Podcasts about gambling addiction

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Kiki Marriott is one of the thousands of people in the UK whose life has spiralled out of control because of gambling addiction. However, research has shown that while people from ethnic minorities like Kiki are actually less likely to gamble than their white counterparts – they are more likely to suffer harm from gambling and less likely to seek help. Why is this? And what can be done to help those most in need feel more comfortable with getting support? Niall is joined by Kiki and Sky News correspondent Emma Birchley.

The rise of sports betting has made it easier to gamble using the phone in your pocket. That's true even in states like Minnesota, where sports betting is illegal. The situation has some researchers and advocates concerned that more young adults could fall into gambling addiction or debt.  Those concerns are the topic of a conference in the Twin Cities this Friday, hosted by the Minnesota Alliance on Problem Gambling. Susan Sheridan Tucker is the group's executive director and Michelle Malkin is an assistant professor from East Carolina University who created tools to help students and counselors recognize when gambling becomes too risky. They joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share more about the impact of sports betting in Minnesota.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat. Today's episode dives deep into a topic that's been quietly reshaping lives and families across the globe: gambling addiction. Host Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Daniela Lobo, a leading expert in addiction psychiatry, to explore just how dramatically gambling—especially online and sports betting—has surged in prevalence, fueled by intensive marketing and made even more accessible by the pandemic's isolation.Together, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Lobo break down the reality behind those flashy ads and glossy casino images, peeling back the curtain on the true costs of problem gambling. They explore not just the personal financial and mental fallout, but the ripple effects that devastate families, drive up debt, worsen mental health struggles, and even intersect with substance use disorders. As gambling apps, sports betting, and even crypto-trading continue to blur the lines between entertainment and addiction, the doctors unpack why so many young adults—and increasingly, teens—find themselves hooked.Dr. Lobo shares practical insights for recognizing gambling problems, supporting loved ones, and opening honest conversations with kids. Most importantly, they question whether the billions gained in gambling revenue are truly worth the social and health costs we're only beginning to acknowledge.If you've ever wondered what really drives gambling addiction, how to spot it, or what responsible action looks like for individuals and society, you won't want to miss this eye-opening, evidence-based conversation.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of gambling addiction, abuse, cancer, and suicidal thoughts, which may be distressing for some listeners. Please take care while listening and step away if you need to.In this deeply personal episode of The Broke Girl Society Podcast, host Christina Cook opens the first chapter of a new series titled "A Letter to My Gambling Addiction."Through raw and honest storytelling, Christina reads a letter she has written to the addiction that once held her in its grip. She traces the journey from its initial allure to the devastating ways it became entwined with her life. She reflects on how gambling became both an escape and a prison, how it masked pain from past abuse, and how it numbed her through the fear and grief of facing cancer.This is more than a story about struggle. It is about reclaiming a life once thought lost. Christina shares the truth of survival, the courage it took to step into recovery, and the role of community in helping her discover a life she no longer wants to escape from.If you have ever felt alone in the throes of gambling harm, this episode is for you. You are not alone. You are not beyond help.

Send us a textStep into the shocking and brilliant world of Nikola Tesla in this deep-dive episode of The Days Grimm! Join hosts Brian Day and Thomas Grimm as they uncover the electrifying life of the man who arguably invented the modern world, from his fierce rivalry with Thomas Edison to the wild conspiracy theories that surround his work today.We explore Tesla's incredible mind, capable of visualizing complex inventions and running simulations entirely in his head. Discover the truth behind the "War of the Currents," where Tesla's Alternating Current (AC) battled Edison's Direct Current (DC) , a conflict that led Edison to publicly electrocute animals, including an elephant named Topsy, to "prove" AC was dangerous.Was Tesla's genius too much for the world? We discuss his partnership with J.P. Morgan , the ambitious Wardenclyffe Tower meant to provide free wireless energy to the world , and why it was ultimately abandoned. Plus, we delve into his other groundbreaking inventions, including the Tesla Coil, remote controls , and his successful attempt to wirelessly light 200 light bulbs from 25 miles away.Finally, we unpack the bizarre and fascinating aspects of Tesla's later life, from his peculiar romantic relationship with a pigeon to the persistent conspiracy theories involving a "death ray" and how his papers allegedly ended up in the hands of John G. Trump, Donald Trump's ancestor.What do you think is Tesla's most underrated invention?

