Having gone through the tunnel and made it out the other side, Howard Riback is a gambling survivor who has seen it all. After 25 years of gambling, Howard overcame his own addiction and is living proof that an addiction can be cured quickly and permanently. Riback has built a new career as a counselor, TV/radio personality, and court-appointed therapist for those in real financial trouble (trying to avoid jail for possible fraudulent acts).
But forget the white-coat approach. Howard's experience led him to create a unique approach to treating compulsive gambling based on practical methods and proven results. The extent of theory in Howard's methods can be summed up in his own words: "It takes a former addict to know an addict."
