Resources for Problem Gambling

Problem gambling is often described as a hidden addiction, because there are no obvious signs, such as changes to physical behavior, dilated pupils, or marks on an arm. Also, problem gambling is not as frequently discussed as other forms of addiction. Because of these factors, those with a gambling problem often wonder if they are the only one struggling. If you or a loved one is struggling with problem gambling, you are not alone. Problem gambling can affect people of any age, race, gender, or socio-economic background.

These resources have been gathered to shine a light on problem gambling and to show that there are others who have struggled and recovered. Below you will find videos, podcasts, books, and tools created by those in the recovery community, as well as therapists, journalists, and others to provide encouragement along the road to recovery. Hear the stories of recovered individuals, learn about problem addiction, and use the tools to make a change in your life.
