Do you spend less time on family or social activities and outings?4. Are you stopping activities that interest you? 5. Do you make unsuccessful attempts to control, reduce or stop your gambling? 6. Do you try to win back the amount of money you lost by gambling some more?7. Do you borrow money from family and friends? 8. Are you absent from work for no reason and have reduced efficiency?9. Do you have unpaid bills, overloaded credit cards, and an unjustified absence of money from the family income?The more questions you answered "yes" to, the more likely it is that you have a gambling addiction.
