To me, people think of, in my experience, going to the slot machine going to play poker- not these bits and pieces that you're talking about- and, frankly, even the children that are sitting on their ipads and watching the youtube and playing the video games with their friends.
Picture this: a professional cellist, a soccer coach, and a devoted family man, all rolled into one. But there's more to Ted Hartwell's story than meets the eye. In this episode of 'Recovery Hour', host Lori Windfeldt sits down with Ted, an Affiliate Representative with the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling, to discuss his incredible journey from the depths of gambling addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others.
Ted's candid recounting of his struggles and triumphs is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Lori and Ted dive into the biochemistry of addiction, offering listeners a deeper understanding of how gambling can take hold of one's life. They also tackle the big question: how do you know if you have a gambling problem? With eye-opening statistics and real-life anecdotes, this episode sheds light on the often-overlooked issue of gambling addiction.
From cross-addiction to the impact on families, no stone is left unturned. And just when you think it can't get more informative, they discuss collegiate-level gambling and the growing concern of internet gaming disorder. Whether you're personally affected by gambling or know someone who is, this episode is packed with resources and insights to help navigate the path to recovery. Tune in for a conversation that's as educational as it is empathetic.
