Fold em: Help for Gambling Problems

25. Do I Need to Stop? Can't I Control My Gambling?


Listen Later

Even after gambling gets out of hand, it's common to want to keep it going.  Or, to keep a door open to gambling in the future.  Some typical thoughts are, "I learned my lesson, now I'll control it," "It's not such a big deal," OR "I can't just turn my back on all the money that was lost."  

Listen to this episode and hear an honest conversation with a gambler who continued gambling while in a debt repayment program.  Hear about his experiences with trying to control gambling and how he sorted through the question about whether to stop.

If gambling has gotten out of control for you or a loved one, read the blog for this podcast at www.gamblingproblemhelp.ca.  We share important tips, especially if you are thinking about returning to gambling.
