Keys to Successful Gambling Addiction Recovery - Part 2

Footwork of Recovery
  • Requires work, persistence, 100% commitment
  • Working the Steps - essential
  • You can not do it your own way
  • Recovery is a marathon, not a 100 yard dash
  • Patience and persistence are required
  • Recovery is a "life long process"
  • Guarding against overconfidence
  • Beware of cross addictions:  replacement addiction behavior
  • Does clean time equal good recovery?
  • Watch out for "switched addictions"
"You have to be as committed to your recovery as you were to your addiction"
