Episode 3: One year

 Just posted the third episode of the Winning Daily podcast. We dive into a few recovery wins this past week from finally coming out a winner in Vegas (by not gambling) and hitting the one year mark of recovery from the crippling gambling addiction. I talk about what has worked for me this past year and how I have been able to get through the first 365 days of the rest of my life. Recovery is not one size fits all. Everyone's recovery is going to look different. What works for one, won't necessarily work for others. If it seems of interest, listen here:

Find a group where you feel you belong. Find a group of people who understand what you’re going through. If you can not find them. Create one. And that's exactly what I did with the “Compulsive Gamblers in Recovery'' Discord server. I created an area for other humans (and yes, I said humans. We’re not perfect. We have flaws. We did horrible things but that does not make us horrible people) struggling with gambling addiction looking to recover and live a life freed from the shackles of gambling. This space continues to grow daily which I am extremely grateful for. The more reach to other gamblers looking to change their lives the better. Soon we will start having weekly calls. I will probably start those up in the next month or so. If any of this feels of interest to you, feel free to join here: https://discord.gg/JwEEP6W9

Stay grinding, stop gambling. Life gets better. One day at a time.
