• It is possible to become addicted to gambling in as few as six days! That's right just 6 days and you're hooked. Gambling is as addictive as cocaine! 
• If you gamble more than $1500 per year or more than 3 times per year you may be a problem gambler or be at risk of becoming a problem gambler! 

Don't put yourself at risk - any longer - it's not worth it in the end! 

Do you think that because you are winning money and because you're winning that gambling is not a problem, for you?

• Think again that is your addictive mind trying to trick you! 
• To win $6000 you have to bet $8000. That's how the odds of losing are created, and the odds of winning are orchestrated to favor the house. That $2000 you lost is what the casino uses to pay staff, and stake holders.
Can you recognize it's not all about the money? Gambling costs more in time and lost productivity than most troubled gamblers are aware of.

Are you still wondering if you are ready to quit gambling? 

O Yes

Let's examine your alternatives for breaking a gambling addiction: 

I. You can attend a class on addiction or attend a problem support group to help you determine if you require more help than your will power alone can provide you with. 

This is a great way to get you thinking in the right direction. Using your will power to help you hit the brakes and STOP gambling is an excellent way to spark your recovery efforts. Don't be fooled though, the creative intelligence of your own mind is no match for will power. Relying on will power exclusively is often why relapse occurs. 

II. You can see a counselor, therapist or doctor. 
Professional help will provide you with the impartial and unbiased view that it is often required to help you get your recovery bearings set into place. But you may not always get a trained seasoned professional who understands money addictions. 

III. Your can do some more self-study and research into the extent of your gambling.
Did a friend recommend our website to you? If so, consider yourself lucky, because you have someone who cares enough to want to help. 
Their support will make it easier to stop gambling. It is up to you to take action. 
Entertain the possibility that you are looking for help

. Think about what you can do to help yourself live a life FREE from gambling forever and ask yourself;

Do I really want to save some money and enjoy life without gambling? 
O Yes 
O No

WHAT ARE MONEY ADDICTIONS?

Mr. Slater is a author of a book on money addictions and I believe we need to overcome what Slater wrote about in 1980 -- our addiction to "moneythink." We need to rediscover that life is about choices and experiences we create, not things we buy or want to buy. In the book, Slater tells us that wealth addiction can take many forms -- money addiction, possession addiction, power addiction, fame addiction, spending addiction, and in my minds eye we at MAA  include problem gambling and we treat all of these issues with a fully qualified staff.

An addiction is a need that is not only

(1) intense and

(2) chronic, but also

3) feels as if it were essential to our sense of wholeness.

Addictions have to do with our feeling about ourselves: If you think you would feel incomplete, less of a person, or unable to function well without something -- even for a little while -- then you are addicted to that something."

Money disorders are "hidden disorders" and also qualify as addictions. MAA at Phoenix Psychotherapy is a comprehensive Money Addictions Treatment Program. MAA is licensed through Mr. Ganzer's credential's and is also approved by the New York Council on Problem Gambling. MAA offers a multitude of services to the money addict, their family members, and all others in their lives who are impacted by this disorder. We utilize cognitive behavioral, rational behavioral, and 12 step approaches to treat this mental health illness.

What is our treatment like?

We are a private totally confidential non-clinic type of operation. We consider the privacy of our clients first. You don't get mixed in with Medicaid or other dependent clients. We treat you one on one and establish a personal and specialized treatment plan for you. It's just like private one -on-one therapy without the high cost.
