Call is free and confidential Gambling can be fun , but not when your life is riding on every bet. When gambling is out of control, the game isn't about fun and winning, it's about having enough money to keep playing. These problems may seem over-whelming. Compulsive gambling will lead to serious consequences.
Most problem gamblers give up hope, thinking there is no escape from their gambling habits.
In many cases they will have lost their home, business, family, friends, self esteem and have created legal problems along the way. Some lose everything and declare bankruptcy. In extreme cases, they may even be reduced to stealing or considering taking their own lives, just to have their problems end. It doesn't have to come to that before getting help. This doesn't have to happen to you.
