At 29 years old, Doug’s opioid addiction had progressed from prescription painkillers to heroin, drug dealing, jail, and a moment when he no longer cared whether he lived or died. Now, after 15 years sober, Doug shares how he rebuilt his life, became a leader in the addiction treatment field, and helped others—including Bobby—find lasting recovery. He also explains why getting through treatment is only the beginning, how spirituality shaped his recovery, and why learning to handle everyday life is essential to staying sober. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, reaching out for help could be the first step toward a completely different life.

Rob shares how sports betting, online casinos, slots and day trading developed into a six-year gambling addiction that repeatedly left him in debt. He opens up about the 12-hour casino binge that became his final day gambling, the practical barriers that helped him stop and how helping others gave his recovery a new purpose.

Rob and Bobby also discuss why gambling addiction is about more than money, how chasing losses takes over a person’s life and what specialized treatment can offer. Carlsbad Beach Recovery provides individualized outpatient treatment for gambling addiction with experienced therapists, case managers and recovery professionals.

If gambling has become the center of your life—or you’re concerned about someone you love—help is available.
