The trouble is when you cross the line into compulsive gambling- I'm a social gambler- you don't only lose your money, you start to lose other people's money, your credit cards.
Imagine the grip of an addiction so strong that it seeps into every corner of your life. In this episode of 'Your Bridge to Addiction Resources', Yvonne Stroman sits down with Bob Schwartz, who shares his harrowing 25-year battle with problem gambling. Bob opens up about how his seemingly harmless bets spiraled into a destructive force that strained his relationships, jeopardized his job, and drained his finances.
His story is a stark reminder of how gambling can quietly but devastatingly take over one's life. Bob's candid recounting includes the chilling moment he realized he was committing crimes to sustain his habit, something he never did for alcohol. Yet, his journey doesn't end in despair. Through intervention services and community support, Bob found a way out and now dedicates his life to helping others avoid the pitfalls of gambling addiction.
This episode is a compelling listen for anyone seeking to understand the deep impact of gambling addiction and the paths to recovery.
