Consciously, perhaps we will never know whether we are an addict or not, we can see when people around us leave us when we go bankrupt and lose a lot of money because of gambling, if we experience that it means we have become a gambling addict, I'm sure maybe You've felt that too, but so far I haven't become an addict because my gambling habits are still well controlled, for example I only gamble on weekends, never on weekdays or weekdays.

I still manage my budget every time I gamble so I won't become an addict because I always stop playing when my capital budget runs out, if I win then I will withdraw the money and then stop playing, in the past maybe I was addicted subconsciously, but maybe not as bad as like people and still within reasonable limits, the point is that everyone must have experienced being a gambling addict, consciously or unconsciously. Depending on the severity, on average, it is quite difficult for heavy addicts to stop gambling. That's why we always see advice from many people on this forum to gamble responsibly and wisely Wink

To be honest in the past I have spent a lot of money gambling. What I mean here is that I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe the nominal amount is not that big but it makes me feel like a gambling addict. I spent 5 months of my savings on gambling. Currently I am aware and am in the stage of improving my own financial condition. Have you ever felt like a gambling addict? and how much did you lose in gambling?

Addiction is when gambling only occupy most of your time. Literally thinking gambling all the time is a sign of addiction. Losing money is not enough as reason for addiction since it’s obvious that house will always win due to house edge. The only time you can classified as a gambling addict is when you play gambling most of the time and abandoning everything.

I didn’t experience this kind of addiction since I have limited funds available to gamble which makes me immediately stop whenever my gambling budget is already loss. FYI, you can still be considered as gambling addict even if you are consistently winning as long as you are always gambling without any control.

a single episode, (with a degree of severity) can always happen to everyone (mostly First years of gambling).

Are you managing not to bet now?
Well, starts to get professional help and change management of your money.

if you have difficulty not spending it, the only solution is to stay away from it and manage it with a different approach that prevents you from losing money again... as suggested before cold wallets and multisignature address.

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

I have been heavily addicted in 2019-2020 with slot machines.In fact I was not gambling much at that time except sport bets and it was that time that I first saw the new providers of slot machines like Play n Go and immediately fell in love with their Arthurian themed slots boasting an x100 multiplier,in the slots that I used to play before they never gave you more than x3 or x5 multiplier but they did give you huge amount of free spins up to 200.This love led me soon to addiction and it took a while to realize it and thank God that gave me a super strong self determination to quit it,I know only gamble once or twice a week and with very little amount of money compared to that time,I am healed.

I believe that if you have a single episode in which you gambled compulsively this not means you are person who has an addiction in gambling but Just you're a person who has not been able to limit his spending possibilities!

going over budget happens often. Have you learn lesson? The amount that you Lost Is the valide of this lesson (would said a friend of mine when talking about forgeries....)
The solution for the future Is pretty easy.
Set up a cold wallet or multisignature wallet to avoid this problem in the future

Is that true? I thought I had become a gambling addict because I spent all my savings. Yes, at that time I forgot myself and my emotions so I chased after losing in gambling. I thought I would be able to get my money back but the longer I gambled, the more money I lost.

At that time, I almost borrowed money from the bank so that I could continue gambling, but my close friend reminded me of the consequences if I lost money again because of gambling, my situation would be even worse. I didn't borrow from the bank and without money I stopped gambling for quite a long time.
