My life is good, gambling has not really had a huge effect on me. I play for fun, have won some amount of money from gambling a couple of times, not life changing amounts, I have also lost many time to gambling, but not amounts that are big enough to reduce my standard of living. Gambling has had and is having a neutral effect on my life.

It is important to carry out self analysis to know how your gambling activity is affecting your life, ask yourself important questions so you can assess yourself from the answers. It is necessary because without consciously trying to ensure that the effect of gambling remain neutral to you, gambling may just make your life worse before you notice and can remedy the situation, so you should always be conscious about it.
