This book tells her searing story - from beginner's luck to rock bottom and beyond. It's a story packed with insight and principles gamblers can apply to their own situation. Lynette reveals the knowledge and attitudes needed to move towards a better life - how your next thought, feeling or action can make or break your future. An addiction to gambling can be a living hell for gamblers and those around them, but it doesn't have to get that bad. Here is hope and guidance to beat this increasingly common affliction, showing that you can get through it.
