Gambling should be fun, but sometimes it stops being just a game. You might notice yourself feeling anxious or restless when you’re not gambling, hiding your gambling from loved ones, chasing losses, or struggling to keep up with bills.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and help is available. Taking a brief screening, reaching out to a professional, or connecting with local and online support can help you regain control and find balance.

Don’t wait. Support is just a step away. Call 419-841-7701 or visit https://www.zepfcenter.org/gambling-treatment-program/

If you’re 45 or older, or have symptoms or a family history, it’s time to take action. Call 419-841-7701, option 7 to schedule your appointment today.
