When it comes to a friend 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 friend’s
addiction in one form or another. Some of you may have noticed
how your friend 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 friend stop gambling.
You are at the right place.
Through this manual you will start to understand what your
friend 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.
There is no humiliation in
facing up to the fact that your friend has a problem! What is
important is that you decided to do something about it.
