Good post Steev. I would add to this. If boredom wasn’t a trigger for someone initially then it could certainly become one as they try to stop.
Gambling takes up a lot of our time and thought. the ac of gambling, planning to gamble, obaining funds to gamble, covering our tracks and more. That is a lot of void to fill when we stop.
Planning our time and filling that void is important. Don’t just sit there not gambling as that is when the boredom will come.
