Every problem that happened in my life was caused by gambling and I was going to bail out with a bet.
Bob’s story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows that began in the streets of New York City and took him all the way to the glitzy casinos of Las Vegas. Starting as a young boy pitching pennies and flipping baseball cards, Bob was hooked on the thrill of winning from an early age.
By 14, he was making sports bets with bookies, and his teenage years saw him frequenting racetracks, riding on a wave of early successes that made him feel invincible. When he first laid eyes on Las Vegas, it felt like the city was made just for him. Despite a successful career as an attorney, Bob's gambling addiction led him down a dark path filled with illegal activities and personal turmoil.
In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Bob opens up about his 28-year struggle with gambling addiction, sharing how it affected every aspect of his life. From the exhilarating wins to the devastating losses, he recounts his journey towards hitting rock bottom and the difficult road to recovery. The episode also features a financial counselor who offers practical advice for those grappling with gambling-related debt.
Bob’s candid reflections highlight the challenges of addiction and underscore the transformative power of the 12-step program in helping him regain control of his life. Whether you’re dealing with addiction yourself or know someone who is, Bob’s story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible.
