Do you think that we can avoid gambling addiction? or do we just deny it

You can also accept you have a gambling problem and continue to gamble. While also gamble and not accepting you have a problem.

The clause here is that when you know you have a problem and continue gamble there is a higher chance you will stop and seek help sooner.

If you are the latter your more likely to create more damage over the long term.

I hope this helps

I just want to know your opinions, because maybe I'm one of those people, who always said that I'm not addicted to gambling, but the truth is I just denied it to myself that I was gradually becoming addicted to gambling... and maybe I just denied it so I can't hear a negative comments from people

Denial is a very common defense mechanism. Many people who develop addictions, including gambling addition, have to go through the stage of denying the problem, which is mostly because of the fear of the judgment or the stigma. I highly recommend that you contact a mental health practitioner or a gambling support group. This will require guidance, support, and resources from others.

Well then perhaps, it is the beginning of an addiction if you reach the point where you are rejecting it. Gambling addiction, like other forms of addiction, is a complex issue. This is why everyone should always set boundaries whenever there are some new things they want to try. Always keep in mind that getting too much is bad. Just play responsibly and get some help.

I really appreciate your honesty and self-awareness. Recognizing and admitting that there might be a problem with something as addictive as gambling is a significant step. It's common for people to initially deny or downplay issues to avoid negative comments or judgments. Remember that your well-being is what matters most, and there are resources and support available if you decide to seek help or make changes. It's important to prioritize your health and happiness above all else.

Well yes it could be . People are actually bias . We are lying to ourselves because we don't wanna admit that we are addicted and we don't wanna hear anything bad from other people , also when the person has no plan of stopping yet . But I respect to those who admit that they are addicted and face the consequences and taking treatment to overcome the addiction.
