INTRODUCTION
WE WANT TO THANK you for downloading this eBook, “Gambling Addiction Cure: How To Overcome Gambling For Life”. Through this eBook, we intend to shed some light on the ill effects of gambling and how you can overcome it.
Let us start by asking this question, when was the last time you indulged in gambling? Last month, last week or just a moment back? This seemingly irrelevant question potentially holds the key to unlocking the current status of your mental and financial health.
Gambling is a lot of fun but like all good things it loses its luster when it is employed for devious ends. The line between fun and problem is indeed really thin and it doesn’t take much time to cross over from one end to another.
Only after you have made that jump, do you realize the problems you have landed yourself in. The possibility of being broke and losing your family and any sense of professional stability becomes all too clear in an instant. But by then, gambling has you in its clutches, well and tight and you do not know how to come out of it.
This is when you need a guide and a mentor to take you through this extremely challenging and problematic time. You need someone who can make you aware of the perils that you inevitably have to face and at the same time also give you the means to handle them in an efficient manner.
‘Gambling Addiction Cure: How To Overcome Gambling For Life’ is just this kind of resource, which is written with an intention for you to get total control on your gambling addiction and help you get through it.
CHAPTER 1: IDENTIFYING YOUR GAMBLING PROBLEM
THERE IS A REASON why gambling is notorious. People have suffered tremendous losses while trying their luck with getting quick money. Earlier, there were various options to gamble, like betting on sports, poker games, scratch cards, slots, roulette, poker and casino, which required the gambler to take some time off his schedule to bet. But now gambling is just a click away, with a number of easy-access online gambling sites.
Once a gambler gets into this habit, he may go to great lengths trying his luck, losing his money, property and shares on the way, and yet gamble compulsively. This is how a gambling addict charts his way to destitution.
WHEN GAMBLING IS A PROBLEM, AND WHEN IT BECOMES ADDICTION
There is a simple rule that can help you identify whether gambling has become a problem for you. You can be rest assured that you are an addict when gambling starts causing problems in your life.
However, gambling problem is not the same as addiction to gambling and neither of the two have any connection with monetary self-sufficiency and safety. Therefore, no matter how easily you pay all the money you lose in gambling and no matter how large the amount you can afford to lose, it becomes a problem if it disrupts your daily routine.
You suffer from problem gambling if you show these signs:
Constant preoccupation with gambling
Urge to increase the time and money spent on gambling with every gamble
Constantly chasing losses
Continuing to gamble despite unfavorable consequences
Gambling addiction is a kind of impulse-control disorder. It is also known as compulsive gambling because compulsive (or addicted) gamblers find themselves totally incapable of controlling their impulse to gamble. They see they are hurting themselves, putting their future at risk, preparing for their ruin, but they cannot control the impulse.
