The site is designed to help people overcome their gambling addictions have recently been asked by television reporters and associate producers in order to obtain information on individuals who have been affected by compulsive gambling tickets addictions. In most cases, they are looking for people to come forward, and share their lives have been exposed by local gambling establishments. In most of these cases, people feel fear of embarrassment from family and friends, so they do not want to discuss how their lives have been affected.

I was recently contacted BET nightly news. They appealed for help to find people who live in a particular geographic area whose lives have been affected by gambling. Of the five individuals, I found all of them refused to discuss or resolve the situation, some interviews with him, for fear of recognition.

Through its website, I stopped Gambling So Can You

I was fortunate to meet people from different backgrounds and learn about their gambling addictions. They allowed me to share their stories with others as long as I assure them that their names will be kept confidential. I shared some of these situations with reporters and associate producers in the hope that the message will reach the politicians.

One politician I spoke with said that he is trying to pass a law that would prevent people using their credit cards to buy lottery scratch tickets, and in local stores. At first I thought it was a joke. People who want lottery tickets

tickets will receive them with or without a credit card. Legislators need to see a larger photo. Most people who live in the six miles or less from the gambling establishments adversely affected.

It was about ten years since the casino opened in the state of Connecticut. People spend most of their money there and not in local businesses and shopping malls. Legislators must understand that the casino is to grow in size because of the amount of money people lose. The amount of money lost in gambling could be used to improve our economy instead.

True political leaders like revenues at the casino. This makes them look good to voters, because they do not have to increase taxes. As the political leaders of the care that the economy is currently adversely affected? Based on their knowledge and experience in this field, I predict that in less than five years of devastation caused by gambling will be seen. This can be prevented if people are educated and given the truth about the private drug addiction.

Speaking with reporters, I also wondered why they did not indicate a direct link between the increase in the number of casinos and is the size of people lose money in gambling. They have no answer. The media enjoys reporting on each one about the man who won a million dollars. The media did not mention that the casino to take more than one million dollars a day from the slot machines only at the same time, they have reported millions of dollars the winner. It is this distorted view that sends people on the road to self destruction hoping to win big just once.

Operators of gambling establishments are very greedy people. In some states, penny slots were recently introduced as a way to attract the elderly and families with low incomes. They believe that all the slots allow the play areas such as social security and welfare, not just the rich. True, they do not care about who they are or how many lives are destroyed. One thing I learned that all gambling establishments are not discriminatory. If you have money, they will gladly take it with a smile.

Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT ran an action in which they are almost $ 50 dollar vouchers, in order to unite people in a casino. A week later, I heard of the fifteen people who actually used the vouchers, but has lost anywhere from a hundred to a thousand dollars in just one visit. In a casino, know how to draw people in. In order to avoid temptation, inveterate player asked to be removed from the mailing list. Unfortunately, the gambling establishments do not care and will continue to send you information, but not as often. During the holiday season, the casino is almost $ 400 and $ 100 dollar vouchers for people to use any of the shops located inside the gift of creation. Since the holidays, they know the players to buy gifts, but as soon as they receive the player back to the casino, they hooked again. Is this disappointing? Or is it just a manipulation to get the player back?

Based on statistics, gambling is booming and the economy is in distress. Is there a relationship between the current economy and gambling? When the policy is a step and help these people? This is for people to take a stand and hope that political leaders will step up and help these people.

I have extensive experience in dealing with compulsive players, friends and family of players and teenage players. I think There are many alternatives to assist in returning to gambling. Much of the letters I get from compulsive players seek alternative Gamblers Anonymous and twelve step program. Programs such as this will help a few people every year, but there is a higher percentage that needs to be an alternative. These are people that I am trying to achieve.

That is my goal to educate compulsive players with options to help them beat their addiction.
