- Wednesday, 17 May 2006
Do go about gambling with your own money only. You should avoid borrowing money for your gambling habit at all costs. If you lose money that is not yours to begin with, the chances are that you will begin a downward spiral journey towards addiction. Don’t drink alcohol when gambling. Keep your wits about you by staying in focus at all times. Drinking alcohol or taking drugs will only fuzz up your better judgment and cause you to lose.
Do keep a weekly record of your winnings and losses. This will help you stay on top of your gambling habit and see whether your gambling strategy is working or not. Avoiding cold facts like the proverbial ostrich will only cause you go deeper into debt. Don’t undertake any gambling until you have paid all household expenses. Food, rent and utility expenses are not wagering money. Once you have finished paying for what you need to, you will know how much is left over for the casinos.
Do seek help if you feel that your gambling habit is getting out of control. There are many different ways to treat gambling addiction and all you need to do is search for the right one. Don’t keep your gambling problems a secret, especially from your loved ones. They will be only too happy to reach out and lend a hand.
