Gambling 21

Shawn and Drew's 21 Steps to STOP Gambling System and Workbooks provide the step-by-step guidance you need to defeat your gambling addiction and restore a healthier, happier lifestyle.

The 21 Steps to stop gambling were originally created in 2002 by Shawn Jordan while building a foundation for his own recovery from his once serious gambling problem. Using insights, an introspective approach to writing, the help of an addictions counsellor, and the encouragement of his family's psychologist, the original manuscript for the 21 steps to recovery system was created.

From 2002 to 2007, the manuscript was converted into a comprehensive set of 21 workbooks and support system tailored to suit the 21 steps. The entire system now shares a collection of recovery-oriented wisdom offered by the writing, design, and editing team, which included a responsible gambler, several non-gamblers, and a diverse group of healthy and balanced thinkers, including many of Shawn's friends, family, and co-workers.

Shawn and Drew's 21 Steps to STOP Gambling Workbooks and System includes directions, recovery-oriented insights, and a comprehensive and detailed set of exercises to help guide people who are affected by gambling to lose their gambling related distractions and realize how to focus on living a full and enriching life, without the need to gamble.

With the helpful guidance of this "how to recover" system, it becomes possible to understand how to convert destructive thinking patterns and behaviours into productive activities and a healthy form of energy that can change how gambling is perceived and acted upon, by those who are adversely affected by the outcomes of gambling.

The workbooks offer information about problem gambling and its symptoms, so they also serve as an early warning system for responsible gamblers who might encounter trouble down the road.

As well, family, friends, and employers will benefit greatly when a problem gambler successfully navigates the road to recovery.

To understand how an individual step works, you can read the system's first step, entitled Admitting You Have a Problem.
