If you feel like it’s not a just your hobby anymore, if it leads to problems in a relationship, if you want to hide the very fact that you are playing, you might have a gambling addiction. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, it’s just a problem to solve. If you want to stop, follow these steps:
define the reason why you cannot control the impulse to play;
find something that will bring you the same emotions but in a healthier way;
don’t hesitate to ask your relatives and friends to help you;
join Gamblers Anonymous.
