Leading experts in the gambling treatment field knew all along the devastation caused by compulsive gamblers to themselves and their families through gambling in the stock market. Stock market gamblers represent over 20% of gamblers. Gamblers Anonymous, recently addressed this type of gambling in their literature for their membership. It states “don’t tempt or test yourself. Don’t associate with acquaintances who gamble. Don’t go in or near gambling establishments. Don’t gamble for anything, this includes buying from the stock market commodities and options.”
4. Can Alcoholism be Cured? ( How long before I can drink again)Not yet. Alcoholism is a treatable disease, and medication has also become available to help prevent relapse, but a cure has not yet been found. This means that even if an alcoholic has been sober for a long time and has regained health, he or she may relapse and must continue to avoid all alcoholic beverages.
