Eric welcomes into the Lounge, his friend and brother in Recovery, Stephen. They have a great discussion about Stephen's journey through life, ultimately leading to a gambling addiction that impacted all aspects of his life. Stephen articulates the details of what led to his rock bottom and his contemplation of committing suicide, until a phone call to 1-800-GAMBLER changed everything. Stephen describes the 8+ years of his Recovery journey, including an honest assessment of the first several years, where he felt he wasn't working towards an ultimate path of Recovery. They further discuss what has changed in the past 2+ years, where Stephen has committed much more of himself to the Recovery process and his life has gotten significantly better as a result, along with his wonderful advice to anyone on day 1 of dealing with this addiction.
