Keep telling yourself, “This is my last bet,” only to gamble again? If you want to stop gambling but don’t know where to start, this episode of The Last Bet walks through practical steps for your first 30 days without betting.

Ryan Stewart shares what helped him after quitting gambling and alcohol on May 20, 2023: getting honest with his wife, Jess, admitting the seriousness of his gambling problem, attending meetings, and reconnecting with family and friends. He also reveals what he wishes he had done sooner.

Whether you’re struggling with casino games, slot machines, sports betting, online gambling, or prediction markets, this conversation explores how to:

• Make gambling harder to access through self-exclusion, account closures, and blocking tools.
• Respond to gambling urges and triggers with a practical plan.
• Protect essential expenses and stop chasing losses.
• Find recovery meetings and professional support.
• Begin rebuilding trust through consistent actions.
• Respond to a return to gambling and strengthen your recovery plan.

You don’t have to repair your entire life today. Start with one honest conversation and one step toward getting help.
