Well, i'm addicted to gambling and i also often late when go to the university. I also even can't continue my college 1 year because of gambling. Gambling is really give a bad affect into my life. Thank god, gambling never affect my work because i always serious when it comes into work.
Oh good thing you'd be able to stop your gambling addiction. I have a friend that continue being like that and he still not yet learned his lesson even he almost lose his family and he's totally fucked up. He can't work for a living and still rely on his parent's money. This really pissed me off like he can't get a life for god's sake.
As for me, didn't experience this yet as I can control and manage my time and I know my priorities as well.
