Someone who's denying that he's an addicted gambler will reflect to himself that much. That's why checking on which part are you already and getting overview or insight about yourself is very important. You have to take a look if you're already harming yourself and the other activities like you don't affect at all in the past. Because if you're coming to that point of gambling and you're affecting the other things that you used to do, you're becoming a serious and very impacted gambler that you just don't want to admit that you're experiencing something bad at all. A gambler that can't accept that he's one and undeniable will probably have to deal with more problems soon.

Addicted gamblers who can't admit they are already addicted are those who keep justifying their actions and genuinely believe that their actions are acceptable. This is why it is important that you have someone to check up on you once in a while so that they can tell for sure if you are still within proper limitations or you are already in too deep and need to be pulled.

Some addicts though despite the self awareness still have a hard time shaking the addiction off. But if you are an addict and you have admitted to yourself that you are indeed addicted to gambling, then this is already the first step of your healing journey.

This is the only way we can control addiction by regular releasing post like this for people to learn and make their corrections. You can add your let the discussion continue.

Well, ones has to always be mind ful of his gambling habits so they don't get addicted without even knowing. Most time you gamble, take breaks, go out of your gambling areas. You need to free your mind and refresh your mindset. I sometimes do this alot after some continuous losses. If one puts too much time into his gambling activities he might become too isolated from his surroundings. Family night consider him an addict As he no longer takes care of his responsibility in the house. We just need to learn how to control your self

Not really just that only on gambling but rather on all the things that you've been doing or engaging into on which it would really be that relevant that you should really be that trying out to check
whether you are still that doing fine or you are already go beyond limits on which these things would really be that crucial anytime. There are ones who are strict on following those rules that had been set
but there would really be those individuals who do really just that simply ignore the risks and goes ahead and sticking on what are the things that they do have in mind.

In every actions that you would really be making then it will really be just that normal that you should be mindful about on the things that you must do in order for you to have
such control on possible risks that lies ahead.

It's very important to periodically appraise our gambling habits, inorder to know whether we're heading towards addiction because there's that possibility to become addicted. It includes whether we're still gambling responsibly, whether it's affecting our relationships with Loved ones, whether we're giving too much time to gambling and it's affecting our other areas of life like work and happiness.

I bet you, a thought of addiction will even be the reason gamblers won't want to appraise themselves periodically and review what they aren't doing right. Probably, there's that fear they might be guilty of such habit. There's a thing with people holding strongly to something and not wanting to expose themselves to anything that will castigate such a habit. Gambling addiction is one. Those who are addicted know they're addicted but will pretend not to know it. Addicts won't like being reminded they're. Anything that will bring them to face that truth, expectedly will be frowm at.

If yes then it's imperatively to narrow down your eagerness, and activeness towards gambling as you have already fallen into addiction and if you find yourself into this conditions then you need to reduced.

People who are addicted will not know what to do unless their closest people know about the addiction and care enough to take them to a professional to start getting therapy so they can get rid of the addiction.

When you start to get too interested in gambling, you start to be more busy with other things, so your mind will start to be diverted not when you are addicted because as I mentioned, those who are addicted cannot think about getting out of gambling because they are too controlled by the desire to continue gambling

The points you made in the list are very good but I think it will work for people who are not addicted yet because they still have a clear mind.

Recently people out there takes playing gambling seriously, others just for fun, during my gambling I do keep tracking with the google sheet how much I deposited, how much I win and of course how much I lose and whats the amount of percentage I win on that particular game so I don't get bothered how much I losses as long as the win and losses are still in the positive side. When I'm playing gambling I do it alone and of course people around me possible get affected to my emotions so as possible I play alone to prevent some unnecessary actions.

Back days when I just started gambling, I was much younger and so I was carried away on making profit from gambling which made me gamble excessively. The reason is that, any amount of money that I have on me, I gamble with it. If I make profit, that is when the hope of winning back everything I have lost will come, and I will lose all the funds on gambling. I didn't bother to check my gambling records or activity, I only believe that I will win it back. Later, when I was free from addiction, I realized that I have wasted a lot of money on gambling when I flashed back. I started having a gambling budget and set time limit whenever I gamble, and it helped me a lot.

I am not an addicted gambler and I gamble only once either a week or twice a month if I have the money. So there is no much things to check in my gambling habit. It is only when a gambler dedicated his life in gambling then people in the society plus family members would talk about him mostly if he is not doing well in the society. That is why even though you are addicted gambler it is not good to do bad things because it will damage your social life with people.
And whatever one does, he should not hurt his family members and friends because they are his back borne and whenever something happens to him, they can still help him. So it is good to build good relationship with family and friends.

such as what people says about you, how your family talks about you or are you gradually becoming a problems to your family?
Or are you finding yourself not to stay without gambling for 4-10 hrs per day, weeks and so on?
Are you having less time for other activities whereby giving your work less priority and making gambling your utmost importance than your work and home?

I don't see my gambling habit to be an addictive one because it is an activity that I indulge into once in a while. When it comes to my mental health, I have been sound compared some people going through obsessive compulsive disorder and others associated to it, though i still feel guilt when I lose.

My relationship with family and friends have improved as the day goes by and my financial status is not bad. I have a job and i have been working hard to keep it, hoping to get a higher position. Above all, I have this sense of fulfillment in me.

