    About this ebook

    Pathological gambling is one of the most frequently occurring behavioral disorders, which is to be treated just like any other addiction. In this unique guide you can find practical information concerning the most popular gambling games, as well as their influence on your psyche and behavior. This publication answers the questions that most frequently bother compulsive gamblers and their family members – where is the boundary between the convivial playing and pathological gaming, what are the phases of gambling addiction, and what behaviors indicate a growing problem. The following work, clearly and transparently, will guide you through the problem of gambling addiction and inform about the degree of susceptibility to pathological gambling and the personality traits that increase the individual risk. It will also introduce you to the fundamentals of the methodology of treatment and verified forms of prevention – to ensure that your form of relax would not run out of control and transform into addiction with a destructive impact on your personal life.

    If you feel that your playing got out of hand, you are in debt because of gambling, or your family is affected by problems of a psychological nature, this guide will help you to find the appropriate directions for help-seeking and advice regarding your own approach to limit the destructive impact that gambling has on your life.

      The true win is to stop gambling – How to free yourself from addiction?

      Casino, betting, card games - everything is for the people as long as they manage to maintain the control of playing. Unfortunately, in the case of gambling, it is extremely easy to lose control. Emotions reaching its zenith and the big money at hand, both make it very easy to fall into gambling, whereas the unavoidable, negative consequences are much more difficult to handle. Compulsive gaming destroys players’ physical and mental health as well as their relationships. If you are an enthusiast of gambling and enjoy spending time in the casino or on online gambling, take a closer look at the following reading to see whether your play is still within the normal range, or the threshold of addiction has already been exceeded.

      Gambling is an addiction, which has recently become almost as popular as a substance abuse. Mistakenly, many people still perceives it as something less dangerous than alcoholism or drug addiction. Some of them has realized about the fallacy of this conviction the hard way, by losing money, families, and many years of their lives. If the risks associated with gambling excite you, if you dream about big wins, and if your life relies on subsequent bets or inserting coins into the machines, stop for
