You would have never became aware about the consequences of gambling until you have tasted it on your own and now, I think you are better aware from your homes about the consequences of gambling in your life. You are saying that you became silent for a week or so when you firstly gambled. I think you would have lost your first ever game in gambling and not knowing what to do, you just became silent.

Gambling had really bad social consequence on me i became completely silent for a week and didn't know what yo do i decided to gamble again but finally i was able to have control over myself and decided to quit gambling
Currently i don't have much regret and i was luckily able to move on and haven't gamble yet and hopefully don't plan to do so in the near future as well

Even if you give so big details,the gambler will always play gambling until he is not finish his bankroll. So in simple words everyone know about it even then they gamble

I suspect gambling could have positive effects. It could help people manage money better and not give in to impulsive tendencies. There isn't a significant difference between gambling and investing. There is a degree of risk inherent in everything which can't be eliminated. The best we might hope for is to learn to mitigate that risk and that could take practice, which gambling could provide.

I like how gambling allows a person to validate their beliefs in terms of what the end outcome of something will be. That type of self discovery and challenging of one's own preconceptions can be a learning experience. Learning how to cope with defeat and losing also can be a plus in terms of gaining maturity and learning to be level headed and not allow emotions or greed to cloud owns judgement.

All of the above are my aspirations as far as gambling goes. And of course, the intent to make money and profit matters as well.

You can say or talk consequences if you judge them but if they know it already that's not consequences because they already know what they do everytime they play gambling actually your post OP is so constructive but for me gambling are only for fun and past time because it's risky do better to not do it to earn then win only is just addition to gambling's fun

Well, people has different we are not the same. How about if I make gambling as my source of income and not for fun only because I am also seeking money, you don't blame me bro as what you've said you can't judge. What we do now is what we reap soon because it has consequences

You really tried and put on an effort by writing this long thesis about the consequences of gambling, though a simple estimated writing would have made reading it better.
The truth still remains that not every gambler will come across this consequences because some gamblers knows when to gamble at the right time and knows when to stop at the right time. They know how much they are putting in and they know and are very good with their tactics. Those who might encounter these are gamblers who just go into it just because they hard someone made money from it.

In gambling many consequences. Actually gambling is for fun. If too much play gambling it will effects can lose many, broken family and many things.
Many people lost big money in gambling, but they still playing and can't control their emotional. Is very dangerous.
We must setup budget for playing gambling.

These stuck out to me, because I see these ugly traits daily in my job with substance abusers--and gambling can go hand in hand with that, though not a lot of the people I see are problem gamblers.  But I think the basic disorder is much the same and produces a lot of the same effects.  When you've got an addiction, your brain adapts and does everything it can to protect the addiction, and part of that is isolating emotionally from people who are going to try to *force* you to get help.  That's usually your loved ones.  So problem gamblers have to do a lot of lying, manipulating, cheating, stealing, and everything else that substance abusers do.  Plus for whatever reason they feel like they're gods in their own heads.

Decent thread, OP.  There are probably at least 200 people who are already members here who should read this.  But just like with the alcoholic, it likely won't help anyway.   When you've had enough, you (and only you) have had enough.  There aren't enough words or love in the world that'll be enough to get you to stop until you're ready.

I would argue that gambling is fun at first, and it can give you "quick income" but that it morphs into something else entirely after you cross the line into problem gambling.  Even drugs and alcohol start off fun.  If they weren't, there wouldn't be problems with addiction.

I guess gambling can also be profitable if you know your self limits.But when you become addicted to it,that's the time its consequences appear.Of course we know it already before we go into gambling but sometimes we chose to be hard headed just to follow our own interest.Good to know you 're minimizing it already.Atleast you're thinking for your own good sake.

My question is -
______________
Has gambling left a trace on you; if it has which consequences are you experiencing right now?
