Why Going Solo in Gambling Recovery is a Tough Bet

The fear is that you start to feel a little too good too soon and you start to stop doing the things that were starting to work for you before they even really get going.
Ever tried to quit gambling on your own, only to find yourself back at square one? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The After Gambling Podcast', Jamie Salsburg, a former compulsive gambler, shares his journey of battling addiction and the crucial role a support system played in his recovery. Jamie opens up about the common mistake many make: trying to quit without any help. He highlights how meetings, weekly check-ins, and a strong network can make all the difference.
Jamie also tackles the stigma around seeking help and emphasizes that reaching out isn't a sign of weakness but a smart strategy for success. He warns against the 'feel-good trap', where you start feeling better and prematurely stop doing the things that were helping you. If you or someone you care about is struggling with gambling addiction, Jamie's insights could be the game-changer you need.
Tune in to learn why fighting this battle alone is often a losing bet and discover the power of community in overcoming addiction.
