I had a case of compulsive gambling in the past. At one time in my life, I lost everything that I personally owned. I was so devastated from the incident that I got into a serious anxiety and as I kept my gambling a secret I couldn't share it with my parents or friends and it kept getting worse. Ultimately I took help.
Compulsive gambling and hiding it would not only make you lose your wealth but might also destroy your mental health. There are several cases of suicides and homicides relating to gambling. It's preferable to share your gambling hobby and budget to your dear ones so that they'd be there to prevent you from getting addicted to it.
It is not good to keep your gambling habits a secret, especially if you are addicted to gambling because it can damage your mind. It cannot be denied that when you talk about your gambling habits, you will most likely be blamed if you lose, but when you win, some people definitely want to enjoy the results, therefore it is better to talk about gambling with people who gamble together so that if something goes wrong they can control themselves properly. OK, usually fellow gamblers are no longer a secret because when they win or lose, they always tell it so it doesn't become a burden.
Right because hiding gambling habits can affect gambling self-esteem relationships physical and mental health performance and social life. Many people lose control of their lives while gambling and their entire lives are filled with problems because of this behavior. It becomes a serious problem when they abandon all the important activities of life and seek only opportunities to gamble and immerse themselves in gambling causing unhappiness in the personal family and daily life of gamblers. Hence sharing with your family will bring peace of mind and control.
