Reflective inquiries
Reflect on these inquiries regarding your gambling practices:
- Do you participate in gambling as a way to distract yourself from challenges or to alleviate feelings of guilt, anxiety, uneasiness, or sadness?
- Have your gambling habits caused you to neglect other activities?
- Have you lied to your family or others to hide your gambling activities?
- Have you tried to control, restrict, or stop gambling without success?
- Are you willing to take greater risks with your money in order to experience the excitement you crave?
If you have responded positively to any of these questions, it is recommended that you seek the advice of a specialist.
