WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR GAMBLING TAKES OVER
Many people don’t realise the warning signs that their gambling is becoming a problem.
Here’s what our awareness and self control classes are focusing on.
1. LOSE YOUR PLAY
The amount you set aside to gamble with has been lost. It’s a loss you thought you could afford, but now that it’s gone, has the fun gone too?
2. LOSE YOUR FAMILY
What if your debts and lifestyle become unbearable to those you love? Getting cut off from a bank, or an employer is hard enough – what if you were cut off from your family?
3. LOSE YOUR GROCERY MONEY
The cash to put food on the table has been lost. How much fun will it be explaining to your family or friends that you can’t afford to eat?
4. LOSE YOUR SAVINGS
All the money you’d been saving is gone. Home deposit? Gone. New car, or holiday? Gone. The fun you could have had with that money has gone too.
5. LOSE YOUR CAR
You know you’re too far down the road with gambling when you don’t even have a car. And relying on public transport isn’t much fun.
6. LOSE A CREDIT CARD PAYMENT
The money you needed for that credit card payment is gone. Now you’re looking at further debt you can’t afford. And there’s nothing fun about that.
7. LOSE YOUR FRIENDS
Even close mates can lose patience when you have to borrow money, or use lies and excuses to cover your gambling debts. Hard to have fun with no friends.
