Having the bitter experience will teach you more. Because you don't want to happen that again and the lesson will be sticked to your mind and you don't want that to happen again anymore.
It can be a short thing to you and you'll realize wholly and quickly because you know that it's the best thing to do. You'll have to correct yourself and if there's still the desire to gamble, you will finally be able to control that again so it won't be experienced again.
Gamblers who have the ability to learn the bitter lesson on an early stage can prevent themselves from becoming addicted ones, because this way they aren't going to chase losses, rather they will accept their limitations and understand the house can't be beaten by the players.
Doesn't matter how much a gambler has lost, he must realize that money is gone and it must be recovered through another methods. Once he recovers that sum of money, he might think about gambling again, although in a more responsible way.
Learning or lessons would always be coming in the end which is something that a standard or normal because there's no such thing about regret and learning would be on the start.
When you are addicted to gambling then of course it would be meaning out about spending tons of funds or life savings and on the time that you dont have something to pull into your own pocket
then much sure you would really be having those realization moments.
Gambling should be fun and not something to be stressful because if you do find yourself into the verge of life wrecking situation in terms of finances then you have done the wrong way.
