When it comes to a family
member you already know the answer to this question. You don’t
have to think twice. You know the truth but are you willing to
face it? Most of your life has been centered around a family
member’s addiction in one form or another. Some of you may have
noticed how your family member has schemed and plotted to find
ways to feed their addictions. You may have spent every waking
moment searching to find a way to help your family member stop
gambling.
You are at the right place.
Through this manual you will start to understand what your
family member is going through and how to help them recover from
this addiction.
An addict is an individual
whose life is dependent and restricted by their aspiration to
continue following the same behavior patterns. We are people
who exhibit behavior patterns that if continued will get
progressively worse. The end result can include jail,
institutions, illness, poverty, and death.
Only a gambler has the ability
to decide if they are addicted to gambling, but you can play an
active role in helping them to reach this conclusion. This
manual was designed with you in mind.
