Compulsive gambling, also called gambling disorder, is the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on your life. Gambling means that you're willing to risk something you value in the hope of getting something of even greater value.What is your dream? What would you do if your dream came true? Compulsive gamblers go beyond all that. I know because I am a recovering compulsive gambler. My goal in writing this book goes beyond the story to the fantasy and how it looks over time, both in recovery and as the addict goes down the proverbial rabbit hole.
