Gambling Addiction Portal Site “Kakeru to Kyoko” – January 29, 2024


The Society Concerned about Gambling Addiction is pleased to announce the addition of a new support page to our gambling addiction portal site, Kakeru and Kyoko.


This book is for those who are suffering from gambling addiction.




Gambling addiction portal site “Kakeru to Kyoko


Party Support Page


https://www.kakenai.jp/kaifuku_shiyou


This web page was produced with a grant from Japan Post's New Year's Eve donation for 2023.




Summary


The Association received a grant from Japan Post's New Year's Eve donation in FY 2018 to produce “Kakeru to Kyoko” (kakenai.jp), a portal site to support recovery from gambling addiction.


We are concerned that in recent years, more and more people have started casually gambling online after the Corona Disaster and have developed problems.


Therefore, we have created a new page for “parties suffering from gambling problems” to support their recovery.




Contents


*Gambling Addiction Movies (1) to (4)

*“LOST”, a self-check for gambling addiction

*Listen to the stories of those who have recovered!　20 Stories

*Survey of people who have quit gambling “Everyone's self-help group situation.”

*Introduction to the Party Support Community





Feature/strong>


[1] You can check yourself for gambling addiction with only 4 questions.


LOST,” a gambling addiction self-check developed by Noriko Tanaka, President of the Association, as a co-researcher, was explained in an easy-to-understand video and illustrations.

Certain behaviors specific to gambling addiction, which tend to be serious, are depicted with humor.

If two or more are checked, “High risk of gambling addiction” is indicated.

A Certain Video (3)

Hide your gambling from someone.

A Certain Video (4)

When you lose gambling, you want to get it back right away.

[2] Composed of the recovery experiences of members of the Association's Party Support Department.


Our Party Support Department is a group of recovering gamblers.

We thought that by posting firsthand accounts of how the members suffered and how they were connected to support, people who are going to be connected with us can relate to them by applying the stories to themselves.

In addition, a survey of members reaffirmed that the key to continued recovery is to attend self-help groups and other groups where they can talk with others who have experienced the same thing. We included the message, “Don't keep your problems to yourself.”


Through this page, we hope that as many people as possible who are struggling with a gambling problem will be connected to a recovery support center.
