I can say me three.
I think it would be very helpful.
If we can't have that at least a sticky so that family/friends will know what help is available to them and the gambler.

Sorry, I disagree.
Gambling may be the source of the debt, but this board is about solving debt, not dealing with gambling addictions.
IMHO people with gambling problems should go to a local GA meeting.
I started going to meetings back in 1994 and won't have a bet today.0 -
have to say i am against the sub board as realistically there are more people the spend more than are compulsive gamblers. I do however beleive that the sticky on the gambling loopholes forum about GA and the charities should also be duplicated here so people know where to turn.
