What are the signs of gambling addiction?

From my experience, signs of gambling addiction include constantly thinking about gambling, needing to bet more money to get the same thrill, and failing to stop despite trying. I found myself chasing losses, lying about my gambling habits, and neglecting my responsibilities. I even borrowed money to fund my gambling, felt anxious and depressed when I wasn’t gambling, and used it as an escape from my problems. It strained my relationships and made everything else in life take a back seat. Recognizing these signs helped me understand I needed support.
