When you start missing work or not showing up to events on time or sometimes not going at all. These are all signs. Also lack of personal hygiene can be for a serious addiction because it's not your priority. Your priority is to gamble and if you are staying up late to gamble often like maybe every second night then that is a huge problem. When it gets in the way of relationships and worst of all when you spend money you can't afford to lose that is when you know you have serious addiction. Recognizing your own addiction is very hard though and it mostly only becomes apparent when someone confronts you about it.

The most obvious symptom of any addiction is that you cannot get it out of your mind. You will keep on planning about certain things regarding the same activity and try to figure out your mistakes. Other than that, if someone wants to realize his condition, he must simply stop gambling for some days. If he successfully does that, he is not an addict but any sort of trouble in it will be an indication of addiction.

It's hard enough to admit your dependence on gambling, but if a person can not live a day without a game, then this is a clear sign of a beginning or long-term dependence.

That is the first sign, though you cannot tell it yourself that you are addicted to it, but your friends, parents, loved ones and other people. After that, you will be starting to find your own ways to gamble even you don't have enough money, you might either borrow money or create a crime to gamble.

yeah a lot of factor causing people get addicted to gambling , but you can easily identify wether you become an addict or not , if you think you gamble feel like a hobby and do it everyday / frequently enough and always looking to get recover what you have lost. simply take a look to yourself and say that you would never make it happen

If you are already an addicted gambler you wont really able to realize such thing because you would really still think that you are not addicted to it but in the eyes of other people you are already hooked by gambling addiction.Playing it on daily basis or making it as a habit inspite of loses does really signifies that you are already suffering on such addiction.

no , you can always realize it early . whenever you think you have no idea for what reason you come to a casino to gamble, you might could feel how addicted you are to keep coming back even though you don't want to do it , but your brain always suggest you to go for it. then you have to consider that something wrong with you , is it gambling addiction that a lot of people talking about? well just keep asking yourself.

Actually the gambler will always insist to himself that he has everything under control and that he will quit whenever he wants and that's self denial . As times goes on and the gambler is heavily in debt he will still say to himself that he can win the money back but that never happens.

Well that's a pity and many find themselves this way but still don't realize that they are addicted. I don't think many addicted gamblers are able to tell if they are addicted themselves but rather close associates because they keep believing they are going to win and that chain cycle continues.

They can't tell or they're in denial that they're addicted. People who want to get out will find ways to get get out but ge first part would to be to admit to one's self that they have a problem. If not, then addiction will root itself more to a person

A person who is addicted to gambling will feel that he will not feel happy if he does not gamble. He will feel that he is losing something and gambling is the only thing that can make him calm. Though they should know that gambling is a risky thing and when they can not control then their lives will only depend on the decisions they make.

Even he know that gambling is effecting his life too much, still he is not ready to accept that fact and he is pretending and giving argument to himself that for the next time he will surely make a good profit, but for every time he do not succeeded and for the most of time he lose his money.

That is why people should never believe that gambling is a way to profit. In the end, they will end up not being able to get out of their addiction and worse out of debt because they incurred so much debts in gambling because of the fact that he firmly believes that he will profit and get back all the money he lost. That's far too common in the gambling world.

You cannot argue with a man that is addicted to something. He will not stop until he gets what he is addicted in. This is true in gambling as well. So far , from what they are doing, there will be more and more gambling addicts since there is no responsible gambler policy in most gambling sites since they want more gamblers to play.

I just want to ask how would you know if a person is suffering from gambling addiction. Can you guys tell me the signs of it?

Its not really hard to figure it out. If a person is ready to gamble even after losing all he had before some time, or if a person cannot do anything else until he gambles some of his money, or if a person is ready to sell anything for the sake of gambling the amount, it means the person is suffering from the addiction of gambling.

The symptoms must be same. But some players will play gambling every day but they will they are not addicted to gambling. in some condition we have to accept this because they are not addicted to losing money they will be addicted to playing games, and they can have control of their games. So here a bit difficult to find out who are addicted and who are not. But in one condition we can believe that they are addicted which is means if any one started to sell his assets to play gambling than 100% sure he/she is addicted to gambling.

If someone keeps on repeating his action on daily basis, it is impossible that he does not become an addict. The only thing is that a person can control his activities and might stop gambling anytime he wants to because of his strong senses and self control but his mind would keep thinking about it for some days.

An addict himself is not aware of his condition but the person around him can highlight such behavior easily. Anyone who is repeating a certain act means he cannot live without doing it.

Gambling addicts also get so much involved in this game that they never realize it and once they do, it is too late. We must take a review of our whole day before sleeping.

What is really funny is that sometimes addicts are always aware of their predicaments but they just cannot help stopping it most times. There is always this feeling that gushes inside them like, yes, there is still a possibility, I can still win it. Once I win this, I will just stop and they keep seeing themselves coming back.

Ask so many addicts today, they will tell you they have wanted to stop so many times, but they just don't know how they keep finding themselves back at the same spot. You can easily tell when such situation is happening, most especially when you are draining yourself emotionally, physically, financially and other necessary-ally but you still keep doing the same thing over and over again.

the first to happen to someone who is addicted to gambling is: the person has no passion for work, he always hopes for glory at gambling and doesn't want to work anymore. I also feel that way.
the second: after the many defeats in the gamble and forced to owe, then the gambling addicted person, must get out of gambling with a lot of owe, while he has stopped working. at that time, there was not even the spirit to work and pay the bills. I also felt that way.
it will be very suffered

There is one sign that a person got an addiction, and that is he loses control. He cannot control himself and will always follow the urge to gamble. Eventhough we wanted to stop, we cannot stop ourselves once gambling urges hits us. And when we failed to gamble for sometime, we can feel some withdrawal syndrom which is evident to those who have addiction and under medication.

That means we are in great danger so it's better to quit gambling completely to avoid losing big money.
Everyone must be responsible to avoid addiction and with our will to win more money that would lead us to be addicted as every time we are challenge by our loses we tend to make a new strategy and use that immediately, we didn't notice anymore that we are spending enough time which gives us more attachment to gambling.

Well based on experts, addicted gambler would never admit that he is suffering from addiction. He is always in denial even it came from his close friends or family that he's really addicted. It should be treated early before it becomes worse.

According to Michael Vlach in his book Chance to Change, "Most problem gamblers are in denial. They have a cancer called gambling addiction that is killing them, and they refuse to see it. Those closest to the gambler clearly see it, but the gambler says, 'I don't have a gambling problem.'"

Gambling and lying go hand and hand. It's natural for those addicted in gambling to lie because they don't see the reality. They should embrace the truth that they really have gambling addiction and that should be treated immediately.

Yeah, i extremely agree with you, it is right point that every addicted gamble not tell to others, and also not accept in ourself that he has been addiction of gambling. He always deny to accept it, it is our judgmental that we could guess that he has been addicted. But only few sensible gamblers who see the destroy his life and realize it is because of addiction then he try to left it, but the number of these sensible gamblers are very less.
