It was like insanity from the word, from the first bet I made.
Imagine being consumed by the thrill of gambling from a young age. That’s Paul’s story. He started out playing poker and flipping baseball cards, always chasing the next big win. By the age of twelve, he was already working in a bowling alley, not for the job itself, but for the chance to watch men play poker afterward. For Paul, gambling wasn't just a pastime; it was an obsession that followed him everywhere.
Even after getting married, his addiction didn't fade. Instead, it grew stronger, leading him to lie to his wife about his whereabouts and drop out of high school at sixteen. This episode of Steppin' Out Radio takes you through Paul's intense journey of addiction and his eventual path to recovery. You'll hear how he hit rock bottom and found solace in the 12-Step program, which helped him reclaim his life.
Paul’s story isn't just about the highs and lows of gambling; it’s about finding a way to live a fulfilling life beyond addiction. If you're struggling with similar issues or know someone who is, Paul's tale offers a beacon of hope and a roadmap to recovery.
