I am often late from work due to gambling. Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling?
Oh god, are you serious? How can this happen to you? I mean, why are you so addicted to do it? If i gamble, i do it at night, i would never be late for work just because i wanted to play a dice.
I am just being realistic, this is just what a normal person would do..
You can not leave your responsabilities only because you wanted to have fun and make a little profit from a bet (that you probably lost too)
You need to stop it.
Well addiction is the cause for sure. Why would anyone want to gamble so much to the point that you are already getting late for important stuff. Gambling should be a past time and nothing more, it is not something that should rule your world. No one should be so in to it that you lose time for anything else. That is clear signs of an addiction. If anyone is in this situation, the first thing you should do is admit you have an addiction, and then get help.
