Previous "What’s New"
Hazelden
|
Hazelden specializes in books, workbooks and guides for people in recovery from a wide range of addictions. They’ve been around a long time, and publish some of the best addictions self-help resources.
We are pleased to feature several of their most recent offerings.
Though each book addresses a different issue – compulsive gambling, borderline personality disorder, adolescent father loss and women’s recovery from alcoholism – a common thread in all these books is that Recovery is possible.
These are hope-filled books that tell personal stories of painful real-life struggles, the obstacles along the way, the support gained from fellow travelers on the recovery path, and the ultimate sense of healing that is possible from addiction, loss and grief.

Born to Lose: Memoirs of a Compulsive Gambler
Bill Lee
This is Bill Lee's story of his gambling addiction, which is set in San Francisco's China Town and steeped in a culture where it is not unheard of for gamblers to lose their children to a bet. With gritty honesty and true humility, Lee describes what gambling addiction feels like and looks like from the inside and tells the story of the gambling binge that brought him to financial ruin. In the end, however, Born to Lose is a memoir of hope as Lee reveals how recovery from his gambling addiction has been possible through the Twelve-Step Program.
