Answer by jazzing
Before you gamble just think about what you’re doing to yourself and the people you love if you have a gambling problem. If that isn’t enough to make you stop you should go to gamblers anonymous or seek professional help.

Gambling Addiction
Compulsive gambling, also known as gambling addiction, has many of the same indicators, behaviors and consequences associated with other addictions – drug, alcohol, etc. Gambling addicts have been found in casinos, at racetracks, in neighborhood poker games (and anywhere one can place a bet) for many centuries. Compulsive gambling has been on the rise (at a fast clip) for the past decade or so, mostly due to the introduction of online gambling.

As with many addictions, sometimes recovery is only possible once the gambler hits hard rock bottom. At this point they may become willing to acknowledge their problem and to ask for help. Treatment centers, addiction therapy and Gambler’s Anonymous have all provided millions of addicts a way to begin recovery. Little can be done, however, if the addict does not admit powerlessness and ask for help.
