Quitting gambling is hard. Finding people who understand shouldn’t be.

In this episode of The Last Bet, host Ryan Stewart shares his experience searching for gambling addiction support after placing his last bet on May 20, 2023. Gamblers Anonymous phone meetings offered an initial connection, but Ryan wanted to see the people he was talking to and build relationships with others who understood.

That search led him to create Betting on Recovery, a weekly online gambling recovery support meeting.

Ryan opens up about the work that continues after the betting stops: facing financial consequences, rebuilding trust, managing stress, and working through guilt and shame. He also discusses why having different support options matters, whether that means phone meetings, in-person groups, online communities, or counseling.

If you’ve stopped gambling but still feel overwhelmed, or you’re ready to ask for help and don’t know where to start, this conversation is for you.

Join Betting on Recovery every Wednesday at 8 p.m. Eastern for a 30-minute online meeting. You don’t have to have everything figured out or share your entire story. Just show up. Find meeting details at SAFPODCAST.COM.
