Gambling Support Services

[]

Many people enjoy gambling, whether it's betting on a horse or playing poker on the Internet. Most people who gamble don't have a problem, but some lose control of their gambling. Signs of problem gambling include


 * Always thinking about gambling
 * Lying about gambling
 * Spending work or family time gambling
 * Feeling bad after you gamble, but not quitting
 * Gambling with money you need for other things

Many people can control their compulsive gambling with medicines and therapy. Support groups can also help.

[]

GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gambling. There are no dues or fees for Gamblers Anonymous membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. Gamblers Anonymous is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. Our primary purpose is to stop gambling and to help other compulsive gamblers do the same.

Most of us have been unwilling to admit we were real problem gamblers. No one likes to think they are different from their fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our gambling careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could gamble like other people. The idea that somehow, some day, we will control our gambling is the great obsession of every compulsive gambler. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of prison, insanity or death.

We learned we had to concede fully to our innermost selves that we are compulsive gamblers. This is the first step in our recovery. With reference to gambling, the delusion that we are like other people, or presently may be, has to be smashed. We have lost the ability to control our gambling. We know that no real compulsive gambler ever regains control. All of us felt at times we were regaining control, but such intervals - usually brief -were inevitably followed by still less control, which led in time to pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization. We are convinced that gamblers of our type are in the grip of a progressive illness. Over any considerable period of time we get worse, never better. Therefore, in order to lead normal happy lives, we try to practice to the best of our ability, certain principles in our daily affairs.

We have a couple staple events each month, the community potluck and our movie night. On the third Thursday of each month Out N' About takes part in the community potluck hosted by PFLAG (Parents, Families, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays), the potluck is a great chance for the older and younger generations of the community to interact. Also, on the fourth Thursday of each month we have a movie night. We watch a wide variety of films usually related to LGBTQ issues, culture, or stereotypes.

The civil programs are: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Springs <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Springs program is for patients who require a hospital level of care for dementia, organic brain injury or mental illness.

In addition to four traditional living units, Bridges includes six cottages on the hospital campus that provide a treatment setting much like a group home, where patients cook their own meals and share other household responsibilities. Bridges' goal is to help patients achieve their highest level of health, safety and independence as they prepare for discharge or conditional release to a less-restrictive community setting. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(compiled by Tiffany Armstrong, Ashley Arnholtz, Gina Cardoza, Stephanie Cherry)
