What should one do if they feel like they are losing control of their gambling?

It is crucial to act right away if you feel that you are having trouble controlling your gambling. You can follow the instructions listed below:

Recognize the issue: Recognize that you have a gambling issue and that it is negatively affecting your life.

Seek assistance: Speak with an expert who can assist you in addressing the underlying issues that are fueling your gambling problem, such as a therapist, counselor, or addiction specialist.

Consider attending a problem gambling support group, such as Gamblers Anonymous, where you can interact with people going through comparable situations.

Set limits: Establish reasonable limits for yourself, such as a budget for the amount of money you can spend on gambling each week, and stick to them.

Take a break: Consider taking a break from gambling altogether for a period of time to give yourself time to reflect and reassess your situation.

Block access: Consider blocking access to gambling websites and apps on your phone or computer and staying away from places where gambling is available.

Get support: Seek support from loved ones who can offer encouragement and help you remain accountable for your actions.

Remember that it is never too late to seek help for a gambling problem, and taking action early can help prevent further consequences. It takes courage to admit that you have a problem, but with the right help and support, recovery is possible.
