    Adam does a great job at sharing his story and bringing light to gambling issues and thoughts that many compulsive gamblers and even those who aren’t can benefit from.

  • Genuine and Sincere

    Adam’s approach to gambling is met with a combination of genuine and sincere space for others. He can sit with a difficult conversation, disagree, inquire, and find space to learn. It’s clear his passion drives him to be a loud resource in a space that is too often met with silence. Highly recommend.

  • Captivating

    This pod is one of the best I’ve ever listened to. The design with Adams personal shares at the beginning is calming, funny, interesting, relatable. I’ve often thought the way he tells his story is like listening to an audiobook. Thank you for showing up in a meaningful way. Sending my love, respect and support.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 128 - Twenty Cents of Hope | Austin P.
Q: What has helped you most to stay on the recovery path over the last year?
A combination of daily routines, including morning gratitude, AA and GA meetings, sober living, and consistent work; plus peer support and a supportive work rebuild, which together create a structure that replaces the old gambling-driven hamster wheel.
Ep. 128 - Twenty Cents of Hope | Austin P.
Q: What was different about the rehab this time compared to earlier attempts?
He explains that it was life-or-death this time and that he approached it as a job, engaging fully with the program, committing to daily habits, and building a sustainable foundation through work, fitness, meditation, and honesty.
Ep. 127 - It’s More Than a Financial Problem | Jimmy Morris
Q: What was it like leading up to February 9th, 2012, and why did it click for you then?
Repeated bailouts by parents and escalating destructive behavior culminated in a breaking point where continuing the cycle felt intolerable, especially with legal and personal consequences looming.
Ep. 127 - It’s More Than a Financial Problem | Jimmy Morris
Q: Why don't you talk about dollar amounts on the podcast?
Dollar amounts can trigger others in early recovery, so he avoids specifics to protect listeners and maintain a supportive environment.
Ep. 131 - Not Quite Ready For Never | Mary Santora (Part 2)
Q: What would you tell someone listening who is early in recovery and still in the 'mostlys' stage?
Keep seeking honest conversations, try different meeting formats (including Zoom), consider one-on-one support, and remember that progress is non-linear but possible with persistence and community.
