Absolutely,! Sharing your experiences and challenges with gambling can be a crucial step in seeking support and understanding from your loved ones. When you open up about your struggles, it not only helps you feel less isolated but also allows your friends and family to better comprehend what you're going through.

By providing them with insight into your gambling experiences, you give them the opportunity to offer more meaningful support. They can provide encouragement, listen to your concerns, and help you make informed decisions about managing your gambling habits. This open communication can foster empathy and strengthen your relationships, making it easier to navigate the challenges associated with gambling addiction or problematic gambling behavior. Remember, seeking help and support is a courageous and essential step toward recovery.

Yes If you value honesty and transparency in your relationships, telling the truth would align with your principles. Lying can lead to guilt and damage trust over time.

If someone asked about my gambling expenses, I would tell the truth. If I'm struggling with gambling or it's causing issues, discussing it honestly would be a step towards getting support and addressing any concerns. but sometimes, what you do is to lie they don't be disappointed to you

For me I think if someone important in my life asks how much money I spent in gambling, it’s usually best to be honest. Honesty is key to maintaining trust and good relationships. By telling the truth, you demonstrate honesty, openness, and a willingness to accept responsibility for your actions.

yes for me ofcourse i will tell the truth because Being truthful fosters trust, allows for accountability and support, and helps prevent further harm. It's crucial for maintaining healthy relationships and addressing gambling-related problems proactively.
