Pathological gambling has devastating effects on finances, families, communities, and lives. It can be even more thoroughly destructive than substance addictions.
Gambling isn't always just a bit of fun. Sometimes, it spirals into something much darker and more destructive. In this eye-opening episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Denise Quirk, LMFT, clinical director and CEO of the nonprofit Reno Problem Gambling Center, to tackle the often-overlooked issue of pathological gambling.
Denise shares her expertise on how to distinguish between harmless recreation and a full-blown addiction that can wreak havoc on finances, families, and communities. They discuss the subtle signs that gambling has crossed the line, and the critical importance of early intervention and effective treatment options. The episode also sheds light on why seniors are particularly vulnerable to this hidden addiction.
If you or someone you care about might be struggling with gambling, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a compassionate and informative conversation that could make all the difference.
