Do you have a gambling problem?

July 30, 2020 by Steph Leave a Comment

If you’re concerned that your gambling hobby may have developed into an unhealthy addiction, you’ve come to the right place. As listed below are a few questions to ask yourself to figure out if you have a gambling problem.

Do you think about gambling numerous times per day?

If you find yourself obsessing about gambling, multiple times throughout each day, there’s a high likelihood that you have developed a serious gambling addiction. Especially if you think about gambling, more often than you think about your friends, family members, career and hobbies. If you find yourself thinking about making a bet, when you’re loading your dishwasher or commuting to work, it’s well worth seeking help for your gaming addiction.

Do you spend money which you’ve set aside for necessities on gambling?

If you start spending money which you’ve put aside for rent, groceries or your mortgage on gambling, it’s a sign that your brain has started to prioritize gambling over your life. Especially if you borrow money to gamble or use your credit cards in order to place bets. If you have spent money which is set aside for your necessities to gamble, it’s well worth seeking professional help as a problem gambler.

Are you honest about your gambling habits?

If you try to cover up the frequency of your gambling or the amount of money which you spend on gambling with your partner, friends or family members, there’s also a high chance that you’ve grown addicted to gambling.

Have you increased the amount of money which you spend gambling?

Many individuals who develop a gambling addiction, first started off betting small amounts and over time grew addicted to spending larger amounts. As most gamblers, keep seeking to experience the thrill which they first experienced the first time that they won a jackpot or a bet. Unfortunately it’s too uncommon for gamblers to grow tired of placing small bets and to gravitate to making larger and larger bets. Which will ultimately cause them to lose larger and larger sums of money.

Have you ever gambled in order to win enough money to clear your outstanding debt?

If you’ve gotten into serious debt as a result of your gambling addiction, you may have started to gamble larger amounts in the hopes of winning enough money to clear all of your outstanding debts. The issue with this strategy is that you’re highly unlikely to win the amount of money which you require to clear your debts. As the house always wins. Worse yet, if you do manage to win a large sum of money, you’ll be highly tempted to spend it on a large bet in order to multiply your winnings. Which could cause you to lose all the money which you had won in an instant.

So if you answered yes to any of the questions which were listed above, it’s highly likely that you have developed a serious gambling problem, which can adversely affect every area of your life. The good news is that no matter how addicted to gambling you are, it’s possible to recover from your addiction and to rebuild your life again.
