All Bets Are Off: Losers, Liars, and Recovery from Gambling Addiction

Arnie Wexler's life as a gambler began on the streets of Brooklyn, New York, flipping cards, shooting marbles, and playing pinball machines. At age fourteen he found the racetrack, a bookie, and started playing the stock market. His obsession with gambling accelerated until a fateful day in 1968 when it all came crashing down.Wexler's gripping narrative leads us through the dungeon of a compulsive gambler's world—chasing the big win and coming up with empty pockets—and how his addiction drove him and his wife, Sheila, to the edge of life. With help, they managed to escape, and together they have devoted themselves to helping others with the problem they know so well.Arnie and Sheila Wexler have provided extensive training on compulsive, problem, and underage gambling to more than 40,000 gaming employees and have written Responsible Gaming Programs for major gaming companies. In addition to running the toll-free, national helpline 888-LAST-BET, Sheila and Arnie are consultants to Recovery Road in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, a Sunspire Health private residential treatment facility for adults with chemical dependency and problem gambling.Steve Jacobson was a sports reporter and columnist for Newsday for more than forty years with a great interest in all aspects of sports. He co-authored a number of books with notable sports personalities. He was named by Associated Press among the top sports columnists and twice was nominated by Newsday for the Pulitzer Prize.

Never Binge Again(tm): Reprogram Yourself to Think Like a Permanently Thin Person(tm). Stop Overeating and Binge Eating and Stick to the Food Plan of Your Choice!

Never Binge Again(tm): Reprogram Yourself to Think Like a Permanently Thin Person(tm). Stop Overeating and Binge Eating and Stick to the Food Plan of Your Choice!

If you struggle with binge eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or if you repeatedly manage to lose weight only to gain it all back, you may be approaching things with the wrong mindset.  Most contemporary thought on overeating and bingeing focuses on healing and self-love. But people who've overcome food addiction and weight issues often report it was more like capturing and caging a rabid dog than learning to love their inner child...Open the cage even an inch—or show that dog an ounce of fear—and it'll quickly burst out to shred your healthy eating plans, undoing all your progress in a heartbeat.From his perspective as a formerly food-obsessed psychologist—and previous consultant to major food manufacturers—Dr. Livingston shares specific techniques for isolating and permanently dis-empowering your “fat thinking self.”  He reveals much of his own personal journey in the process.If despite your best intentions you find yourself in one or more of the following situations then this book is for you...You've tried diet after diet with no permanent success...You constantly think about food and/or your weight...You feel driven to eat when you're not hungry (emotional overeating)...You sometimes feel you can't stop eating even though you're full...You sometimes feel guilty or ashamed of what you've eaten...You behave differently with food in private than you do when you're with other people...You feel the need to fast and/or severely restrict your food to “make up” for serious bouts of overeating...Never Binge Again can help you:Dramatically improve your ability to stick to ANY healthy food plan so you can achieve your weight loss and/or fitness goals...Quickly recover from mistakes without self judgement or unnecessary guilt...Free yourself from the prison of food obsession so you can enjoy a satisfying, delicious, and healthy diet for the rest of your life!"What the Hades is this?  It can't be this simple.  But I'm closer to my goal weight than I...

The Sober Journal - Sobriety Gifts For Men or Women in Alcoholics Anonymous, Alcoholism, Drug Addiction Recovery, Narcotics Rehab, Living Sober, and 12 steps and 12 traditions. Daily Reflections.

Get Sober. Stay Sober. And Live an Amazing Life. "If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret. I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful." - Jim Carrey Hi, My name is Michael and I am the heart and soul behind The Sober Journal. And I created this journal because I quickly found out (early in my recovery) that I needed to write things down. Because so many feelings, emotions and thoughts were flying at me all the time. Everything was new. I was learning about myself every day... And I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and confused with all the change that was happening around me. But when I looked online there wasn't a single journal for those of us in recovery. I was shocked. And it was in that moment that I decided to make something special for the sobriety community - and help as many people recover (as possible) through journaling. I have poured my heart and soul into the Sober Journal and I hope it provides you a place to track and discover yourself throughout your recovery. And whether you are getting sober for the first time or already have ten years of sobriety under your belt - I hope journaling teaches you something new about yourself and inspires you to create the life you know in your heart you were meant to create. Your friend in sobriety, Michael

Sobrenix - Anti-Alcohol & Alcohol Support Supplement | All-Natural Liquid Formula for 2X Absorption | Kudzu, Milk Thistle, B Vitamins & More

Sobrenix is a fast-acting and all-natural anti-alcohol & alcohol support supplement in liquid form. Rather than a capsule that can take an hour to digest, liquids get to work right away and absorb in minutes so you can use Sobrenix before drinking, or before attending a social situation that'll involve alcohol (and it'll help keep you from drinking too much and provide you with the essential nutrients that alcohol wipes out!). And instead of cramming all these ingredients in a capsule that was put together somewhere in China, Sobrenix is assembled right here in the USA. The liquid delivery method has been shown to outperform standard capsules, allowing you to absorb up to 45% MORE from liquids and absorbing almost ALL of it in the first 30 seconds, unlike a pill that has to be sent through the stomach and liver only to lose almost half the ingredients in the process. Most importantly, we don't believe in marketing a miracle cure no matter how overwhelmingly positive our testimonials have been. We're so confident you'll find the relief you're looking for with Sobrenix that we'll refund your purchase no-questions-asked (even with this offer, our return rate is a low 2.3%). Take advantage of our low introductory price and 100% money-back guarantee today.
