I am writing an article about addiciton to gambling, esp. online gambling. I want to inform people and help others reach out for help and let them know they are not alone. So this interview would help others. Please let me know. Thanks.

just let me know... jakedaniels107@yahoo.com
with the impact that internet porn has hade on todays culture and the horrible effects it has caused, is internet gambling the next big addiction to effect people?
Yes, It Is Rising To The Top With Porn And heathens Are Bitting Hock, Line & Sinker And They Are Loving Every Minute Of It!...Even The Teen Age Kids Are Expressing Strong Interest In It!...A True Saying: "Kids Do What They See Mommy & Daddy Do!....We Will Continue To Pray !!!
This is not gambling, porn, or anything other than web cruising and forums. Are there national organizations for internet addiction? Online meetings (the irony is not lost on me)? Other resources?
Im an addict too.
I would LOVE to get an answer for this one.
Well, I guess it wouldnt hurt to do a search, lol----

Addiction might include alcholism, smoking, gambling, internet addiction, etc.
Absolutely .... in fact it is usually the spouse or significant other who is the very, very best enabler. If you are the spouse and you are the enabler ... go to a 12 Step Al-Anon meeting in your area. You will find many stories, and persons just like you. They will help you be less an enabler and a proactive force in really taking care of yourself.

However, IAD is characterized by addiction-like symptoms, such as excessive time spent with the addictive “substance”, difficulty reducing use, lack of interest in family or social relations, racing thoughts, irritability and lack of sleep. As with any true malady, IAD shows no bias toward age, social class, race, ethnicity, education, income or gender classification. The following criteria for Internet addiction is based on the diagnostic standards for pathological gambling:

“It’s clear in the research that gambling addicts kill themselves faster and more often than any other type of addict. I was astonished to find that out, but gambling addiction kills people more quickly on average than any other type of addiction. I think it’s because it destroys their self-esteem, having destroyed all of their assets, credit and pride.”
