The following
questions have been devised for gamblers to ask themselves:
Have you put at risk important relationships, educational
studies, a job or your career because of gambling?
Do you chase losses by continuing or quickly returning
to gambling when on a losing streak?
When you win do you have a strong desire to return and
win more?
Do you ever gamble until you have completely run out
of money?
Have you lied, stolen or borrowed to get money for gambling?
Are you reluctant to spend gambling money on anything
else?
Do you ever gamble for longer than you had planned?
Do you ever use gambling to escape worry, frustration,
trouble or disappointment in other areas of life?
Do you feel depressed or suicidal because of your gambling?
Have you ever sold your own or your family’s possessions
to pay for your gambling?
The more you answer Yes, the greater likelihood
of a serious gambling problem. Speak to someone about
it. |
