I guess almost every gamble addicts at some point becomes aware that their behavior towards gambling has gradually changed over a period of time, but the problem here is that they don't know how to get themselves out or finds it difficult to start drawing themselves back; hence it becomes important for such category of gamblers to go check him or herself.
For example, every time I play slots even for a short time, I play with the bets as I usually play even though my balance runs out but it is not a serious problem because my goal in playing is not to solely expect victory. Imagine when I want to sleep at night I play to make my eyes tired even though it is not good for my health. What does it mean, if you think about it and accumulate the amount of money I have spent, the amount is already in the large category. This is not because I have a lot of money that I don't mind, but more for entertainment.
