Recognizing Problem Gambling (Warning Signs)
It is essential to be aware of the signs of problem gambling. Some warning signs include:
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money
- Becoming restless or irritable when attempting to cut down on gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness
- Neglecting personal and professional responsibilities due to gambling
- Chasing losses or lying about gambling habits
Self-Assessment Tools/Questions
To help you evaluate your gambling habits, consider the following questions:
- Do you often gamble more than you can afford to lose?
- Do you feel anxious or stressed when you think about your gambling?
- Have you ever missed work or social obligations due to gambling?
- Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are not playing?
Setting Personal Limits
