I agree Kid. Most gambling related sites have the GA icon along with a link to the GA site.

Also most land based casinos have GA pamphlets in multiple spots near the cages.

Some people take this hobby a little too far.

I guess this is the Rx's 20 step program. Guess I'm one of a few to admit he has a gambling problem. But ALL my bills are paid in full while I still bet anything and everything!

As in any addiction, one has to really want help to get it and make it work. If one really wants help, then it is available. If any of you ever have a situation and you feel like there is no where to turn and would like an open ear so to just discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will listen and I will try to help. No promises, but I can lend an ear for sure.

Happy holidays.

I only answered yes to number 12. Gambling money and work money are kept seperate. I do not use gambling $$$ for any real life expenses. When I win it just go's to my savings or stays in my account. No to the rest of those questions.
