Took the test...."Most compulsive gamblers will answer 'Yes' to at least 7 of these questions." I answered "Yes" to 10 of them but I don't feel I have a REAL problem other than spending too much time gambling when I could be spending more time with my family and friends. Good thread though....I have some experience so I will participate. I don't think gambling is wrong if it's done responsibly....so I can provide some insight into that general area....hopefully not in a negatively enabling way.

I do take the test too and just had 1 yes answer. Well I guess we never knew that we are already a compulsive gambler until it is late. It seems there are basis why they say that way.

Nope, i'm not a problematic gambler. i used to be one, but now i'm not. i didn't really required anyone else but myself to get on track. if you really decide to quit/control gambling, you can do it all by yourself!

I agree it all start in ourselves but sometimes there are cases that we are too attached to something that we need an extra help from specialist and our family. Though I believe we also need determination and perseverance in order to recover our self control.

Gambling would be a problem if it disrupted our finances considerably and took up most of our time. So far, I am still within reasonable limits and I declare myself that I have no gambling problem.

I am not and will never be a problem gambler, I don't even consider myself a full time gambler and I don't gamble week in and week out. I only bet when the probability of winning exceeds 75%.

Lying is most efficient with these kind of question, admitting that they were having trouble with gambling is most likely the main problems of gamblers, so sometimes this thing dont help, but this might help to build up a good community here, so good idea tho.

I'm not a problem gambler but I can help those in that situation with advice on how I managed to gamble over the years without problems or addiction. I have psyched up myself and don't panic because I lost but I follow my plan and specific bankroll over a period and it works great. No greed on my part and of course no anxiety.

I think this is a good way to help people with gambling problem, a lot of people not realizing they have problem until it is too late, and the question in that site really help someone to determine whether he / she need help from expert or not and I had 9 yes answer from the question

most people who have gamble for years and make it as a source of income will surely had more than 7 yes answer , as they gamble in regular time hard to avoid the fact that the chance for people who did it won't get addicted and had a serious gambling problem.

keep telling the bad things that could happened because gambling are of course better rather than lure people with a good winning story to play.

I just did answer the 20 questions on the link given and the results is 4 yes which can be called as compulsive gambler and the result is actually right since i dont really gamble too much which those things mentioned or ask are characteristics of a gambling addict. Support would really be needed when you dont know already what to do but first we should realized or help ourselves to quit gambling for good.

Gambling is addictive thing which is followed and invest the fund unwantedly in the any mode such as casino, betting, games or more. People will continuously invest the bitcoin whenever they see lose or profit. Once they will become a empty pocket in that. Then only they will realize to move out of gambling,

Absolutely big no. Because at first I am not a gambler. I think when you are a problem gambler you are not going to look upon what you hold or how much you hold. You have lose big bet.

I once had a big problem with gambling addiction, but that's not all because I used to think gambling is the main source of income and can afford to pay all my mortgage debt, big problems happen when I'm not having luck, my misfortune comes not stopping. Finally I sold my wealth assets to cover all the debts and quit all the online businesses in a long time.

But it's all been a thing of the past, now I've come as a more mature person, nothing better than consciousness to learn from mistakes.

Not everybody has a problem gambling, but if you are a problem gambler, there is a support network they may help you. It starts with you recognizing the problem.

Start here:
http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions

Let's work on this together, you're not alone and you don't need to suffer from your addiction. If you have solutions or have the compassion to provide moral support, please help by participating in this thread.

This is quite helpful for most of the gambler who often experience problems. But it is difficult to eliminate this problematic feeling, because that must move and participate it from yourself. So when there is no strong sense of desire from ourselves then we will still find it difficult to get out of problems like addiction. The writing is quite helpful and inspiring of course, the application in life that will determine the good and bad results.

The problem gamblers will not have that much will power to go by themselves that's why they are called as problem gamblers. The site is limited to United States and the gamblers here scattered around the globe, as far as I have seen problem gamblers are very rare in the forum.

I have problem in gambling but not of those of very intensive that needs rehab centers. Most gamblers here are not really into ruining there future but i see it just for fun. Losing an amount for me is bearable but not really in betting money that i cant pay. It's ok for me to lose a weeks earnings as long as i am not in debt. And gamblers like cant be seen or found if forums like these rather maybe in streets or in physical gambling places.

From this problem it is very difficult to leave if a person has a huge dependence on gambling and find something interchangeable is very difficult. I can not even imagine What kind of passion you can have to replace them with gambling.

I'm old fashioned and i find every kind of motivation in my family, and they been there for me so many times when i was in bad situations, so i always find help there at least i get consolations, and peace of mind. sometime maybe they can give good motivation.. Serious problems must be taken seriously, and if you cannot recognize your problems others will, and maybe can help you. But addictions cannot be "cured" without professional help!

I think you are talking about a problematic gambler were people are addicted and they want to stop or quit in gambling there are someone has this part of addiction that they can quit but sooner gamble again.. those people needs help not only their self i think only family and friends can help them for their problematic gambling attitude..
Honestly i was addicted before and stop because i know i am just wasting my time and money but i still gamble it is because gambling are made for fun sometimes i am gamble and sometimes don't in my own i can control my self even i am addicted it is still depends in you if you really want to control your addiction because no once can control your and fight against addiction..

Well i guess personal experience and the power of will are the factors that will help us to overcome this problem since most of the gamblers are not admitting that they already engage and really ruined their lives until they already got nothing inside their pockets, its a nice of you sharing and trying to help how to see more people around who already overcome this gambling issue to proceed and share thier own stories.

Most people don't realize that they do have a gambling problem until the reality hits them. That's when they finally realize that they have fully isolated themselves from people, ruined relationships, and have spent all the savings that he's been preciously holding for years. It's pretty hard to find someone addicted to something that still has a full grasp on reality. Most of them don't see the truth and as long as they are doing the thing they are addicted to, they are going to be fine.

Gamblersanonymous is like AA or alcoholic anonymous. I bet that's where they got the idea.
