HELP FOR PEOPLE
AFFECTED BY GAMBLING
Habit Check
Habits can bring positive momentum to our lives. They help us do regular tasks
without devoting too much mental energy to them. But for the same reason,
habits can cause us to prolong behaviors that no longer serve our best interests.
If gambling has become a habit for you — or a loved one — help is available.
