How Can Employers Recognize a Gambling Problem?

And the BIGGER question is….what help can they offer employees with a gambling addiction?
July 29, 2012

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Responsible Gaming Education Week  – July 30th-August 3rd, 2012. I must admit there are times when I’ve been skeptical of the Gaming Industry’s involvement in the preeminent funding mechanism for research in disordered gambling, the NCRG (National Center for Responsible Gaming.)  Yes, there have even been times when I’ve gasped at NCRG-funded research espousing clinical findings of “Natural Recovery” in problem gambling; fearing compulsive gamblers may take this as a “free pass” to continue to gamble and await their own natural recovery, while continuing to devastate themselves and their families in anticipation of the miracle of natural recovery.

Gambling Addiction Suicide

Suicide, attempted suicide and suicidal ideation  is common among compulsive gamblers. By the time the devastation of the disease reaches the tipping point in a pathological gambler’s life they face grave financial problems, their families and relationships are in ruin, self-esteem has been decimated and a sense of helplessness and hopelessness is pervasive. Generally, by the time an addicted gambler “reaches bottom,”  every aspect of their life has been destroyed.  Suicide is all too common in those afflicted with the disease of compulsive gambling.
