TW: Gambling and Suicidal Thoughts.
Addiction comes in many forms, and in Gary's case, it was Gambling that was to bring him to his knees. What started as a fun distraction became an all encompassing nightmare for Gary, and everyone around him. If he wasn't gambling, he was obsessing about it, and thinking of ways he could get his next fix. As the money vanished, he would start stealing to cover his tracks. Gary estimates a total loss of $2m!!! But it was the emotional toll on him, his family, and his friends that really hit the hardest. As usual, we focus on the recovery, and we thank Gary for an amazingly vulnerable, honest, and inspiring episode.
