Summary:Have you ever watched while someone you cared about drank until he literally fell down trying to walk out of the bar? What about seeing the desperation on the face of a loved one trying to win back some of the thousands lost at the blackjack table? Or grimly helping carry out the "spoils of victory" obtained in the latest shopping spree of a near-and-dear compulsive spender - especially when you know her credit cards are now all "maxed" out? In this video, Richard Hill explains how all of those seemingly unrelated behaviours, and more, are in fact coming from the same brain wiring: or perhaps we should say "brain re-wiring", for that is indeed the process we are talking about when we discuss substance abuse and compulsive behaviours.
