Gambling Impulse

There was a time in my life when I could gamble with anything. Back then, I used it to survive and even eat daily in school. Sometimes there are good days, and sometimes there are bad days.

If I were to discuss gambling, I would say it's a choice, not an addiction. People misunderstand this, yes, we have many gamblers whose lives have been ruined because they are already too addicted to gambling, but the question is, can they stop? I would say yes, but it might not be easy.

The best way to break free from gambling addiction is to abstain from it because if we don't abstain from it, it will keep drawing our attention to come and take more risks, and this might really affect us later.

It took me time/ to hreak free ftom gambling, i got into gambling when I saw my close friend that we live together cashed out 4 million, back then i was in 100level, he made this amount with just #1000, nobdoy beleiev him until he started buying Tv, ps4, Bed stand and severla other things, lol, everyone say up straight, no dulling. So we put each other through, but the truth is betting is by luck and grace, we can play the same game and you might just make a small adjustment to it, then boom mine cut and yours win, it's all risky.

Gambling should not be a full focus for any man, especially when business exists. Gambling should not be an addiction unless the person has given up on life and just wants to take risks till they pass away. You know some people want to seek approval, risk their lives, or commit suicide.

Gambling is a bad thing only if you are not winning, but when you are winning and it's consistent, people can't talk about addiction with you, except that it goes too far. I remember reading a quote when S9ke said corruption is not a bad thing, it is only a bad thing if I am not involved. I laughed really hard then.

Gambling impulse addiction, from my own perspective, is when some exhibit the same pattern of betting and are unable to control their mood when gambling. There are soft gamblers and there are also greedy gamblers. Now imagine being a greedy gambler and still addicted to it again. This kind of people needs to be monitored honestly.

I also gamble, but I gamble reasonably because I know the risks in gambling. I also know if I get addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to stop or leave it, but that doesn't mean I can't stop it. Some addictions need monitoring or anything, and it is beyond choice because the inner mind moves the person to do that thing even though the person wants to stop, but gambling can be controlled in so many ways.
