i know that many people with mental health
issues have an addiction of some sort !
what ever it may be ! i have had an
alcohol promblem since i was 14 . i am a
recovering alcoholic now & have been for
over a year. problem - when i gave up
the alcohol - i replaced it with casino
gambling -i love it ! but i am on
disability and they say gambling is a
earned income .so whenever i win i loose
alot of my benifits for 1 month ! i am
asking if the gambling is any way related
to my illness and if any one else is
having this problem . no way do i
understand how gambling is considered a
earned income - i am going to try & fight
this and wonder iif i would have any
chance at all of winning ?!!!
You have very complex psychiatric disorder
and it is possible that your gambling
activities are pathologic. Ask a mental
health professional or visit a support
group (Gamblers Anonymous) for an expert
opinion.
