I am convinced that the single greatest thing that happens when people stop gambling and start to get help is they start to reconnect with other people.
Feeling alone in your struggle with addiction? You're not the only one. In this episode of 'The After Gambling Podcast', Jamie Salsburg dives into the deep-seated loneliness that often accompanies addiction.

Jamie emphasizes that one of the most powerful steps in recovery is reconnecting with others.
