20 questions to determine addiction

Hooked on Gambling: Third in a three-part series

Denise Jewell
CNHI News Service

Gamblers Anonymous, which has 1,400 chapters in the United States, offers this test to help people determine if they have a problem with gambling. Most compulsive gamblers answer yes to at least seven of the questions.

-- Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling?

-- Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?

-- Did gambling affect your reputation?

-- Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?

-- Did you ever gamble to get money to pay debts or solve financial difficulties?

-- Did gambling cause a decrease in ambition or efficiency?

-- After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible to win back your losses?

-- After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?

-- Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?

-- Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?

-- Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?

-- Were you reluctant to use gambling money for normal expenses?

-- Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
