I just finished reading Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Quit Gambling, and I gotta say, it’s been a total game-changer for me. I’ve been in the grip of gambling addiction for years, tried everything self-exclusion, therapy, even going cold turkey but nothing seemed to stick. I was skeptical about yet another self-help book, but a friend recommended it, so I thought, why not give it a shot?
Carr’s method is like nothing I’ve tried before. Instead of relying on willpower alone, he transforms how you perceive gambling. He reveals it as a trap. There’s no scare tactics here, just straightforward talk that respects your intelligence. It’s like he’s gently guiding you to realize that gambling isn’t fun or a way to make money; it’s just a cycle of misery and loss.
What really hit home for me was how he dismantles the psychological tricks that ensnare us. The positive reinforcement throughout the book made me feel empowered and in control of my decision to quit. I felt a shift in my mindset. I no longer saw gambling as a source of excitement but as something destructive. It’s been three months since I finished the book, and I haven’t gambled once. The urges are still there sometimes, but they’re weaker and easier to dismiss.
If you’re struggling with gambling and haven’t found success with other methods, I highly recommend giving Easy Way to Quit Gambling a try. It’s not just about quitting; it’s about transforming how you think about gambling altogether. It worked for me, and I believe it can work for you too.
Let me know if you have any questions on the book, you can buy it at Amazon or any book store. It’s a quick easy read, and hard to put down once you start it up. Hope this helps at least one person out there struggling.
