be going while gambling because it is only in doing so that you be able to free yourself ups from some forces that may want to drag you further in your current direction be it chasing winning or loses.

Break time would be literally;
1. Having no more money on their gambling account/pocket
2. Totally have lots it all even your life savings

There's no way that you would really be stopping midway.Although not all but most likely the case for most gamblers because once we have deposited a certain amount of fund and then
making up some wins then it would really be that unlikely that you would really be stopping on that particular time or moment. Why? because they are really that hoping for more winning and this is
something that a very common behavior of gambler specially into that someone who does experiencing those streaks until they would really be finding themselves on losing those
winnings in the end of the line.

Gambling isnt bad as long  you do have that kind of moderation and control but on the time that you are already compromising the amount which you cant really afford to lose
then this is where problem do begins. You had already reached out your limit but since you are tolerating your addiction then you wont really be stopping
until you do have lost all of your funds or simply sleeping on the streets. 

Most gamblers do not have break time. Gambling is their source of income.  One win is a motivation to gamble more. I've seen quite a good number of people in my area who depend sole on gambling.  They literally gamble everyday. Even if it means borrowing to gamble (which is a bit too far) , they are willing to. There is absolutely no budget for gambling. Persistent losses does not deter them from gambling.
Gambling when taken too far can ruin one's life. That's why I always say, "get a life first before gambling ". Get a normal job, get a hobby then gamble for the sake of entertainment. You do not need to break your piggy bank just to gamble. Get a life first before you lose yourself while gambling.

Sometimes, some people think that any habit is associated with the word already and difficult to rehabilitate for the tendency to stop. Even for the habit of watching a sensation movie or a food will become a favorite.

I'm talking about habbits, when doing with the brain and the possibilities that are liked more and more days will increase both portion, duration or variation depending on what habits are done.

I assume that the past 21 days is a start, and the next 21 days you can start organizing / reducing things that are less useful.

I have been a smoker since 2009, the first month I could stand it, but when there was a lot of supply I smoked more there I found it difficult to reduce the number of sticks yesterday.

Long story short, the more cigarettes I spend every day,

until 2018 I got sick with stomach acid, it made me deterrent and the doctor made me realize, the first 3 weeks I felt like a fever and chaos, but I was aware of the pain.

After a strong desire 1 month I did not smoke and it was effective until now.

what I underline is when there is an opportunity with readiness for everything will change the mindset, and from there the beginning of the transformation to the phase you want including addiction or one's habits in passing the day. especially from the things you mentioned bro.

It's difficult when Someone is betting big and has a good streak , to tell him that at any time he should fold, because he won't, a person is excited when he hits the game and sees that his moves are also correct, but how to stop ? Sometimes you feel that you are going much more than the normal level that one does and well that Excites many and how do you stop there? It is very difficult, things usually happen very quickly and well , so at that moment it is not when you understand that the correct decision is not to buy , it is to continue , because the Profits have to be Lengthened and not Cut, just as it should be done in trading, of course that's a process, maybe that's better, but the good thing is that every time you do this Type of thing when you're in a situation, don't use the martingale strategy, because that's where it causes the biggest problems. losses, it is not good to do it, you must always be careful not to reach the point where you risk so much , this is one of the things that are aware of everything that a Player must Apply.

When a player knows that he is winning well, and has a Loss, he should not try to win the other, he should stop, and if he wants to continue betting it is best to start with the minimum bet, this way the adrenaline will go down because the best thing is that At those times it Doesn't matter to make very big bets and lose, these are the things that you should be very careful about,

Casinos are generally Quite deceptive in the sense that you can get Excited by playing and with your mind thinking that you can win the jackpot, sometimes your players get blinded and start playing on impulse to see if by that luck they manage to win. First of all, then things are not like that either, you have to be very careful, you are risking a lot, it's not just anything, for that reason every time we are faced with any of those situations, we must control ourselves and know how to play and knowing how to win , as well as if you lose , Leave it there so as not to lose more.

That's the point of doing self-reflection, especially after you've been gambling for some time. This is so that you can see the benefits of gambling and decide to keep or stop gambling. And if you don't find any benefits from gambling, you can decide to stop gambling. But if you find pleasure in gambling and can still control yourself, maybe you can still gamble but always control yourself in gambling so that you don't cross your limits. This will help you check whether you can still gamble while having fun or will just be greedy because you want more wins.

Yes, gambling is not an isolated activity in life, it is part of your habits and life and should be integrated into your lifestyle, the people you are with and you job or occupation if you have any. This context can be a help in putting gambling into perspective and use it properly and only while it is fun. Just remember, see around you and will get a better hold on your behavious.

Call yourself to order whenever you're gambling and having nothing to tell concerning your experience in what you do, have a time to run a check on the kind of gambling lifestyle you've had in couple of times, access yourself on a grade level to see if you're proud about what you're doing or not, also check if there's need for an improvement to be implemented, consider the benefits it has served you in many ways and that which you may have lost at the same cause and weigh them all together, if you think you're going too far already, then try to apply wisdom and gamble moderately.

Gamble is okay cause this is the tools when some people are too bored or unhappy they will gamble in order to prevent boredom or problems, which This is what I did when I don't have work then I'll spend  Little time in gambling to prevent boredom. But once a gambler got addicted that is not a good thing for me cause we are all know that once a man/woman got addicted they can't control themselves in terms of betting.
