What's the best way to move forward after deciding to quit gambling? Is it really a good idea to remind ourselves? Or should we forget it ever happened and move on with our lives?

In this episode, I share what I've seen in order to help you with your recovery plan.

It's often said that problem gamblers chase losses. While it's fundamentally true, I come at this with a different angle that I believe can help us to see the full story.

In this episode, I'm joined by Keith Whyte, Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling here in the United States. We discuss the Responsible Gaming Principles for Sports Gambling Legislation outlined by the NCPG and wonder aloud why there is widespread support for the guidelines, until it comes time to implement them.

What good is coming from arguing with each other? What good is trying to censor recovery resources? What the hell is our goal?

I wanted to shake up the format of the show a bit, so I figured let's call it season III and get to work. I'll be posting shorter, but more frequent episodes. However, we'll still have the longer format for interviews.

Also, I'll be doing a lot more on social media, so follow along there:

Living with a gambling addiction is both mentally and physically exhausting. Even in recovery, exhaustion can lead to anxiety and depression. In this episode, we talk about exhaustion from gambling and I suggest ideas to help in recovery.

When in the midst of a gambling, we create walls of lies that separate us from our family, friends and work lives. In recovery, we need to begin to remove these walls to return to the person we were prior to our addiction.

Bans and potential bans on gambling—especially during live sport—are a hot topic these days. In this episode, I share a unique solution to this complicated issue that.
