I also had a handful of years in the green from wagering, never bellied up. Got close and learned alot about addiction vs abusing. Controlling my emotions and how they tie to betting was the key to this success. Identified and realized if I was about to bet just because. Rarely even watch if it's not tennis which truly am just a fan.
Was a little more info than you asked, but also learning through the years was key to how this all started in the first place. Being young and in my early 20s, it'd already be emptied.
