Sometimes in recovery, you meet someone whose story feels less like coincidence and more like destiny. That was the case when I first heard Adam H share his journey. On an ordinary Saturday morning, while celebrating 15 years free from gambling, Adam spoke with a depth and honesty that felt like a spiritual awakening. In that moment, it was clear his path and mine had crossed for a reason.

Adam’s life before recovery was marked by loss, of peace, stability, and even the will to go on. His addiction took him to the edge of the Golden Gate Bridge, where he believed his suffering had reached its end. But that same moment of despair became the beginning of something greater: a return to life through the rooms of Gamblers Anonymous, and his faith in God. 

Today, Adam stands as proof of what honesty, humility, and perseverance can restore. His journey is not only about breaking free from gambling, but about rediscovering faith, reclaiming identity, and embracing the power of community. His story reminds us that even in our darkest hours, hope has a way of finding us, and leading us back to life.
