This is not a case of being addicted to gambling. There are people who are actually in control of their gambling habits or addiction. For instance, they do not gamble beyond their budget; they commit an hour or two to gambling per week or twice per week and strictly adhere to it, among all other things. We have heard and read stories here and out there about how gambling ruins lives, careers, relationships, throws people into debt and more. But my question is, could this be happening to everybody? Has your responsible gambling habit had any positive effects on your relationships with your spouse, kids, parents, and others? Has it improved your finances and helped you stay out of debt? Has it improved your mental health and well being in anyway? Has it been able to help you meet an urgent need? Let's discuss.
From what I've seen here, what you've done is a general topic. Having an addiction can happen to any of us if we allow it to happen to us. And if we let greed control us, At this point, we will really become addicted to gambling, and the chances are really high that careers, family relationships, and others will be damaged.
Now, did gambling help me when I needed it? My answer is that it helped, but it only happened to me once when I was really in financial need. Then, all of a sudden, I gambled on crypto gambling, and that day I felt lucky and I won 158 dollars, so I immediately stopped gambling and immediately took out my winnings.
As for your other question, I didn't show my wife that I was gambling, even to my son; I kept it to myself because I knew no one else until now, so I rarely gamble because I do exist as a responsible gambler anyway.
