I thought they were going to come in and tell me how I'm going to pay back all this money that I stole, and I didn't take the program seriously in the beginning. I was in GA two months before I went to prison, so you had started the recovery process before going away right, and in prison I started to realize what GA is.
Ron’s gambling journey started at the tender age of 10 on the bustling streets of New York City. He learned the art of shooting dice on street corners, quickly getting hooked on the thrill.
