Are You a Problem Gambler?

Like so many other things in our lives, gambling can become an addiction. When a person becomes addicted to something, it is usually hard for them to tell that they have a problem, and they may even deny that there is a problem at all. So how can you tell if you or someone else can be considered a “problem” gambler? Read on to find out.

According to Gamblers Anonymous, if you think that you or someone you know might have a gambling problem, there are twenty questions that you should ask yourself (or the other person, if you suspect a friend or loved one has a problem).
