I guess I am not that much addicted but when I lose, somehow in my mind, I try to get back what I have lost. That's what can't get me out of this. I have a good self-control while gambling, but when I lose, I can't do it properly. That urge to get back what I have lost is a real pain in the ass when you are gambling. Other than that, everything works out great if I can plan it beforehand.
Planning gambling is one form of addiction that you already have to gambling. I had the same problem, but now those feelings no longer drive me to gamble more.
After all, you shouldn't gamble to chase losses, that is the least recommended thing to do when you lose. Recovering losses after you lose will increase other losses even though in some cases it is not always the same between one gambler and another. But if you're gambling for fun, then I don't think there's any reason for you to recover your losses.
