Twelve per cent of adult Manitobans have experienced problems as a result of someone else's gambling, according to the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba. Gambling addictions can be devastating financially and emotionally, and not just for the gambler, says Dave Grift, supervisor of the foundation's gambling unit. "A lot of times, family members are in crisis as well," Grift told CBC News. "That's why AFM would see family members of gamblers — those affected by gambling — as clients in their own right."
