Greg, I didn't know that you had a license to practice as a shrink! Your advice is right on the money. Now I need some input about another problem. See, I have this friend who has an overwhelming compulsion to snatch roulettes from any casino that he visits. He has gotten caught 3 times by what he refers to as the "chip police". I keep telling him that he has to seek professional help, but he refuses & continues with his destructive practices. He is going to Las Vegas sometime in August, & doesn't know what to do. Can you offer any hints?
