Gambling
Compulsive gambling is a progressive illness which is diagnosable and treatable. It affects the gambler, the family, the employer, and the community. It is called a `hidden illness' since there is no smell on the breath nor stumbling of steps or speech. Nonetheless, a gambling addiction is as debilitating as alcohol or drug addiction. If left untreated the illness can progress to financial devastation, ruined relationships, and a felling of desperation. If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling addiction there is "Help for Today and Hope for Tomorrow".
