I never in my life thought I would have a promblem going to the casino, and getting scratcher cards. When I was really in chruch I use to say how can people go to chruch on sunday,and be at the casino after they have heard the word of god and no that it is wrong. Until I started going myself.

Addictions don't care about Church. You may need to go to rehab. Bless your heart.

I heard that the same addiction is spread between Koran readers too, therefore mosque doesn't save them either. Now I really wonder why faith can't help in such cases?

I also am dealing with a gambler's pathology. The sucker really does make it easy to kid yourself about having a problem initially. The slide down takes a while, probably because there are no physical symptoms until you are so far into debt that stress makes you crazy. I haven't placed a bet since 4-19-07. Counseling helped a bit and so did Gamblers Anonymous, a 12-step program based on Alcoholics Anonymous. Remember, this pathology is sneakiest when you think you've got it licked. Be well.
