Compulsive Gambling

Over the last month or so,a number of people have visited this site with debts due to gambling.Once upon a time you had to make an effort to gamble like visiting a bookies or a casino.Now,for anyone with an internet connection, can gamble from the confort of there home.A couple of days ago Martin made a post regarding the guy he had spoken to on a chat show who was threatening to take his own life due to gambling debts.Anyone who feels that they would like to get on line support and help should visit this site. http://www.sfcghub.com/cgsf1.html

It is a place where gamblers and those in recovery go for mutual support.

Although there are inspiring posts on this site it also has a chatroom visited by some very caring people.Please be aware that it is a North American site so be aware of the time changes which can affect how many are in the room.Visiting this evening,it was commented that there are now U.K people,including myself of course,coming to the site.

Hope this little post will be of some help to someone.
