Yes, it is a fact that it should be done that way, or everyone should have their own handbrake, for example mine is very basic but effective, think about the family, the Children who are my children, just with that the simple fact of imagining that they could be missing something I would not forgive myself for, then those who have children there have a good mental trick so that you apply that Handbrake, see the sad face of one of our children, I think that no Parent can Allow that if it is in our hands to avoid it.
Indeed something that will allow you to think about important matters that you need to address, if you have that in mind, then you can help yourself avoiding things that may lead you to make a bad call when you are in the middle of the session, making sure that each gambling activities that you'll goin to enter.
But in reality they will only be able to do all those things only when they remember it, meaning only when they can maintain a level of awareness in themselves and in reality what often happens is that they often ignore the various plans they have made before which is caused because they are carried away by the sensation of the game until finally they fall into various aggressive actions such as greed for example, meaning maintaining awareness is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, but it does not mean it is impossible.
You have summarized it all and as you said, if one is said to be a responsible gambler, it means the person has control over their emotions and control on the amount they want to gamble with, the time they want to spend at the casino every day and they also choose to attend to other important activities over gambling. Those ability is what some other gamblers doesn't have and that's why they are addicted.
Yeah, that kind of ability is something that needed in order to prevent getting addicted, if you have good discipline then you can avoid whatever the problem that may happen, it's just not all can deal with it that's why the casino keeps popping more and more.
True, and in my opinion this ability will only be possessed by a gambler who really understands and realizes what and how gambling really is, because everyone must first know and realize the risks and the magnitude of the bad impacts because then they will feel afraid, all actions that lead to prevention especially so as not to get addicted can be easily done if they already know everything especially the concept of winning and losing.
