Compulsive Gambling:
The title speaks for itself. If this is a problem for you, don’t delay in getting some help. Usually thought of as a casino problem, but don’t forget the online poker player or the stock market investor. Each with their own flavor of approach, but all have the same thinking. Have you ever thought or know someone who thinks, “I’ll double up and get it all back” or “I had some of it back and I was set to get the rest until…”? One of my clients lost nearly $1 million that wasn’t his before he called. For him, those problems have ended. No more obsessing, worries or fears of what happens to relationships when others find out.
Much like other addictions, too, many people with treatable conditions could be helped without having to lost it all to discover this is a problem.
