At some point there is no excuse: either you want to do everything it takes to make it happen or you don't, and that's something that I think about every day. And that's not a bet that I'm willing to make pretty much, and that's it.
Mark R. has a story that many can relate to but few talk about openly. In this episode of 'Podcast Recovery', he lays bare his struggles with gambling addiction, sharing the raw and often painful impact it had on his life. Mark recounts the moment his partner discovered he had been using her savings to fuel his gambling habit, a turning point that led him to seek help.
He speaks candidly about the challenges he faced, from the strain on personal relationships to the internal battle of breaking free from addiction's grip. Yet, amidst the turmoil, Mark found strength in the support of loved ones and a newfound awareness of his condition. He also touches on how fantasy sports played a role in his life and the importance of setting boundaries to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Mark's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery. His journey serves as a reminder that no matter how deep the addiction, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.
