Problem Gambling Signs to Watch For
It helps to look out for warning signs before gambling becomes a serious issue. Go over these signals to check your gambling habits:
- Breaking your preset time or money limits regularly
- You chase after losses by betting more to win back money
- Important responsibilities like work or family get pushed aside for gambling
- Lying about how much you gamble or spend to others
- Feeling edgy or irritable when you can’t place bets
- Selling possessions or borrowing money to keep up gambling activities
- Gambling serves as an escape from stress or personal troubles
- Close relationships break down because of gambling habits
If multiple signs ring true for you, it might be time to reach out for professional help. Many counseling resources exist to help deal with these behaviors. Support options are ready for anyone facing gambling-related problems.
