AM I A COMPULSIVE GAMBLER?
The only person who can make that decision is you, but these 20 questions may help you to determine whether or not you have a problem.
Do you lose time from work due to gambling?
Is gambling making your home life unhappy?
Is gambling affecting your reputation?
Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
Do you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
Does gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
After losing, do you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
After a win do you have a strong urge to return and win more?
Do you often gamble until your last pound is gone?
Do you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
Have you ever sold anything to finance your gambling?
Are you reluctant to use gambling money for normal expenditure?
Does gambling make you careless of the welfare of your family?
Do you gamble longer than you planned?
Do you ever gamble to escape worry or trouble?
Have you ever committed or considered committing an illegal act to finance gambling?
Does gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create an urge within you to gamble?
Do you have an urge to celebrate any good fortune with a few hours of gambling?
Have you ever considered self-destruction as a result of your gambling?
While only you can decide if you have a gambling problem, we have found that most compulsive gamblers will answer ‘Yes’ to at least 7 of these questions.
If you feel that you might be a compulsive gambler, have a gambling problem or simply have a desire to stop gambling, PM, Call or come to one of the meetings

Gamblers Anonymous would like to indicate that we are not soliciting members. Our intention is to highlight that gambling for certain individuals is an illness called "compulsive gambling." Gamblers Anonymous provides the message that there is an alternative to the destruction of compulsive gambling and this alternative is the Gamblers Anonymous program.
Our meetings are filled with members who are recovering from the illness by arresting their gambling one day at a time and attaining a normal way of life. These members remain ready to help any individual who passes through the Gamblers Anonymous door

Recommended ways to avoid the first bet: a collaboration of experience
Going into gambling establishments (for any reason) is a HUGE risk and one you don’t need to take. Toilets can be found elsewhere and self-exclusion can be accomplished on-line.
Avoid carrying money as much as possible: some members use a single card so that theirpartners/family/friends can keep track of where the money is spent; others get receipts; in this way everything can be accounted for.
Make sure you attend meetings regularly and frequently: at least once a week, but in the earlydays you will really appreciate more.
Barriers are extremely useful, the more hurdles you have to jump before being “able” to bet, the less likely you are do it.
Let your loved ones know about ALL debts! This can seem a horrendous task to the new member,but read Page 18 of “Towards 90 days”, it will explain more.
Every day, first thing in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you will not gamble that day and congratulate yourself each night if you don’t.
Register with online self-exclusion schemes, this makes it EXTREMELY difficult to place a bet even when your addiction wants you to.
Share – The more you can tell the room, the more the room can help you. Remember, there will likely be someone in the room that has lived through what you are experiencing.
Avoid ways of getting hold of money secretly; this includes handing over your I.D. (to avoid withdrawing money over the counter in-branch). Sometimes it can even mean handing over anything you could pawn; like jewellery and log-books to cars.
Never have access to accounts you don’t need access to; this includes knowing login details to online banking
One call or text is all it takes to speak to another G.A. member.
Not sure if something is right?: ask! If you have a question, phone someone; text someone; it is not advisable to wait until your next meeting.
Your addiction wants secrecy and solitude! Try not to give yourself time and opportunity to gamble, this can mean keeping loved ones informed of where you are and how long you’ll be thereetc.
Make sure you cancel any running bets and close all betting accounts. (having a partner a family member present while doing this will help avoid a slip here).
Only you know how conniving and devious you were, adopt as many safeguards as possible to counteract this.
Unhappy with life?: give us just six weeks. In just 6 weeks attending G.A. we believe your life will have changed dramatically for the better; after all, what have you got to lose?
Someone strong – Handing over your finances to a loved one that will forcefully question why you “need” money will really help you. Not being trusted with money is hard but very beneficial at the beginning. No-one is saying this is
forever.
