Gambling addiction ruins the lives of millions of people worldwide.
After 30 years of gambling addiction, John Woods placed his last bet on January 5th, 2017.
Here, he tells the brutally honest story of a lifetime of gambling, and the pain and misery it caused, not just to John, but to those closest to him. Most importantly, he shares all he has discovered since stopping gambling and beginning recovery:
¿ What is gambling addiction and how to overcome it
¿ Why people become addicted to gambling
¿ Gambling harm
¿ Gambling and Children
¿ Initial steps to stop gambling immediately
¿ What measures to put in place to prevent gambling
¿ Therapies for gambling ¿ How to become the best version of yourself
¿ Overcoming potential setbacks
It is estimated that for every problem gambler, there are a further six to ten people directly affected and experiencing gambling-related harm.
Gambling-related harm can include: financial hardship, crime, mental health problems, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, self-harm, and suicide.
Gambling Addiction Explained is not only for people wanting to stop gambling, but equally for all those affected by gambling-related harm.
