Another clear sign that you may have a gambling problem is when you start going on a regular basis and that you can't seem to say no. You don't want to skip a week at the casino because your friends go or it has become a habit. This can be terribly detrimental to a person, because they will continuously go to try and win, but find that they are losing more in the end. It is a good idea to write down how much you spend, if you win, and how much you lose. When you have this in writing it will help you to stay away when it is not economically feasible for you to go all the time.
For another way to notice that you might have a problem is to see what you do when you are at the casino. Do you spend all of your time on the machines or at the tables? The casinos try to offer plenty of other opportunities to experience fun when you are there. That is why there are restaurants, bars, live entertainment and in many casinos shops that you can browse in. They want you to enjoy yourself, so if you are having a bad run of luck at the machines or tables, it is a good idea to get up and roam around and see all the rest of the fun the casinos have to offer you.
One last sign that could be the start of a problem is if you get mad at the machines when you are losing, or put a curse on them. Many people do this for fun, but those that habitually do this might forget the fact that most people do not win. It is fun to play and better to win, but there are no promises made.
Gambling is fun. The casinos are gorgeous and worth attending. Try to always go with spare money to lose and hope that you win. It will make all the difference for you when you are out enjoying all the festivities that the casinos have to offer. By keeping track of your winnings and if you have lost you will be able to enjoy more time at the casinos with a lot less stress. It will just be a lot of fun, which in fact it should always be.

Post a CommentI am a recovering alcoholic, gambler, and other addiction problems. I published a book, Gripped by Gambling, where the readers can follow the destructive path of the compulsive gambler, a prison sentence, and then on to the recovery road. I am currently publishing a second book, Switching Addictions, that describes the challenges the addict encounters as they work toward recovery. I also publish an online newsletter, Women Helping Women, which has been on-line for more than ten years and is read by women around the world. I would like to suggest you add the link to the newsletter to your link page. (www.femalegamblers.info)
Sincerely,
