Preoccupation occurs is when the gambler constantly thinks about gambling. S/he is frequently referring to gambling experiences and his/her life is centered on how to acquire money for continuing gambling. Tolerance when the amount spent on gambling becomes higher and higher. The gambler is increasing the amount of money spent in much the same way an alcohol abuser increases the amount of alcohol. They can no longer get the same effect with a lower dosage. Withdrawal occurs when the gambler is pausing or stopping his/her gambling and is feeling uncomfortable while doing so. This may cause agitation, anxiety, irritation or frustration . Escape the gambler is using games to improve his/her mood or to avoid issues or problems. Chasing is the stage when the gambler is trying to win back the money lost. Lying by lying to family, friends or therapist, the gambler is trying to hide the extent to which s/he is gambling.
