Prison, Insanity, or Death | Bruce W’s Shocking Story of Gambling Addiction & Redemption
In this powerful episode of Nothing’s Off the Table, I sit down with my close friend Bruce W.—a man who went from stealing nearly $1M to feed his gambling addiction… to serving time on Rikers Island in 1972… to becoming one of the longest-standing voices of recovery in the compulsive gambling community.
Bruce doesn’t hold anything back:
-Growing up in a Brooklyn neighborhood where gambling was everywhere
-Stealing checks at PaineWebber to cover debts with the bookies
-Facing lie detector tests, FBI investigations, and finally prison time
-His first Gamblers Anonymous meeting that changed his life forever
-The spiritual awakening that has kept him gambling-free for 54 years
This is more than just a story about addiction. It’s about redemption, rebuilding trust, and learning to like yourself again after years of self-destruction.
If you or someone you love is struggling with gambling addiction, this episode is proof that recovery is possible.
