This crossed my mind as I was reading another bad news in our country about the bad effects of gambling. So I'm asking fellow gamblers here,

Have You Ever Felt Like Gambling Was Affecting Your Life Negatively? And if so how?

It's just a self-reflection on my end, again, I felt sad that there are young gamblers taking someone's life because of their addiction. And then they disposed of the body just like that, but they surrendered to the authorities after a couple of days that lead to the discovery of the body of the driver. As for my experience, probably the worst for me, is maxing out my credit cards or borrowing money that it takes me sometime to pay. So it's hard to understand what's going in the mind of this 3 persons when they unalive a hapless man and get his money and then gamble.

The only time I feel gambling is affecting my life negatively is if I make a loss regardless of the amount but i ensure not to take too much risk most times because I always try to be myself and how do I do this? By realizing that nothing is certain or guarantee in what I'm doing or what I'm about to do. Killing someone because of gambling is really off the track and only high and addicted gamblers can do this and some of them can be a cultist and at same time a drug addict and these set of people are capable of doing anything to get a gambling money or drug money.

Yes, I certainly felt it, especially at the beginning, when I didn't have much money to play with, I was losing almost half of my salary because I didn't earn much and I was young and naive. In addition to emptying my wallet, gambling could take up my time, which I spent on it, especially when I stayed up late at night, hoping to win, but it didn't happen. Naturally, all this affected my emotional state and sometimes I was broken, because I thought, well, when will I win and will this end? Now this is no longer the case, I just allocate too little money for it.
