I have come up with a list of signs that can identify whether or not you have a gambling problem.
- Always thinking about gambling
- Using gambling as an escape route from a problem life may throw at you
- Betting more than you can afford
- Trying to control your gambling habbit but fail to keep on top of it
- You become irritable when you're not gambling
- You find yourself trying to make up money you have lost through gambling, chasing losses as such
- You find yourself lying about how bad you are addicted to gambling
- You have financial problems that have come as a result of gambling
- The amount of money and frequency you gamble has put relationships into jeopardy
If you feel that any of these problems describe you then you may have a gambling problem but there are people who want to help gamblers beat their habbit.
Gamcare are one of the biggest organisations when it comes to help gamblers overcome their problems and offer counselling, advice and information for anyone experiencing or effected by gambling problems.
You can find help from Gamcare here.
