It's an ode to humility and vulnerability and what it's like to grow up where the only thing you really understand is the back.
Ever wondered how a gambling addiction can start from a desire to defy control? Bob G. takes you through his gripping story of compulsive gambling and the path to recovery. As a young man, Bob was court-ordered to attend a program for his drinking problem, which ironically fueled his gambling habits. Determined not to let anyone dictate his actions, he found himself signing out of casinos and battling foreclosure on his home. But Bob's journey didn't end there.
He found solace and strength in GA meetings and self-exclusion programs, which were crucial in helping him achieve sobriety. Now, Bob is dedicated to spreading awareness about gambling addiction through his book, 'Playing to Lose'. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of humility and vulnerability in the recovery process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for an authentic tale of struggle and triumph over addiction.
