I have an on-line newsletter, Women Helping Women and it’s in its’ 10th year of publication (www.femalegamblers.org) and I published a book last year, Gripped by Gambling, (www.grippedbygambling.com) which is being read by gamblers and their familes around the world. I have more than 17 years of recovery and try to reach out to areas where there are no GA meetings nor counselors who have been trained to treat gambling problems. I know that the gambling problems are multiplying because of the availability of casinos and the lotteries.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
