As long as I want I have been avoiding gambling for almost 6 months now.
And I am doing well ,When ever I feel like I want to gamble I would start to play some video games or watch some movie to keep me entertain,
And sometimes I would just keep my wallet away from me or cash out all of my bitcoin so that I couldn't gamble.
I am sure either gambling has dealt with you before or it has dealt with someone very close to you. It is very funny though, knowing that the gambling industry is one booming industry, which totally means there are so many people gambling each and every day nonstop while making money into the gambling industry's pocket.
The crazy thing about the whole thing though is that, it is better to avoid from the start than to get in and find it hard to get out. It is like drug, so for me, once you know you cannot control yourself normally, it is better not to even gamble at all.
You are right, gambling industry is flourishing on daily basis nowadays. The reason is the increase in distance and loneliness people are suffering in present era due to technology. It is true that now we spend less time with our close ones and have no one to talk with. We cannot share our pain and sorrow with anyone, try to deal with it on our own and become depressed with time. Then we try to find relief and go for such things as gambling.
Accessibility nowadays is very present in almost everyone's lives. It's interesting how it makes easier the contact with those who are far from you, but at same time it makes the contact with those who are near you harder, as people are too connected to the internet all day long, becoming more antisocial.
It indeed help gambling's industry to grow and to move even more money. And those who are too lonely on their lives will find confort in gambling, surely for them, after gambling becomes a routine's activity, it will be almost impossible to stay without gambling for a long time.
Just a reflex of an unbalanced life...
