Trying to compose an essay about gambling, thanks for all input.

People cash their paycheck and it is gone several hours later.

I know that it has to do w/ that fact that the States and cities make a ton of money on gambling, but i think they should be putting more money into treating the addiction.
It makes no difference that there's a substance involved in drugs or alcohol. The public doesn't realize that. The addiction is the part where you get high, whether it's from alcohol, drugs, or gambling.

Because, alcohol and drugs are substances....gambling is an action.....
Substances are more related to health issues than activities themselves...

I'm making a research about gambling and its effects on those who are addicted to it. I would like to get information from those who are adept at dealing with this kind of disorder, hence the search for addiction treatment centers.

The links below will surely get to help you in your search. You can also look through the local yellow pages, or ask for a list from doctors or healthcare providers. Good luck! I do wish you get all the information that you need. :)

My "friend" has just recently started to gamble. She will go to a casino for 24 hours, and yet the next week will go again. She doesnt have that much money, she barely can pay off her bills, yet she some how can go gambling for hours upon hours upon hours!

i need help on how to help her. this addiction is effecting her marriage and home life, along with making people not like her.

what can i do to help her??

please help!! i dont want anything bad to happen to her (like debt)
it actually NOT me. haha. i just dont want to say the reallationship to me.

First of all, you can't change her. She has to want to get help. Most addicts need to reach their bottom before they admit they have a problem and need help. My suggestion would be to get together with other people in her life that truly care about her, and are concerned about her, and then confront her. Tell her how you feel about what she is doing. Make your statements in the form of "When you_____, I feel ______." These are your feelings, and are hard for her to discount. Don't confront her on her marriage, that's her husband's job. Own your own feelings. Suggest that she seek help from Gambler's Anonymous. Suggest that she seek counseling to work on the core issue that has caused her to seek the escape of gambling. Good Luck!
