South Washington County Bulletin | Take a chance – get help or suffer

South Washington County Bulletin Take a chance – get help or suffer:

"You play a few pulltabs and walk away — usually a loser — right? Ernie, a local man, was a winner. He kept playing. He kept winning, bought new bicycles for his children and felt on top of the world.
The winning streak in pulltabs progressed to gambling at the casinos and lasted about two years, he said. Then he began to lose.
Four years later, Ernie finally admitted he had an addiction to gambling and joined a Gamblers Anonymous support group. Now, he’s starting a GA group in Cottage Grove."