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----

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of suicide, grief, addiction, mental health challenges, and other sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.He didn't think he'd make it to 26. By then, Patrick Casale had already lost his stepmother to cancer, his best friend to suicide and himself to gambling addiction, shame, and emotional paralysis. But rock bottom didn't end his story, it unraveled the one he'd been trying to survive: the story where masking pain and pretending to be “fine” was the only way to belong.In this unflinching episode, Patrick shares the moments that nearly ended him and the ones that slowly rebuilt him. From devastating loss to the weight of silence, we explore how grief, addiction, and years of emotional shutdown intersected with a late-in-life AuDHD (Autism + ADHD) diagnosis that finally explained what nothing else could.For the first time, he began to see his struggles not as personal failures, but misunderstood wiring in a world that never made room for difference. This isn't just a recovery story it's a blueprint for self-acceptance, for healing without shame, and for creating a life that doesn't require an escape plan.In This Episode We Cover:Grief, trauma & emotional collapse after losing his stepmom and best friendGambling addiction and the illusion of controlLiving undiagnosed: the cost of masking with late-in-life AuDHDReframing “brokenness” as misunderstood neurodivergenceHow therapy, community, and radical honesty saved his life__________________Watch/Listen/Subscribe to the Show: ↳ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠__________________Patrick Custer - Host↳ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠⁠⁠↳ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @thepatrickcuster⁠⁠⁠↳ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠⁠⁠↳ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠⁠⁠↳ Website: ⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/patrickcuster⁠⁠⁠Patrick Casale - Guest↳ Insta: @patrick.casale↳ Facebook: @CasaleCoaching↳ Tiktok:⁠ @patrickcasale↳ Website: www.allthingspractice.com__________________Promises Behavioral Health – Treatment for addiction, mental health/trauma:↳ Admissions: (888) 648-4098↳ Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@promises_bh⁠⁠⁠↳ URL: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.promisesbehavioralhealth.com⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Mental Health America:↳ URL: ⁠⁠⁠www.mhanational.org⁠__________________About Patrick Casale: Patrick Casale is not only an AuDHD licensed Mental Health & Addiction Therapist and a group practice owner but also a Entrepreneur Coach & Strategist for Neurodivergent Business Owners. With experience in both the clinical mental health world and the business world, he has helped thousands of mental health therapists around the United States leave their agencies behind and create their ideal private practices. "I've worked in the helping profession since 2008, and, like many therapists, I started my career in a community mental health job where instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt overworked, burnt out, taken for granted, and underappreciated. I knew I wanted out but feared the uncertainty of private practice, because, at the time, I had no fucking clue how to start a business. After all, most people who go into the helping profession don't have a lot of business training, if any at all. After a lot of work, some struggles, and trial-and-error, I successfully launched my private practice. Then a couple of years after that, I launched a thriving group practice. I am truly passionate about empowering therapists to take the steps they need to create more successful lives and careers while working flexible hours, taking more vacations, and using their precious clinical skills effectively. When it comes to being a successful private practice and small business owner, I've already been there and done that, so now I help other therapists all over the United States save time, skip the guesswork, and start seeing clients sooner with their own private practices."

Mark Lucia, Director of Programming at the KindBridge Research Institute, brings his exceptional experience from being a special forces medic to mastering public health and behavioral health program design. Join us as we uncover the systemic barriers that hinder service members and veterans from accessing help for gambling addiction, a problem exacerbated by deeply ingrained institutional stigma. Mark's relentless efforts to reshape policies and heighten awareness, evidenced by groundbreaking state-level campaigns in Colorado, are crucial steps towards fostering hope and healing within military communities. Gambling is not just a pastime; within military settings, it reveals its darker side, with slot machines on overseas bases raising concerns about institutionalized gambling. The stigma surrounding mental health care in the military often prevents service members from seeking necessary support, driven by fears of negative career repercussions. This episode sheds light on the surprising prevalence of gambling addiction among veterans, encouraging a dialogue about classifying it as a health issue and finding the appropriate interventions. In this episode, you will hear: Exploring the hidden epidemic of gambling addiction within military communities Insights from Mark Lucia on systemic barriers and stigma preventing service members from seeking help Examination of gambling facilities on overseas military bases and their impact on mental health Discussion on reclassifying gambling addiction as a health issue and necessary interventions Challenges faced by the Department of Defense in recognizing and addressing gambling disorders Highlighting successful awareness campaigns and policy changes led by Mark Lucia Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.
