Life is a Gamble - Part 4 (The Final Meltdown)

Episode 16

Monday, June 13, 2022 • Duration 34:33

Over the course of a 20+ year gambling addiction, I had many nights where I quit gambling. However, I always found a reason to start back up again. In this episode, I talk about the two major times that I quit gambling in my life and what led to that. The first time was back in 2013 and I ended up quitting for about 18-months. The second time I quit was in 2019 and it was the last time I have gambled in my life. Check out what I have to say regarding my emotions, feelings, how I came clean, how I found help, and what I have learned in the last three years since I have stopped gambling. Have any questions? Need any extra details? Need somebody just to listen to you about your gambling addiction? Drop me a message, I'll be glad to help.

Life is a Gamble - Part 2 (First Time: Casinos, Sports, Blackjack, Poker, & Vegas)

Episode 14

Monday, April 6, 2020 • Duration 39:02

I have been a gambling addict for as far back as I can remember. As of March 25th, 2020 I hit my one-year mark of being "sober" from gambling. In this multi-part podcast, I am taking you back to my early days of when I believe my gambling problem started kicking in, through the highs and lows of a life spent at the card table. Comedy has taken me to many casino shows over the years...and having disposable income with nothing to do 23-hours a day can lead to trouble. For years, I learned how to hold them and how to fold them...and I finally had to learn "when to walk away". In Part 2 of this story - we are talking about me turning 21 and getting into a casino the first time. Learn how these early years formed my habits of "paying things off with gambling winnings" and "borrowing to play". You'll hear about how I went from "here's a fun game" to "here's a game I can beat". How does one even get immersed in Sports betting? Listen to how easy it was for me to win my first time and see what that kind of mind-trickery can do for somebody with an addictive personality. Finally, I discuss how I won my way into going to Vegas for the first time and how I got hooked on a feeling while I was out there. It's all there for you and I'm holding nothing back. Have any questions? Need any extra details? Need somebody just to listen to you about your gambling addiction? Drop me a message, I'll be glad to help.
