Recovery is about controlling your emotions, setting your thermostat to the degree that you want to be, not allowing life's outside influences to determine your mood, your emotions where you are hot and cold, because if you live like that, it's going to be really tough for you, and that's how it was for me when I was getting high or when I was gambling, and I can't afford to live like that.
Ever wondered how gambling can spiral out of control? In this episode of 'The Sober Plug', host Connor Duffy shares his personal journey through the dark world of gambling addiction. Initially overshadowed by other addictions, Connor's gambling problem soon took center stage, plunging him into a debt of over $35,000. He recounts the relentless chase of 'the big win' that never came and the lengths he went to hide his losses from friends and family.
Connor's story isn't just about the chaos of addiction; it's also about finding clarity and a path to recovery. He opens up about the emotional turmoil and isolation he faced, and how he eventually turned things around by focusing on emotional control and sobriety. This episode offers a raw, honest look at the unmanageability of addiction and the steps one can take to reclaim their life.
Whether you're battling an addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Connor's insights provide hope and practical advice. Tune in for a compelling narrative that sheds light on the complexities of gambling addiction and the resilience needed to overcome it.
