Lorri Pickens, Executive Director, Citizens Against Expanded Gambling, Inc.
The compulsive gambling crisis in this country today is bleeding profusely. Counselors and therapists warn of the possible entrapment of our youth. Gambling helplines are getting flooded with calls 24 hours a day. Ages range from the very young to the elderly at gambling treatment centers. What this all equates to is a massive $120 billion industry tipping the scales of disadvantage. In the “pros” and “cons” world of compulsive gambling, the pros can be counted on one hand while the cons stretch for miles.
There is one common denominator that best describes every case of compulsive gambling: It never ends well. The only solution to compulsive gambling is recovery. This book has all the answers for those who choose to recover and for those who need more knowledge about the gambling mania that is hemorrhaging at this very moment.
“Timothy J. Nilsson’s engaging first-hand narratives detail the parallels of gambling addiction to drug addiction. His fascinating and disturbing stories necessarily prod gambling addicts and their innocent victims toward the exemplary programs of Gamblers Anonymous.”
Professor John Kindt, Em., University of Illinois

Store description
Sharing is the best surprise When we share our excess with others we¿re often surprised by what we feel, what changes in us, and who we get to know in the process. Sharehouse Goods exists to create that experience for as many people as possible. Sharehouse Goods receives excess stuff from individuals or organizations (our sharers), and then we liquidate that stuff, creating jobs for people in Milwaukee. The process is simple: we receive what people are willing to share, and then we sell it online or at our storefront, creating revenue for the sharers (to keep or to donate), and jobs for people who are struggling to find employment. There¿s a lot of sharing going on, and even more surprises, at Sharehouse Goods.…
