“The initial boredom and restlessness can be unbearable, and in these seminal moments of Recovery, many compulsive gamblers simply fold under the pressure and return to action. All of that ‘one day at a time’ stuff is meager comfort when you’re struggling with your demons. And for those of us who sought refuge in action when confronted by unpleasant emotions, it can be especially difficult in those early days because it seems we have no place to hide. It is a big part of recovering; learning how to deal with our feelings in a mature fashion. If we are going to be healthy individuals, we have to stop running away from our problems.”

I found this book online at Amazon.com, and I recommend it to anyone seeking help in recovery.
