Initially when people start to gamble they do not expect it to turn into an addiction, however, it does happen. He says life is boring if he doesn’t gamble. The guy gambles with money he hides from his wife, so whether he wins or loses he cannot talk about it because he has hidden the addiction from his family Along with hiding the addiction, he also has to hide his frustration or his excitement if he wins. However, he is not sure if he has a problem.
His wife does not know that he gambles and if he loses a bet, he gets moody with her. He is now older and married with 2 children, yet he still gambles. He believed he needed to gamble in order to survive.
I recently read about a man who has gambled since he was 12 years old.
