You can find more information about how the community works under "Help!" in the navigation bar, and we'll send you a few newsletters with tips and ideas in the coming weeks. If you need a little more help, go to the Home page and look in the right hand column to see the link to a "Help Desk" form.
We all use the site differently, but we hope you feel comfortable sharing among us in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Big hug!

Doug also had a life-long gambling problem, but I only found out that it was a problem after his death. It is hard when you are trying to hide the real person from those around you. I found it overwhelming, and have now been able to share some of my story with others on this site and with close friends at home. Keeping secret this part of my journey was keeping me in limbo as I found myself unable to move forward without dealing with EVERY part of the grief process. I wish you well and please feel free to email me anytime...chez2all@hotmail.com
