Gambling

Taking risk-taking far too far
Most people regulate their behavior when taking serious risks. Not the problem gambler! Problem gamblers are addicted to gambling – as though gambling is a drug. You lose the ability to self-regulate. And might not even recognize that your gambling is out of control, or that it’s causing serious problems for others.

The more fierce the denial, the greater the problem.
Until you start receiving treatment, you may even deny that you have a gambling addiction. Before you know it, you find yourself borrowing , building debts, stealing, desperately seeking bailouts. That’s when it’s time to turn to Smith & Jones. So we can help you overcome your gambling addiction.

More about gambling addiction
Gambling addicts usually gamble with and for money, or risk things that cost money. In the long run, problem gamblers always lose more than they win. Even when you win, it’s hard to stop – and you will most likely find yourself gambling away your winnings.

Do you gamble regardless of the consequences?
To continue gambling, the problem gambler obviously needs more and more money. How do you get more money? Credit card debt, loans, families and friends – you may even resort to theft.

Is gambling all you can think about?
Problem gamblers are preoccupied with gambling. You think about gambling most of the time, and gamble as much as possible. Eventually, it’s all you can think about. Gambling can become a full-time job, a vocation, an ultimate goal and life’s only ambition!
