In this video, I interview Zack S about his struggles with gambling addiction. He is just recently trying to leave gambling in the past, and I hope this conversation was able to help him do that.

This conversation was one that I really needed to have. Very often on this channel, we speak with people who have many months or years since the date of their last bet. In this case, it was just a few days, and in this video we dove into strategies to begin the journey of recovery and pursuing a life without the harms of gambling and gambling addiction. I want to thank Zack for being brave enough to share his gambling story, and I truly hope that this conversation was a positive part of his journey to recovery.
