Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Poker addiction: Poker addiction is common. Your father gets intense pleasure playing poker. Off the table, he is anxious, preoccupied with the thoughts of going back to play, and at the level of addiction, he puts top priority on poker over all other role play and obligations.
