Transforming
addiction with psychosynthesis - one woman's journey.
My transformative journey
through pokies-addiction began during the early
1990s. My ex and our children were happy with life
as we lived it then. I on the other hand was
not. A public health approach for Asian people with problem gambling in foreign countries.
There has been a rapid increase in Asian immigration
to English-speaking countries such as New Zealand,
Australia, Canada, and the United States. Anecdotal
accounts and research suggest high levels of
participation in gambling by people from Asian
countries. Asian problem gambling is seen as being a
social rather than an individual problem compounded
by difficulties with post-migration adjustment. more The
experience of living with a problem gambler:
Spouses and partners speak out. The problems
associated with gambling have been extensively
studied with gamblers; however very few studies have
been specifically undertaken to identify the impact
that gambling has on spouses, partners, and family
members. This qualitative study provided an
opportunity for some partners and spouses of people
affected by problem gambling to identify the
outcomes that gambling had on their lives. It
identified that excessive gambling has a number of
significant effects on financial security, family
relationships, and physical and emotional health. more The Demographics of Ontario Gaming Revenue.
If government-sponsored gaming is to continue then there needs to be maximum effort to minimize its negative impact (including the disproportionate financial draw from problem gamblers). Ontario does more in this regard than most jurisdictions. However, the present results indicate that considerably more needs to be done.
