I Need Help With Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Some common warning signs include:
Spending more money or time gambling than intended.
Trying to win back money that has already been lost.
Hiding gambling activities from family and friends.
Borrowing money or struggling to pay bills because of gambling.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to stop.
Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities.
Using gambling to escape stress, depression, or other problems.
Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or quit.
You don’t have to experience every warning sign to need help. Recognizing a problem early can prevent more serious consequences.
