Last study of money spent on illegal drugs compared to gambling in the US
Illegal Drugs $64 billion
Gambling $ 566 billion
Just thought it kind of put the scale of the problem in perspective
Waw i thought i was in a minority and that there was something wrong with me. Seeing this and reading other stories makes me realise that i did have a sort of illness but thankfully my psin is getting better and the fog is lifting thanks to all the people on this site. I haven't read a book in a long time (too busy gambling!!) but if i put all my reading of this site together it would make a small novel! And its the best novel i have read.
Those US figures are frightening.
I wonder if anyone has got the UK equivalent figures ?
Affected by gambling?
