So far i've been playing for more than a year and i haven't been fallen to that kind of situation just like you OP. I am just playing gambling because i want to entertain myself and i like to socialize a little since my kind of work is kind of stressful. I always set my bankroll specifically gambling only whether i win or lose as long as i am contented with the company.
Sometimes it's hard to control once you felt that you aren't satisfied with what the result due to the unlucky days but i just take a deep breath and i call it a day.
Topic: Does gambling affect your overall lifestyle? - page 3. (Read 6439 times)
I've definitely experienced times where I gambled more than I should have, but not in a way that it changed my lifestyle.
What I did when that happened, was take a break from gambling for a couple of months, which seemed to work out quite alright.
Now I just stick to my budget and do not gamble on certain days.

I would try to follow your strategy, if that works for you, maybe it would work for me too.
I have experience the same, betting more than I should have, but I can't be too discipline to have a break for at least a month, even weeks, I can't.
Maybe a day or 2 would do but that's the maximum, maybe I'm just easily get tempted as most of time are spent in front of my computer.
What about before when you were a noob on the gambling world ? All of us will be addicted on it for the first time but eventually it will past out . your also playing on sports , sports based gambling were enjoyable and profitable than casino ones but its strange why it didnt affect any of your lifestyle .
Even when I was a beginner I never had such addictions. I used to go for 2-3 months without gambling when I was busy and then when I got bored I bet on sports every day of the week. As easy as I started it I also ended it. Yeah, most of the time it doesn't cross my mind even when i'm bored. I guess gambling roots itself on just certain kind of people, not everyone. And though we can say that many people are putting gambling high in their priorities, not all of them are willing to compromise the more important things like family and career.

That's would be too unrealistic if we try to think that we can make gambling as our source of income, even those people who are good in gambling does not all think that way. It's a hard mission and based on percentage that most of us loses in the long run, that's like an impossible mission. Considering my losses and my gains, my experience will be tagged positive (sweet).
Good for you because only few gamblers are having a profit in gambling, regardless of the time period. legendary

To me, gambling had the power to drag me in death's mouth by ruining everything for me due to my own false decisions, did you have the same experiences - bitter or sweet, you would want to share? I would point it out like this:
To me the effect hasn't be that negative as I haven't loss to the extend I'll have to regret gambling in the first place. I'm not the type that engage in gambling regular although that doesn't mean I hate it. I gamble for the fun and don't see it as a source of income, I guess people get affected negatively because they consider gambling as a source of income and get attached, resulting to gamble addiction.

Gambling, you can control it, or gambling can control you. It`s not good when you don`t have control over your actions, that`s not good in any case, especially in gambling. If you don`t control yourself you can lose a lot of money, with losing a lot of money many other problems will appear. A proper bankroll manager isn`t good just for gambling, you need to know how to take care of your money, your incomes, and your expenses. Bankroll management is essential if you are a gambler, trader, investor, and before you get into the fire with big amounts try to learn more about bankroll management.
Gambling doesn`t affect my lifestyle in a negative way, cause I never spent more than I can afford to lose. Gambling is entertainment, I win and lose, I have fun doing all that. If I notice that gambling starts to affect my life in a negative way, I would think about leaving it for good.

You have done a lot of things and gambled with a plan.That is good but I think you are single as a married person has no time to keep that focused on gambling because the physical time simply isn't enough and it will impact your life negatively,your family life.
Will that affect our lifestyle especially when are addicted to gambling. Not only the time spend into our family but also in our job. Basically, this is a common thing to happen when we fall into gambling and could it best if we help ourself before it getting worse.
I know gambling is risky and some people does not want to take risk as they are seeing worst possibilities that could happen if they will stick with gambling, but that's them, we have our own choice and we make our own destiny.
As for me, gambling is fan as long as you are always in control.

as long as I play gambling, I always lose, and that of course has a bad impact on my life.
You should stop gambling, you are not have fun when you always loss every time you gamble, just focus your time in other things because gambling is not good for you. Gambling is suppose to be fun and even if we lose most of the time but at least we will experience some winning moment. 
Of course, there is an impact, you cannot go on having a great lifestyle buying all the things that you want and at the same time losing a lot of money from gambling, and you can buy all you want to travel to a place you've dreamed of if you won a big amount of money, it does have an impact.
it certainly will have an impact when you lose a large number, or win in large numbers. but, as long as I play gambling, I always lose, and that of course has a bad impact on my life. that might happen mostly to people around me. for now, I choose to monitor this, and see the effects that occur on people. 
In general, gambling does affect gambler's lifestyle. It affects both when gamblers win a lot as well as when gamblers lose too much. When gamblers won huge then it will bring them to spend the money into something that they have never experienced before, while when gamblers lose too much then it will bring them into situation that force them to reduce the money for daily needs especially if they lost more than what they cant afford to lose. I believe it has been suggested many times before that we should have our own limit as well as our own target.
Not only the gambler's lifestyle is affected. The sad truth is that, those people around him are also affected. Especially when the gambler is already addicted. When he wins, he craves for more; when he loses, he gets depressed. The tendency, he forgets the things and persons that matter more. That's why self-control is very necessary in gambling so that when things go wrong, at least one is still able to minimize the loss instead of maximizing them.
Of course, there is an impact, you cannot go on having a great lifestyle buying all the things that you want and at the same time losing a lot of money from gambling, and you can buy all you want to travel to a place you've dreamed of if you won a big amount of money, it does have an impact.
If you are using the money that needs to be used for paying bills or needs to be used for buying the things on gambling then it will change your lifestyle into upsside down.Remember you need to go for gambling only if you have spare money to spend for the entertainment.Perhaps, we need to allocate some money for playing gambling, so we don't change the amount of money to paying bills. But no matter you play gambling or not, your lifestyle will change, and it cost more money if you want to follow the new trends. But it is better if you can limit the funds you use for gambling because the losing money will make you desperate in a long time, especially if you lose too big money. By limiting the money, you will have more money to be saved for another thing.

Not at all.
I just started gambling out of curiosity and lucky for me, I didn't get addicted into it and I can control myself. I will gamble when I feel that I want too and vice versa. I know that there are some here that has changed their lifestyle and spend most of the time gambling and got lost.

Yes, I have gone through those times because in the end or now I am no longer dependent on gambling. In the past, lifestyle gambling will indeed change, regardless of what we get from gambling, if it wins, of course it will make us feel comfortable with life that seems to be fulfilled from the income obtained from gambling. But when the losses are obtained, the lifestyle will be more difficult with a lot of debt everywhere. That is a story that at least I experienced in the past.
I dont know why people do really end up on considering gambling as an option for them to reach out a convenient lifestyle.Yes it can give out big amounts on an instant way but this also give outs the negative ones which makes you experience being poor instead on getting rich.There are other options or paths to take rather than using gambling to fulfill your dreams.
