As being a recovering gambling addict, I can tell you how it was being an addicted gambler. I haven't gambled now for almost 2 years, keeping myself busy with studies and work to not let myself gamble.

• Addicts do have a social life and Party a lot but it slowly disappears overtime.
• Addicts do know that gambling is bad for them.
• Me, Being an online Gambler, was addicted to machines and not the cards or real life roulettes, so are most of the Addicts.
• Addicts suffer from Depression.
• Addicts become emotionally Numb.
• We all remember the wins and not the losses.

If you are a Gambling addict too, My Advice : Find something else to do you really like.
