Recognizing Problem Gambling (Warning Signs)
It's important to be aware of the signs that may indicate a gambling problem. Here are some common warning signs:
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money.
- Restlessness or irritability when attempting to cut down or stop gambling.
- Gambling to escape from problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness.
- Jeopardizing or losing a significant relationship, job, or education opportunity due to gambling.
- Concealing the extent of your gambling from family and friends.
Self-Assessment Tools/Questions
To better understand your gambling habits, consider the following questions:
- Do you often think about gambling or plan your next gambling venture?
- Have you ever felt guilty about your gambling?
- Have you ever lied to conceal the extent of your gambling?
- Do you borrow money to gamble or pay off gambling debts?
