About 2/3 down and it's in the dual diagnosis section.

I can say this from my own experience with both an A and a gambling addiction, they are very similar. I do believe that my H's addiction led to his A, but the "addiction" aspect of the A is what has kept it going. If the person engaged in the A has a PD or problem with addiction, the A can be their "drug of choice" if you will. Its scary.

WDID, thanks for stopping by my thread, I answered your question and thanks.
