It seems that what you said corresponds to reality. Giving up gambling is very difficult, unless we are bankrupt and have no more money to deposit. I stopped gambling for about 3 or 4 months (didn't gamble at all) but after getting extra income from this forum, I started gambling again. The difference is, now I limit myself and limit the money I can use to gamble
Actually there is nothing wrong with gambling, as long as gambling does not make us lose a lot of money and have a lot of debt. One way I control my money for gambling is by withdrawing money from my bank account and leaving a small amount of money in the account. So when I want to gamble I need to deposit money into an ATM, and often I am too lazy to do that, so I cancel my gambling desires.
Quitting gambling is very difficult. But if we realize that while gambling, we don't get many wins and only lose, it seems like we really have to stop gambling or reduce our gambling activities. Gambling is not wrong, but you have to have clear boundaries so you don't gamble too much. Many people lose self-control while gambling, so they lose a lot of money and end up completely bankrupt.
What you did was good. You can control yourself while gambling and regulate how much to gamble. Not many can do it because people tend to deposit some more money when they lose. They still want to gamble and recover previous losses and want to win.
When we talk about difficulties, this is not the end of everything and what we need to do is fight harder and more extra. Fight against all the impossibilities that exist if other people say that you will not be able to get through all this to be able to have full control over yourself in gambling, then don't pay attention to what other people say to you and just do your best, stay focused on the main goal you are gaining control over yourself.
That's a good idea, I didn't think that "consider it to pay for the entertainment"
if you really have this mind set you will never regret the losses.
If we only regret the things we have done, there is no point at all and will only waste our time and disturb our minds. Instead of regretting it, we should focus on improving ourselves so we can be wiser in doing things, including gambling.
