All addictions: Negatively effect our health. We spend way to much time doing them and not enough time taking care of ourselves. So exercise goes out the window; eating well goes out the window; as does socializing. All these things are part of being a healthy human being!

Your finances: In additions to the immediate effects on your health, gambling becomes a serious financial burden and that can lea to its own serious health effects.
