Losing Your Shirt : Recovery for Compulsive Gamblers and Their Families Book

Mary Heineman's authoritative book about compulsive gambling is as complete as it is compassionate. Losing Your Shirt offers a non-threatening approach to the problems encountered with compulsive gambling, both for the addicted and the addicted's loved ones. Individuals struggling to overcome compulsive gambling will see themselves in the book's powerful personal narratives. And, family members will learn not to blame themselves; not to resent the time and effort recovery takes; and not to condemn forever the recovering gambler for hardships caused by past gambling.
