Gambling is a very addictive game that demands your time and resources. One of my weaknesses is devoting too much time to gambling. When I start playing I hardly ever does anything else. The time spent trying to win bets and studying permutations is what takes most of the times. Secondly, the resources invested in gambling is also a weakness for me because I tend to spend most of my resources on gambling, to the point where I might even go borrowing.

these are signs of gambling problems

Start seeking help early to recover quickly. It's very important to take care of your mental health. When someone starts spending too much time gambling and forgets that there's life in the real world, and they end up taking out loans to continue gambling, it means they have serious problems. They may have become addicted to gambling.

You can test yourself: tell yourself you'll stop gambling for 30 days and try to stick to it. If you can, then it means you still have control over yourself. But if you can't, then you're not in control of yourself. You'll need to seek urgent medical help.
