Noah is in his early 20's and has been in Gamblers Anonymous for just over a year. Noah was brought up by his grandmother and he rebelled in his mid-teens and left home and eventually left school early. He discusses how his gambling progressed from playing Poker with friends in high school, to becoming a serious gambler after visiting a casino when he turned 18.He found that gambling offered him an escape from reality – the family, personal issues and his mum's drug addiction.  The turning point was when he noticed the impact of his gambling on his family and considered suicide as a way out of his gambling problems. He contacted Gambler's Help but found more support in Gamblers Anonymous - where he identified with the stories of other gamblers and their non-judgemental approach.Initially Noah spent 3 months in GA, before gambling again for a few months, and has now been in GA for over 14 months without gambling.  He feels a strong bond with GA and the other members and to keeping the meetings open for those seeking help with their gambling addiction.If you're having trouble with gambling, or have a friend or family member that does, then maybe Gamblers Anonymous could help – phone (03) 9696 6108 or visit their website gaaustralia.org.au for information and to see a list of local meetings.Show your support to the Living Free show by:subscribing to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/subscribeand donating to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/donateUnfortunately, we are unable to include the music we played in our Podcast, due to Copyright issues, but we are happy to support Australian music via the Australian Music Radio Airplay Project (AMRAP) https://amrap.org.au/ Here are the links to the artists and song played on today's show:Emily Jane Pritchard - Never Ending Holiday: https://amrap.org.au/track/emily-jane-pritchard-never-ending-holidayKim O'Leary - Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground: https://amrap.org.au/track/kim-oleary-your-feet-dont-touch-the-ground-your-feet-dont-touch-the-groundThe Redeemed - The Ride and Summer Surprise: https://amrap.org.au/track/the-redeemed-the-ride-the-ridehttps://amrap.org.au/track/the-redeemed-summer-surprise-summer-surprise

Welcome to On The Punt With Corey Oates & Kip Wightman! Join them as they go through their weekly punts*. Round 24 and the NRL season is reaching the pointy end. How will our beloved Broncos fare after losing a whopping 3 men to injuries? Join us for a weekly roundup, it's getting interesting now

Text and Be HeardThe landscape of addiction recovery is constantly evolving, particularly as gambling itself transforms in the digital age. What happens when betting moves from the buzzing energy of casinos and racetracks to the silent isolation of smartphone screens? How does this shift impact both the addiction and the recovery process?Our guest Marque shares his powerful journey through gambling addiction and into sustainable recovery, highlighting the transformative impact of Step 10 in the Twelve Step program. Unlike earlier steps that focus on past behaviors, Step 10 brings accountability into the present moment through daily self-examination. "This gives me the opportunity to right my ship today, tomorrow, every day," Marque explains, revealing how this continuous practice creates a foundation for lasting change. The simple yet profound question—"Did I bring harmony to my world today?"—has revolutionized his approach to recovery and relationships.We also explore the crucial importance of diversity in recovery spaces. When Marquis first attended Gamblers Anonymous in 1997, he encountered rooms dominated by older white men, creating an initial impression of disconnect despite the shared addiction experience. Today's more diverse recovery communities help newcomers see themselves reflected in the room before they even hear the similarities in experiences. This visual connection can be the difference between someone staying for their first meeting or walking away. The conversation takes a sobering turn as we discuss how modern gambling has evolved into an increasingly isolated activity through digital platforms, making it harder for problem gamblers to find connection and support. As addiction becomes more invisible, reaching those who are suffering requires new approaches.The heart of recovery remains unchanged despite these evolutions—meaningful human connection breaks through the isolation of addiction. Whether through working the steps with a sponsor, attending meetings, or building friendships within the program, recovery thrives when we include others in our journey. If you're struggling with gambling or any addiction, remember that connection is the antidote to isolation. Reach out, join a meeting, and discover the transformative power of shared experience.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

