Gambling lead to broken family, failed relationships, loss of jobs and severe debt. 

It also lead to mental health problems including depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

I become mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially and physically a bankrupt. 

Chasing losses made me powerless, helpless, and mentally tired as my trouble become deeper. 

Gambling made me impatient, reckless, irresponsible, easily irritable,  impulsive, compulsive and  hot tempered.

I have big winnings and cannot stop thinking about gambling. I need to return to gamble 

If I had lost all my money, I need to chase the loss, I become desperate and will go to all length to borrow, lie, cheat and steal to gamble some more.

I go over and over guilty feelings and cannot stop thinking about problems

Gambling threaten to get me kick out of the house again and again. 

Gambling made me so broke that I cannot afford a roof over my head. 

I was so broke that I had to borrow from legal and illegal money lenders to cover up my next repayment. I accumulated so much debt that I was living in so much stress and misery.

I cannot focus and keep a job. Livelihood was a big concern.

I avoided people and people avoided me. I lost all my friends. I was afraid to let my new friend know that I was a problem gambler and a broke. My existing friends avoided me because I never change, they dont want to help or lend me any more money. I also avoided those friend that has help me and lend me money because I cannot keep my promise and have no money to return them.

I feel depress, and have problem falling asleep

I turn to heavy drinking to numb my feeling

I become suicidal

Is it worth it?
