Philip Mawer

'If you want to give up gambling, then buying this book will be the best money that you ever spend.' - Paul Buck, recovered compulsive gambler, Founder and CEO of Epic Risk Management

Addiction to gambling and its consequences can be devastating - and can affect anyone, from any age or background.

This book is designed to help you - or a loved one - stop gambling forever. It will help you, or them, to recognize the phases of problem gambling, and to understand the release that happens when you create, and hit, rock bottom. As you come to learn more about this illness, you'll learn how to deal with the urges and start the path back towards dignity and self-respect. You'll also understand, once and for all, the futility of gambling and the cruel facts about this cruel industry.

Himself a recovered compulsive gambler, Phil Mawer has created an effective therapy that has helped countless people break out of their gambling prison and start enjoying life again - and his book will help you, too.
