NATIONAL ADDICTIONS AWARENESS WEEK — SOFT SIGNS OF PROBLEM GAMBLING

Gambling problems can happen to anyone from any walk of life. Your gambling goes from a fun, harmless diversion to an unhealthy obsession with serious consequences. Whether you bet on sports, scratch cards, roulette, poker, or slots—in a casino, at the track, or online—a gambling problem can strain your relationships, interfere with work, and lead to financial disaster.

November 25 – December 1 is National Addictions Awareness Week — end the stigma by learning more about the soft signs of problem gambling. A gambling addiction or problem is often associated with other behaviour or mood disorders. Many problem gamblers also suffer from substance abuse issues, unmanaged ADHD, stress, depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder.