Great! This shows you are very low towards gambling addiction and could be very hard to got addicted since you are being too engaged with other activities, couples with your work and family interactions all these could likely reduce your attention from becoming an addicted gambler. You know there are people who hardly spare time for their personal life including their relationship between them and that of their families due to compulsive and over zealousness to hit a specific target of their life, making them not to care about their overall life performances towards gambling and even if they are becoming addicted it would be hard for them to know and control it.

It's a good habit to check on yourself and I do that too not just to analyze my gambling patterns but to understand how I am doing in my life, I just recall everything I did for the day before going to sleep and that's my way of analyzing if anyone wonders.

If you are gambling every day which itself a flag though, it should be once in a while like a couple of times a week is an acceptable level but every day might need some attention to see whether you are actually play for fun or any other reason but we can't be rational in that cases, you might need someone who they understand needs to take it up for you.

I personally don't do any self-examination, much less about thinking of ways to improve on previous losing results. Because if I remember the previous loss at least it will only trigger disappointment and thus, it is likely that I will try it again and target a win to take back what I have lost, and that is not good for me personally at all. So yes, when the gambling is over whether the result is a win or a loss, I personally will just try to forget about it, because if in the future I gamble again then it will be a new page and not bring up the results received before, at least for a refresher on myself. But about doing gambling every day, it will only destroy everything in me as far as I've experienced, so I also gamble only a few times every week.

If you're able to gamble on budget, with amount that you can afford to loose, never chase loses and don't gamble with your wins, I think you're a responsible gambler.

Self -control when spending a budget in gambling needs to be examined in a scale because sometimes we are not aware of the budget that has been spent. Control in gambling is very important so that we are not trapped in gambling that is addicted and these habits will make our lives not run normally well. Gambling needs to be handled well so that someone does not get a problem and usually it will be difficult to stop when it is addicted.

It is better to make a special budget for gambling and when the budget runs out then stop for a moment and do not force to put in other money. In this way we are far more able to control and will not be involved in irresponsible gambling.

I usually do appraisal of my gambling weekly and monthly to check if I'm going beyond my limits. Like today, I played far above my limits and lost, what this will mean is that for the rest of the week, I will limit my gambling both in how frequent I gamble and how much I gamble with daily and for the rest of the week. I do this to ensure that gambling does not become a burden to me because that is what frustrate many gamblers, I mean when gambling become a burden to them and another conduit of losing money rather than gaining money.

I maximize my gambling activities mostly over the weekends there after I close till the next weekend, because of that I do have enough time and energy to focus on other things and at not giving any much room to go wild with gambling that I know very well if giving much attention my entire activities will be affected negatively, I gamble just for fun, I loss and i win too, i don't panic any more like when I started gambling newly, alot has happened to me and I have learnt from it, i have now gotten certain level of experience which is helping me become a responsible gambler.

In my opinion, the most important thing is to honestly answer yourself the question - is gambling entertainment or a source of income for you?

If gambling is entertainment for you, then you should ask yourself - what place does this hobby occupy in your lifestyle system? There are many activities in life that bring pleasure to people. Gambling should not, in my opinion, be in first place - it is only one of the many entertainments that are available to people.

If gambling is a way to earn money for you, then it is advisable to answer another question - what is your competitive advantage over other players? Do you have the super memory of a professional poker player? Or perhaps you know a football coach who provides you with insider information?

If you do not have a competitive advantage over other players, then you cannot consider gambling as a source of constant income.

The only gambling habit I have is a false vision that sometimes there are situations where safe bets can placed. That a team won score on last minutes. That when I play dice and set 95 win chance, after getting 96-100, there is no way there will be another number from 96 to 100 next round. That after rocket in crash explodes on 1.00, its is safe to place large bet, because next explosion wont be on 1.00 again. Cant get rid of habit placing all-in on extremely low risky bets.

Have you checked an overview of your gambling habits?

I have considered and have checked my gambling overview, where I am currently still in the non-addictive stage, Likewise with my family, no one knows that I gamble at this time, my family still believes that I don't gamble.

My gambling is done at night, when all my family is sleeping, then I usually do it around 3-5 in the morning, for me that's enough time to do it, After all, I don't gamble every day, if I have the opportunity and there is money to gamble, I will do it, for now the overview of gambling is still conducive and under control.

For me, not all activities have to be told to the family, for example when gambling, where gambling is seen as not good by my family, there are things that have to be told to the family apart from gambling.

I think that by recording deposits and wins it is very good for managing our finances, and we can also find out whether we have experienced wins or losses in 1 period (month). If we have experienced losses in 2-3 consecutive times, it is better for us to take a long break first.

I also have started to play alone lately as every time I am losing, I mean in a losing session I get mad at hearing people about something else and not talking to me, they use to watch TV for example while I have my headphones on I get mad and I tend to give them the fault and guilt for my lost session. Playing alone is an absolute must in order to keep calm and not get distracted by what is happening around you, beside that taking a spreadsheet seems like a good idea, maybe I start doing the same as I never track my spending habits, my deposits, my wins and my lost sessions, probably if I start to implement this it will end up in me leaving gambling for good as I am experiencing many many consecutive lost sessions and out of such losing sessions, just one winning one to keep me coming back, it is like a rat race, like our usual 9 to 5 rat race.
