March is National Gambling Addiction Month
/Gambling in moderation is socially acceptable. Many people enjoy gambling, whether it's playing the lottery, betting on a horse, playing a football pool, or playing poker and most people who gamble don't have a problem. However, some people become addicted and a gambling addiction, if left untreated, can destroy lives.
Signs of problem gambling include
- Always thinking about gambling
- Lying about gambling
- Spending work or family time gambling
- Feeling bad after you gamble, but not quitting
- Gambling with money you need for other things
