Re: Ever thought of stopping… but still kept gambling anyway?

This I have achieved a bit of that but have not been able to be consistent at all to keep myself from gambling. The problem is the adrenaline that we have as persons and that sometime gives us a lot of emotions which leads us to gambling again, at least that is what happens to me, anytime I am staying calm in my coach reading or watching some movies in my tablet immediately the desire of gambling hits me. Probably I need to seek professional help as this is not a normal behavior but the problem is that I need to feel the emotions only gambling can fill me and make me feel good or appreciated. It is very difficult to get out of this cycle though I am working hard with all my power to minimize damages from this.
It's absolutely necessary to try to control and limit yourself, because if you don't, unpleasant consequences can suddenly overtake us, such as uncontrolled emotions in the game, which we try to quell with money. And these can affect the well-being of our family, the quality of our food, or our clothing, which is unacceptable for me; for me, it's the limit, and when I think about it, I stop. Of course, I want to gamble without limiting myself, but I will do so to limit losses; I don't want them to become unlimited or an attempt to win back losses, driving myself further and further with each session.
