Reflections: Poetry and Verses for the Compulsive Gambler in Recovery J. M. Mazzitelli

Reflection is a collection of poems and verses written by a recovered gambler for other powerless and compulsive gamblers in the hope that they can find the road to recovery. Poetry has been the vehicle for me to not only express my deepest feelings but to aid in my recovery process. The act of creating a poem and transferring it from thoughts to paper helps relieve some of the pain I feel for those I love but have hurt through my illness as a compulsive gambler. Please accept this collection of poetry as measure of sincerity with the hope of bringing relief to other gamblers who still suffer. The Compulsive Gambler