Stephen Matos, a person in long-term recovery, joins TJ on the Recovery Matters podcast to share his incredible journey since his last use of drugs and alcohol in 1986 and his last gambling experience in 1987. Stephen opens up about his upbringing in Hartford, Connecticut, where his father was deeply entrenched in gambling activities. He recounts how his own descent into alcohol, drugs, and gambling almost destroyed his life, leading to broken relationships and financial ruin. However, recovery came through Gamblers Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, and intensive outpatient programs. Stephen highlights his role as a peer counselor in Connecticut's exemplary problem gambling treatment programs, underscoring the importance of lived experience in offering hope and support to others. His narrative also sheds light on the stigma surrounding gambling addiction and the critical need for comprehensive treatment and recovery resources.00:00 Introduction and Host Backgrounds00:36 Growing Up with a Gambling Father04:51 Early Exposure to Alcohol and Drugs06:59 The Impact of Gambling on Relationships09:58 Descent into Addiction16:15 Turning Point and Seeking Help18:30 Recovery Journey and Support Systems21:51 The Journey of Recovery21:58 Managing Money and Responsibilities22:24 The Role of AA and GA in Recovery22:48 Strained Relationship with Father23:24 Making Amends and Financial Accountability23:52 Mending the Relationship with Father24:27 A New Chapter: Becoming a Peer Counselor25:06 Training and Embracing Multiple Pathways of Recovery25:58 Working with Problem Gamblers and Their Families27:58 Connecticut's Leading Gambling Treatment Programs29:37 The Importance of Lived Experience in Recovery33:03 Helpline and Support Resources35:20 Advice for Newcomers in Recovery36:48 Addressing Stigma and Shame in Gambling Addiction41:05 Concluding Thoughts and Gratitude  ----Across the Web----

Adrian is in his 30's and has been in Gamblers Anonymous for five years. He discusses how his gambling progressed from sports betting with the help of older kids at 13 years old, underage horse punting at TABs with school friends to becoming a serious problem in his life before he turned 18. It affected Adrian's school and personal life and mixing betting and drinking soon made his situation much worse.  He found recovery in Gamblers Anonymous after debt collectors contacted his parents and exposed his gambling addiction. He has now built a contented life without needing to gamble. GA helped Adrian to understand and overcome his addiction to gambling through the 12 Steps of recovery and he is keen to share his experience with other young problem gamblers.If you're having trouble with gambling, or have a friend or family member that does, then maybe Gamblers Anonymous could help – phone (03) 9696 6108 or visit their website gaaustralia.org.au for information and to see a list of local meetings.You can also listen to Adrian's earlier podcast: https://www.3cr.org.au/livingfree/episode/gamblers-anonymous-adrian-08jun2023Show your support to the Living Free show by:subscribing to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/subscribeand donating to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/donate

