Guest Jake. Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 This is taken from the NHS website . Are you a problem gambler? Do you bet more than you can afford to lose? Do you need to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling? Have you tried to win back money you have lost (chasing losses)? Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble? Have you wondered whether you have a problem with gambling? Has your gambling caused you any health problems, including feelings of stress or anxiety? Have other people criticised your betting or told you that you had a gambling problem (regardless of whether or not you thought it was true)? Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your household? Have you ever felt guilty about the way you gamble or what happens when you gamble? Score 0 for each time you answer "never" Score 1 for each time you answer "sometimes" Score 2 for each time you answer "most of the time" Score 3 for each time you answer "almost always" If your total score is 8 or higher, you may be a problem gambler. http://www.gamcare.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades111 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 another question that should be added ;- have you ever lied to people/partners to cover up your gambling ? i know i did on a daily basis , its certainly nothing to be proud of , but i believe problem gamblers eventually end up becoming compulsive liers , it just goes with the territory im afraid . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on shades. I could have answered most of them questions yes in the past if I was being honest. As you say nothing to be proud of but if gambling gets a hold on you it's very difficult to break the downward cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeWbZs Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I score zero on most questions, but I score 3 on guilt and 3 on higher amounts. I am now on a 3 month stop, hopefully those 3's become zero's agian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanHatton Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'm confused to why the scores wasn't mentioned before I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangers Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I had a toe operation a few weeks ago and was handed 3 things just before they let me go home, they handed me 4 dressings and a leaflet on care and a prescription to hand in to my Doctor for more dressings. The prescription was for 10 dressings but the leaflet of care states my wound will take approximately 7-8 weeks before it stops weeping and to change the dressing every 2 days So 14 dressings in total to cover 7-8 weeks They should learn to count before they put up a score system for gambling Should they have gave me 14 dressings @ 8/1 or 20 dressings @ 9/2 - Or 24 Dressings at 5/4 Fav I only Gamble to stop the voices in my head Edited August 2, 2018 by Bangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Phil Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Welshman, If you do want to stop then there has (genuinely) never been a better time. With so many traditional gambling outlets closed (pubs, bookies & casinos), you ONLY have to worry about online gambling. Gamstop will take care of that and, as an added layer of protection, why not withdraw and keep any spare money in cash. You can still use cash in most places but it's virtually impossible to lose it gambling at the moment. Obviously this will change but it buys you some time to get other blocks in place. If you genuinely want to make a start then don't hesitate to message me any time. All the best - Phil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good contents. Keep it up. It is said that it takes 21 days to break a habit of anything habitual and for some instances this is true. For gambling addiction it is a life long journey along with alcoholism. For anyone with gambling addiction impacting time, relationships, work ... the list goes on then use the triangle method.

Reach out, cut off the time money and location and tell your loved ones and friends. I agree. From my experience, quitting gambling will obviously take more than 21 days, that's for sure. I would say that if you can stay 1 year gamble free, I promise to anyone who want to be free from this evil addiction that they will get amazing results in their lives. Yes, I've said only 1 year gamble free in order to change your life for the better. But you will have to be careful for the rest of your life because you won't be cured from gambling. You have to life without gambling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
