Common sense is not something that is even still common this days, and this is generally, not just for gambling addicts
Anyways, very much agree with all that you have said, maintaining a healthy gambling habit requires conscious efforts from the gambler, for without conscious efforts, it is very easy for a gambler to fall or slip into addiction even without knowing it.
So, this is why we must not stop advising, preaching the responsible gambling message every day, most especially, in forums like this one where we have a lot of gambling people or a community of gamblers, for we know not who is reading or might come around and read tomorrow and through the message here, avert what could have lead him or her into gambling addiction.
I think there are still a handful of people who still use common sense not to depend on the results of gambling and only use it for entertainment, but what you say is true. Not for people who are addicted rarely use their common sense. when gambling, all they think about is being able to play and play.
Maybe through this forum we can advise each other to always be careful and maintain control when gambling, because we have all experienced losing or winning in gambling, so that with the experiences experienced by the people here we can learn lessons and make the best of the experience. from them. So I think there's nothing wrong if we always remind each other even through intermediaries on this forum, right?
This is very good by providing solutions or understanding about gambling to our friends who are here. This will lead us to become better individuals in the future to be able to minimize losses and negative impacts that will be experienced due to gambling.
However, actually gambling is not completely bad, it depends on each individual who uses gambling, as long as we can use it in a good, disciplined and responsible manner, we will use our time wisely and control ourselves well, with this we will not experience a gambling addiction.
This for me is a very delicate topic, because as I have said before, for many addiction is something normal, but because they have not experienced it, thank God I have not experienced that either, but I know that the people who are suffering from it do. who suffer a lot, not only because they are left without money, also because they are people who lose many things, some even their friends, family, and they are left completely alone, because they lose credibility and that is the worst thing that can happen to them as people, So in this order of ideas we are the ones who decide how to deal with these things, that's why here in the forum everything that is discussed is always in favor of helping you, the feeling of helping other people is unique, sometimes It is even better than receiving, where you have a lot of money, I think it would help the people who need it most with all types of addiction, to gambling, to alcohol, to everything that is addiction.
Could it be madness? I don't know, but people who are very committed to what they have can give clues that they may be doing things wrong, because obviously they don't have the support of people, here in the forum that's all that can be said, some advice , something that people with this type of condition can heal little by little, because also with the strength of will that is required to have it can be overcome, so some advice such as being in other places, playing sports, all that helps, some do not even have money Now to pay for a psychologist or professional help, then this is something very delicate, because the more people can get up, the better, in each case it is different, I don't know if there will be addiction by levels or something like that, I don't know if there is a classification but always You have to move forward, try to control yourself as much as possible and not have relapses, because that is the worst thing that can happen. Personally, it is always good to have many friends, sometimes they help a lot.
