Stinky Thinkin: My Story of Compulsive Gambling and Recovery

Stinky Thinkin

Al Fisher began his gambling career at the age of four and ended it over four decades later. What started as enjoyable family time with his parents as a child, turned into total destruction of the life he once led. At the point of prison, insanity, or death, Al decided to do what seemed impossible - stop gambling.

This is the true story of Al's journey from living on the gambling crazy train, contemplating suicide and facing imprisonment, to the fulfilling life of sobriety he lives today.

This boldly honest memoir depicts the distorted thinking of a man living with addiction, and the effects on his loved ones and himself. Al illustrates that sobriety is within reach and what it takes to get there. It is Al's hope that this book helps compulsive gamblers and addicts of all types, as well as the loved ones of those suffering from the disease of addiction.
