About this ebook

Struggling with a gambling habit? If you feel that a 'flutter' has evolved into something out of your control, this indispensable book is for you.

This self-help manual uses cognitive behavioral techniques, pioneered by clinical psychologist Professor Alex Blaszczynski, and now used all over the world, to help with gambling addiction. It will help you to understand how your own gambling problem has developed and what is keeping it going; also, crucially, how to develop the motivation to stop and control any future urges to gamble again.

Ratings and reviews

OMG! I've read a great deal of 'Stop Gambling' books over my life time (73 yrs old). This is the "only" one I am determined to finish. Then; apply it to my life going forward! I'll read anything this author writes! He completely gets what a gambler with a problem goes through. Not what most writers want us to get!!! Big difference! This book, and my Bible (Not needed. Just my personal choice to include my Bible), will be with me until I transition. Nice that it is on my phone too. I can highlight sections; color code them. Readily, bring quotes up, as needed. Plan to read and reread this book. For the price! Undersold!!!Undersold!!!!!! I'd gladly pay much more. Have paid more for other unfinished books. Get this book while it is at this bargain!!! You'll gain your own money back!!! Providing your willing to do the soul searching, hard work, required to GET YOUR LIFE BACK!!!! Reece!
