Do you struggle with gambling issues?
Are you concerned that someone you know may have an issue with gambling?
Are you worried that you might be addicted to gambling ?
In the latest episode of ' I Have Issues,' I discuss the issue of gambling.
I'm joined by Professor Colin O'Gara, a consultant psychiatrist for the past twenty years. Since 2007, he is the Head of Addiction Services at Saint John of God Hospital, Stillorgan, Dublin, Ireland treating patients who have a gambling addiction.
He is recently the author of a new book entitled, 'Gambling Addiction in Ireland; Causes, Consequences and Recovery' with Veritas publishers. This book has been written for a general audience and aims to help patients and families struggling with gambling addiction.
Sadly gambling can change from being a source of fun and entertainment to wrecking your life with heart-breaking consequences.
Gambling can become an addictive behaviour, devastating the life of the gambler, their family and friends.
People with an issue of gambling can become deceitful, lead a double-life and gamble finances away and pretend that everything is fine in their life.
They can become trapped in a life that is blighted by gambling, debt and addiction.
Listen to this episode to learn how to deal with gambling and if you do struggle with this issue, there is a way forward to help you deal with this addiction.
Don't gamble with the issue of gambling!
