Yes everyone first starts gambling for free time but gradually when he gets addicted to gambling he doesn't know. I started gambling for a little entertainment to spend my free time. I don't like gambling much now because I am a gambler. I lost a lot of money playing.I was totally addicted to gambling then. So I didn't understand anything then. Now I understand and regret a lot.
I understand that this can be a very difficult situation for you. Feeling addicted to gambling can be overwhelming and lead to serious financial and emotional problems.
You have already realised that gambling is bad for you. This is an indication of your strength and determination. Now you can build a healthier and happier life.
