Gamblers Anonymous offers the following questions to anyone who may have a gambling problem. These questions are provided to help the individual decide if he or she is a compulsive gambler and wants to stop gambling. I have gone ahead and provided a translation for all you poker degens out there.
1. Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling? Have you ever skipped class to play the Sundays?
2. Did gambling affect your reputation? Have people just given up on stealing your big blind?
3. Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? Have you ever bluffed off stacks to a calling station?
4. After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses? Have you ever chased losses?
5. After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more? After a big score have you ever just let it ride?
6. Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone? Have you ever been bust?
7. Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling? Have you ever been backed?
8. Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling? Have you ever used eBay to restart your full tilt roll?
9. Were you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures? Did you not buy your mother a Christmas present so you could play donkaments?
10. Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family? Have you ever played poker in a shady home game?
11. Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned? Have you ever missed your flight because you were playing online poker in the airport?
12. Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping? Having nightmares about getting check raised?
13. Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling? Ever find a 100 dollar chip on the casino floor and head directly to the roulette wheel?
