Gambling's Grip: Adam's Journey Through Addiction

I think the core of addiction is the feelings associated with the different activities we choose to abuse, we choose to obsess about and be compulsive about that exhilaration, that thrill of the chase.
Imagine feeling an irresistible pull towards the slot machines or the poker table, unable to stop even when you know it's hurting you. That's exactly what Adam Manovek faced, and he opens up about it in this episode of 'Sympathy for the Devil'. Hosted by James Marshall, this conversation dives deep into the rollercoaster world of gambling addiction. Adam lays bare his experiences, sharing the intoxicating highs of winning and the devastating lows that follow.
He doesn't shy away from discussing how this addiction strained his relationships and took a toll on his mental health. But it's not all doom and gloom; Adam's story also shines a light on the path to recovery. He talks about the crucial moment he realized he needed help and the steps he took to reclaim his life.
James and Adam's candid discussion is both eye-opening and relatable, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of the emotional drivers behind gambling addiction and the importance of seeking help.
