Let down,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gambling Addiction: The Problem, the Pain and the Path to Recovery (Paperback)
Sorry but I dont understand how this book got such a high rating on Amazon.It didnt offer much help to someone with a problem - I think the title is misleading. I cant see the benefit of reading this book. Gamblers need direction and help, not just understanding. Very disappointing.

Gambling Addiction- a must read for addicts,
By Don Philpott (Winchester,TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gambling Addiction: The Problem, the Pain and the Path to Recovery (Paperback)
John Eades has a unique perspective as a trained psychologist and addiction specialist who lost his own position and everything else to his own addiction. The story of his recovery will not only enrich the lives of all who read it, but could well lead to more recoveries.As a practicing physician and a friend of Dr. Eades I have seen and felt his pain; and I have also seen the joy his recovery and his new career path have brought. Heed his advice. You too can have a new life! Donald M Philpott,MD
