I agree to that and indeed I think that's the only thing that can help them from something excessive in gambling, nothing other than what you said strong self-control so that they don't suffer too much defeat, I'm sure to stop completely it seems impossible in a short period of time, so starting from now the steps that can be taken for the cessation process are to apply self-control very strongly and firmly. Yes, all gamblers also want that, they want to win but don't want to lose, or maybe don't want to lose too much, I think that's normal, but the problem is sometimes it's difficult for them to be able to apply the right self-control, or too fragile in resisting all the temptations that come so that even though they have a plan to apply limits but in the end they still break it, that's what usually happens.
The risk in gambling is huge, winning is much more difficult to get and losing will always dominate, so if you are not careful then obviously something unwanted is bound to happen, gamble just for fun and take full responsibility, that's all and I'm sure with that you will stay fine, especially you will not chase and overdo it in search of victory.
A gambler's strong belief in stopping gambling is a good behavior, especially if implemented, it is very likely that they will stop completely. However, sometimes when you want to do this, temptation often arises, for example from friends who have won and got a lot of profits, so they will be easily influenced and want to gamble again so they can get the same win. from that friend. Well, in this case mental strength is also needed to overcome it, namely not being affected by winning or losing from other people, and always being aware that luck is not always the same as other people, so that by implementing this we can get benefits, namely preventing or reducing gambling.
That's right, the risks of gambling are very big, if he can't control himself when gambling. However, with good and appropriate control, the risk of gambling impacts can be minimized.
Yes that's right, a gambling addict if they want to stop gambling they must have a mentality that can withstand the temptation of their friends who get a win, this is one of the temptations that may be difficult to avoid because in my opinion a gambling addict might think "if my friend can, why can't I". But of course this mindset is wrong, he should ask how much money he loses to gamble and how much money he gets, actually if we can control ourselves when gambling this will not be too bad, but if we cannot control ourselves this will be a problem in the future.
How can they reduce gambling or even stop gambling? Of course only they themselves must be aware of the bad effects of gambling, even though they get encouragement and support from people around them, they will not stop before they are satisfied with gambling or when all the money they have is gone, maybe at this time they realize the bad of gambling. and it could be that they have debts to people around them that they borrowed before for gambling. So usually they have to experience the downturn first and only then will they think and regret.
