How To Quit Gambling

Chapter 1: Gambling Won’t Fix Debt

Congratulations on taking this big step of reading this if this is your first book about stopping troubled gambling, if all the same like me, this is among several books you've read then well done once more, you know you’re becoming stronger.


The aim of this book is to be for both sexes, all ages, all colors, creeds and faiths. It matters not if you’re a adolescent that has got ‘carried away’, a middle aged woman who’s simply spent her life savings or a individual sitting in his prison cell doing a long stretch for a problem gambling related condemnable offence.
I’m not worried with whether the debt you discover yourself in is 1000, or one 1000000000000, our journey is more or less the same - you have to change.


In my eyes the past may stop here and the future may begin here.


Living in this world with ever increasing pressures from a assortment of sources may leave us perpetually having to juggle income to make ends meet.


We all dream about winning the lottery so that all our financial concerns may be solved in one fell swoop. All the same for most of the population that's where it remains - as a dream.


Then along come the problem gamblers and they attempt to make that dream into a reality by actively pursing those long odds.


Rather simply they're chasing a dream that may never become a reality and that's why you'll perpetually find them trying gambling to get out of debt.


It Won’t Help


Prolonged problem gambling has brought you to this place - prolonged problem gambling won't get you out!

The above statement would appear so commonplace in a non-problem gambler’s brain that it borders on being rather an absurd one. To the nonproblem gambler the same may be said of any statement that to the sound mind would be so totally obvious, like…


If you cuff yourself to a post, it will be hard to walk away. Or placing your shoes on opposite feet would make walking uncomfortable.


And all the same all problem gamblers believe that prolonged problem gambling provides them a chance. A chance that they might get out of debt with that ever elusive ‘one big win’. This erroneous belief is one that a problem gambler has to drop from a great height if they're to have any chance of success.


The fact that I'm writing this book - the fact that gamblers anonymous is a universal organization that helps problem gamblers - the fact that there are a lot of different worldwide organizations providing help - the fact that there are 1000s of other books about problem gamblers whose world’s have crumbled - the fact that individuals have committed suicide due to gambling - the fact that 1000000s and 1000000s
is poured into research around the world into the problem gambling phenomenon - the fact that a lot of individuals are sitting in cells around the world because of gambling related crimes - sorry to be carrying on a bit here, but the fact is, that all the facts add up to the fact that:


Prolonged problem gambling won't get you out of debt - it will only make it worse

Okay, for the individuals out there who still doubt - think about this. Even if a problem gambler gets that ‘big win’ - prolonged problem gambling would mean, it will only be a matter of time before they're back in debt.

Your new belief in this area ought to be that no matter if I won the huge one, prolonged problem gambling will put me back into debt.
