Comparing yourself to other gamblers sometimes helps because it gives you a small mirror to see if your habits have changed without you noticing. many times we drift slowly into deeper gambling and we do not realize it until someone points it out. checking yourself once in a while creates awareness. it lets you see if you are slipping away from what you used to do and whether your gambling is still under control.

Self examination is one of the strongest signs of a responsible gambler. when you can honestly look at your actions and ask if you are still within your limits it shows discipline. you should not wait for someone else to tell you that you are gambling too much because nobody knows your habits better than you. every gambler has the duty to track their own threshold and make sure they do not cross it. Ignoring this is what leads people into trouble. when a gambler does not even know their own limits they can slowly fall into addiction without seeing the signs. responsibility starts with awareness. if you check yourself regularly you stay in control and gambling remains something you enjoy not something that controls you.
