Is gambling becoming a problem ?

For some people, gambling represents as much of a threat as any addictive substance. Looking to repeat the rush of a win or feeling the the need to increase bets in an attempt to compensate for previous losses can affect our well being and relationships when taken to extremes. Gambling can stimulate the brain's reward system much like drugs or alcohol, leading to addiction in some individuals. If you find that you are unable to control your gambling activities or that it is severly impacting your well being, help is available from a number of organizations. Below are links to a few of these organizations.
