“Gamblers Anonymous in Scotland is stepping into the virtual world to extend its reach even further in the nation. It is planning to purchase VOIP phones that will allow members in remote areas to phone in for sessions via the Internet.
“There are people in places like Portree, Arran and parts of southern Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway who can’t travel the long distances to their nearest meeting in Inverness or Carlisle,” a Gamblers Anonymous spokesman said in the Sunday Herald.
The organization’s solution is to roll out Skype, which will allow people to make free phone calls over the Internet to take part in counseling sessions.”
