Unfortunately one of my closest friends has a very serious problem with Gambling and find as it is a close friend, it affects me.

Does any one have any first hand experience of this, and how did you deal with it?

Either being a gambler your self or knowing someone close who is?

Any feed back and advise right now would be appreciated, as the person concerned was supposed to fly here today to live and is at an airport on the peninsula with no where to go back to, and no money. Im in no position to help him financially.

Gamblers anon is the obvious one, but does any one have any experience of this either now or in the past?
