There are times that whenever your family and your friend advise to you about stopping on gamble, you keep on ignoring them, you do not listen to them anymore even though they care so much to you and when you deny them then you may consider yourself having a compulsive gambling disorder, you don't care anymore to anyone, the only thing you want is gambling.
I suggest that if you feel that you are like that, you may visit some professionals to help you.
This is a must do but if you do not become aware that you are becoming a compulsive gambler then it really is difficult because you might deny that you are having gambling problems which creates a barrier amongst the people that tries to help you so self-awareness is a must and you can never go wrong when you accept that you are having problems.
