Controlling Compulsive Gambling Habits
Overview
Visiting a casino with excitement, only to leave disappointed because the bets didn’t go your way, is a common experience among gamblers. This article offers various strategies to manage and control compulsive gambling habits, for everyone from casual players to high rollers.
Approach Gambling as Entertainment
First, always treat gambling as a recreational activity meant for fun, not as a way to earn money. Before you step into a casino, remind yourself: “I’m here to have fun, not to make money. Win or lose, my goal is to enjoy myself.” Adopting this mindset helps mitigate anger and disappointment when bets don’t pan out.
Set a Monetary Limit
Determine how much money you can afford to lose before you visit the casino. Stick to this limit to ensure gambling doesn’t negatively impact your financial stability. Once you’ve reached this limit, stop, so any loss is within your means.
Control Your Cash Flow
Bring only the amount you’ve decided to gamble with and enough for other necessary expenses. For instance, if you plan to gamble with $20, don’t carry $500. Leave ATM and credit cards at home to avoid the temptation to spend more than planned.
Establish Time Constraints
Decide how often you’ll visit casinos and how much time you’ll spend gambling. Gambling for extended periods often increases the likelihood of losing. Casinos rarely have clocks for a reason?"they want players to lose track of time. By setting a time limit, you can guard against this tactic.
Avoid Alcohol
Alcohol impairs judgment and can lead to more reckless gambling. While a couple of drinks to relax might be fine, avoid drinking to the point where clarity is compromised.
Explore Other Activities
Diversify your recreational activities. Don’t give up gambling entirely, but consider it as just one option among many. For example, visit the casino on Friday and catch a movie on Saturday.
Seek Help if Needed
If gambling begins to control your life despite these strategies, seek assistance from organizations like Gamblers Anonymous, which can provide the support you need.
By incorporating these strategies, you can enjoy gambling responsibly while maintaining control over your habits.