In today's media, it is impossible not to see an ad for the latest gambling service. If you don't already know, gambling is risking money or something of value on an event with an unknown outcome and can be done both online and in-person, on anything from slot machines to a sports game. While it may seem fun to win some money on something, gambling comes with a bunch of risks, and it's not just losing money.    Links: If you or someone you know might struggle with gambling visit https://www.nhproblemgambling.org/ for information and resources Explore psychology resources and therapy services on Psychology Today's website Explore Gamblers Anonymous website for resources and services Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union  Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.      If you decide to gamble, it is very important to gamble safely. Before you try your luck, consider setting some guidelines to stick to. Limit how much you want to gamble, and don't exceed that limit. If you have the unfortunate experience of losing all the money you set aside to gamble, walk away. Don't put any more money down to chase a win. If you decide to gamble, keep it in a social setting with supportive friends who can help you stick to your plan. Also, try to avoid excessive alcohol and drug use while gambling, as that might influence you to make rash decisions and gamble more.    While most people who have placed a bet have done so without problems, some have gone on to develop a gambling addiction.  The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, which is a diagnostic tool published by the American Psychiatric Association, classifies gambling problems as an addictive disorder. Similarly to drugs and alcohol, a gambling addiction involves an increased tolerance that results in the feeling of gambling even more to feel satisfied. People with a gambling addiction who try to quit will go through similar withdrawal symptoms, such as an urge to gamble and irritability.     With unchecked gambling issues, it can quickly turn from a fun way to win or lose money to costing you a fortune, going into debt, mental health issues, and even bringing harm to your friends and family. The first part is obvious: the more you gamble, the more likely you will lose more and more money. Watching your finances go down the drain will impact your mental health. Often when this happens, a gambling addict will keep going back in an attempt to win their money back. This spiraling behavior can strain your loved ones, especially your family or people who might rely on you.    An estimated 0.4% to 2% of the world's population has a gambling addiction. You are more likely to develop a gambling addiction if you have any other addictions or have a psychiatric condition. For example, an estimated 4% of people treated for substance abuse also have a gambling addiction. A lower income is also linked to having a gambling addiction, as people are looking for a big win to give them a step up.    If you believe you may have a gambling problem or addiction, there are options to help you. Going to therapy is a significant first step. Many therapists are knowledgeable about gambling addictions and trained to help you overcome them. You can visit psychologytoday.com to find the right therapist for you. There are also support groups like Gamblers Anonymous, where you can talk to other people with gambling problems and share experiences.    Gambling can be fun, but it's risky. Please play responsibly.    If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Tim shares his story of developing a gambling habit through underage gambling on poker machines as part of social activity with family and friends.  He always had some anxiety and when he discovered alcohol relieved it his drinking began in earnest.  Tim's drinking and then drug use increased in his late teens when he went overseas and was working in hospitality. He had a nervous breakdown in his early twenties but was not yet ready to stop drinking until his life was a mess about 5 years later.Tim went to AA meetings in his late twenties, and it helped him to straighten out most of his problems, but he found that his social gambling was now becoming more of an obsession and difficult to control. His finances were getting out of control and after 10 years in AA, Tim found his way to Gamblers Anonymous and now he has nearly 10 years without gambling.Even then, with the help of AA and GA, Tim realized that his underlying mental health issues were a major contributor to his behaviour and sought professional help. With proper medication Tim's now able to live in the day fully.If you're having trouble with gambling, or have a friend or family member that does, then maybe Gamblers Anonymous could help – phone (03) 9696 6108 or visit their website gaaustralia.org.au for information and to see a list of local meetings.Alcoholics Anonymous: phone 1300 222 222 or check out their website aa.org.auNarcotics Anonymous: call 1300 652 820 or go online at na.org.auShow your support to the Living Free show by:subscribing to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/subscribeand donating to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/donateMusic played in this episode was provided by the artists, via Australian Music Radio Airplay Project (https://amrap.org.au/):Merian - Like This Sky Loves Moon [https://amrap.org.au/track/merian-like-this-sky-loves-moon]Nasman Donovan - Ultraviolet (Feel It Again) [https://amrap.org.au/release/nasman-donovan-ultraviolet-feel-it-again] Emma Trenorden - Resurrection Fern & Radical RE [https://amrap.org.au/track/emma-trenorden-resurrection-fern & https://amrap.org.au/track/emma-trenorden-radical-re-1]

Text and Be HeardMatt bravely joins us on the 1% in Recovery podcast to share his raw and emotional journey as a parent confronted with his son's gambling addiction. What happens when the secretive nature of gambling begins to unravel the fabric of a family? Matt's story paints a vivid picture of the initial shock, grief, and overwhelming fear when confronting a problem they never imagined facing. As he and his wife grapple with the layers of financial and emotional complexity, their experiences shed light on the hidden battles many families endure, offering hope and insight for those in similar situations.Understanding addiction is a daunting task, especially when compounded by societal stigma and the manipulative nature of gambling advertising. Matt discusses the transformative power of support groups, emphasizing the sanctuary they provide for families to share and learn. These gatherings are likened to a lifeline, where families can engage in open communication and break free from isolation. The parallels drawn between gambling and substance addiction reveal a shared struggle, highlighting the importance of recognizing the traps set by gambling's enticing facade.As we journey through the process of recovery, the significance of family unity and finding support emerges as a beacon of hope. Matt recounts the healing power of a family vacation to Yellowstone, where nature's embrace fostered reconnection and strength. Despite the challenges of navigating the Gamblers Anonymous community, the perseverance through setbacks and the commitment to progress over perfection provide a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. By embracing support networks, families can not only find solace but also the opportunity to inspire and uplift others on their recovery path.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

In this episode, Niall explores the challenges of living with a gambling addict, asking, Can a gambler be trusted again? The conversation is inspired by an emotional email from a listener whose husband relapsed into gambling and lost their Christmas savings. With three young children and a history of broken promises, she wonders whether to give him another chance or end the marriage for the sake of her family.Some callers argue that gambling destroys families and that this listener has already gone above and beyond by giving her husband multiple chances. They believe the trust is irreparably broken and that she should focus on protecting her children and her own well-being rather than trying to save someone who isn't willing to change.Other callers emphasize that addiction is a disease and that her husband needs professional help, not abandonment. They suggest that if he's genuinely willing to seek counseling or attend Gamblers Anonymous, she should consider working with him to rebuild trust for the sake of their family.Niall wraps up by reflecting on the complexities of addiction, trust, and forgiveness, acknowledging the difficult choices faced by families in such situations.

