Welcome back to Gambling Recovery, Taking Back Your Life. I’m your host, Jimmy M. This is where we dive into the real and raw stories of gambling addiction and the journey to recovery. Today, we’re stepping into the life of Bob S., a man whose journey with gambling addiction took him from the thrill of dominoes with his grandparents to a hotel room in Cleveland. A night where he hit his own rock bottom. At 37, with a new promotion in hand and a family waiting back home, Bob found himself drowning in despair, his life unraveled by a decades-long battle with a Gambling disease that started innocently enough but grew into a relentless force. From caddie shack card games to secret credit lines with bookies, Bob’s story is one of chasing wins, hiding losses, and ultimately facing the truth. How did he get there? And more importantly, how did he climb out? This is a tale of highs and lows, deception and discovery, and a powerful reminder that sometimes, the hardest confessions lead to the greatest freedom. Let’s get into it.
