Is it possible for a spouse to be an enabler of his or her spouse's addiction?

Addiction might include alcholism, smoking, gambling, internet addiction, etc.


Absolutely .... in fact it is usually the spouse or significant other who is the very, very best enabler. If you are the spouse and you are the enabler ... go to a 12 Step Al-Anon meeting in your area. You will find many stories, and persons just like you. They will help you be less an enabler and a proactive force in really taking care of yourself.

  • Online bgamblers/b are more likely to have a bgambling addiction/b

    Online gambling has seemed to have caused more problems with gamblers by enabling players to have easier access to betting games as studies have shown that the majority of internet gamblers were found to have serious gambling problems. During a study by the University of Connecticut Health, 74% of the participants of the study were classified as level 2 or 3 gamblers. Although further studies are being worked on to find more about the severity of the problem, it is known that the availability of online gambling can attract those looking to hide their addiction and looking to gamble whilst isolated and anonymous. The accessibility of the internet makes it extremely simple for anyone to start gambling as and when they would like to. Bets are also smaller so users are more attracted to start playing. Travelling to a real casino isn’t as easy and costs a lot more money, therefore those with higher incomes are more likely to do so. Those with gambling addictions can be drawn to play online...

    quot;Rats in a Cagequot; by James Quinn. FSO Editorial 10/12/2009

    The world is a vampire, sent to drain
    secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
    and what do I get, for my pain
    betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
    even though I know-I suppose I'll show
    all my cool and cold-like old job

    despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
    despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
    someone will say what is lost can never be saved
    despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
    Smashing Pumpkins – Rats in a Cage

    Americans throw away close to $100 billion per year gambling in casinos and playing lotteries. This only includes the amount spent legally. Illegal gambling accounts for billions more. This is the net amount spent. In reality, $60 billion is spent on lottery tickets or $600 per household annually. Another $100 billion is squandered in gambling casinos. This amounts to $950 per household. The $160 billion spent on gambling each year is indicative of the get rich quick without hard work attitude of Americans. Even worse, households with income under $13,000 spend, on average, $645 a year on lottery tickets, about 9 percent of all their income. Our government feeds this addiction by siphoning off billions in taxes from these gambling revenues to redistribute as they see fit. Government sponsored gambling is a regressive tax on the poor and is immoral. Politicians have become addicted to the tax revenues being drained from the deprived in the country.