This is a replay of an early interview recorded remotely in the Covid-19 era in April 2020, as we struggled with new technology to keep the show on-air.Drew started gambling in his mid-teens, starting out with a small bet on a horse, graduated to other sporting events and eventually it snowballed into gambling on virtually anything. He started gambling to fill a void in his life and it seeped into every aspect of his life and he was unable to separate gambling from his work, family and social activities. Drew started looking for help when he got found out by his mum and she recommended that he seek treatment. He found help and understanding in Gamblers Anonymous but recovery didn't come easily. He has been in and out of GA a few times and now realizes that he can't do it alone without the help of his GA friends.If you're having trouble with gambling, or has a friend or family member that does, then maybe Gamblers Anonymous could help – phone (03) 9696 6108 or visit their website gaaustralia.org.au for information and to see a list of local meetings.You can show your support to the Living Free show and keep us on air by:subscribing to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/subscribeand/or donating to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/donateMusic played in this episode was provided by the artists, via Australian Music Radio Airplay Project (https://amrap.org.au/).

Are you looking to deepen your understanding of the AA 12-Step Program and peer support in addiction recovery? You've found the perfect video! In this engaging chat, I sit down with Jesse Ball to uncover the transformative power of peer support and the truths behind the AA 12-Step Program.We dive right in by explaining the fundamental structure of Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-Step groups like Narcotics Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, and so on, breaking down the processes that make these meetings so effective. Our conversation tackles common objections, debunking the myth that the 12-Step Program is a cult and addressing concerns around spirituality and belief systems.As a bonus, Jesse shares his own journey from addiction to becoming a recovery support worker, highlighting the significance of having a sponsor to guide you through the 12 steps. Whether you're skeptical about needing a sponsor or simply curious about how to choose one, this video answers all your questions.So, if you're in recovery, considering joining a peer support group, or just eager to learn more about the AA 12-Step Program, hit play and join us on this enlightening journey!Bullet PointsPeer support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and their variants are essential for recovery, offering a structured twelve-step program based on spiritual principles.The twelve-step philosophy holds that human willpower alone cannot overcome addiction, emphasizing a spiritual approach to recovery.Common criticisms of the twelve-step program include perceptions of it being a cult; however, the program is decentralised and members can leave freely at any time.Sponsors within these programs guide newcomers through the twelve steps, and selecting a sponsor involves finding someone you understand and can connect with, often recommended to have at least one year of sobriety.The actual work and transformation in the twelve-step program happen largely outside meetings, through the guidance of sponsors who help members adopt new ways of thinking.

Karl spent his childhood looking forward to growing up so that he could enjoy the social life his parents enjoyed with lots of drinking and gambling. Neither Karl nor his parents considered drinking and gambling to be dangerous, but for Karl, who won a substantial amount of money at his first poker game as a young teenager, gambling, drinking and drug use soon became problematic. He entered re-hab, mainly for his substance abuse, and found it helpful, but it was only after his gambling robbed him of hope and he entered a re-hab program where problem gambling was addressed, that he found the lasting help of GA. Now clean, sober and free of the compulsion to gamble, Karl is making amends for the past and helping people still struggling with their addictions. The Living Free show may involve discussion of topics such as suicide, mental illness, self-harm and family violence.

Robert shares his story of developing a gambling habit through underage gambling on poker machines with sports club teammates between training sessions. A country kid with a happy homelife growing up and a talent for sports, he had no family background in gambling or other addictions.  Gambling consolidated in his late teens and by his early twenties Robert realized that he had a gambling problem, expanding to horses as well and finding it harder to hide so he began isolating while gambling.Robert sought help from Gamblers Anonymous early on but was only there for others, not himself. He eventually got serious with GA but found it difficult initially to stay stopped. Robert had a long period of abstinence from gambling but drifted away from GA and spent some years gambling before it became untenable again.  Back to GA with enthusiasm and now he has had over 280 days without gambling.If you're having trouble with gambling, or have a friend or family member that does, then maybe Gamblers Anonymous could help – phone (03) 9696 6108 or visit their website gaaustralia.org.au for information and to see a list of local meetings.If you are a partner, family member or friend of someone with a gambling problem you may find the help you need with a GAM-ANON group.
