Female Gambling Addictions

It seems that female gamblers have been having some problems with getting assistance for their slot machine and gambling addictions, as they feel "stigmatized" for it. The UK has realized this issue and is doing something about it.

The UK is now offering meetings for "women only" in an attempt to get more women to seek help with their slot machine and gambling addictions. A recent study has shown that not only are women the fastest growing group of slot machine and gambling patrons, but they are also the fastest growing in terms of addiction.

Add to all of that the fact that it is harder for them to get help for their addiction, and you end up with a real mess. Now Gamblers Anonymous has stepped in to try and get these women help by offering special meetings just for women so that they won't feel embarrassed speaking in front of men.
