March Madness isn't just a frenzy of basketball—it's a peak season for betting, and for some, a tipping point into gambling addiction. My own journey into the dark side of March came to a head in 1999, when the thrill of the Sweet 16 morphed into a desperate recognition that I needed help. In this candid episode, I peel back the veneer of the gambling industry to expose its aggressive tactics, like in-game betting, which traps players in a fast-paced cycle of addiction. With politicians often misjudging the true economic impact of gambling, communities pay the price. But there's a beacon of hope: the Recovery Growth Scorecard, a strategy that I've personally developed to leverage natural hormones and positive activities, guiding those in recovery towards forming healthier habits. As we continue, we confront the harrowing realities of compulsive gambling, from the insidious web of lies to the hard truth that sheer willpower often falls short in conquering this addiction. Reflecting on the wisdom of Bill Wilson, famed for his work in the Big Book and the 12 and 12, it's clear that so-called "responsible gambling" is a misnomer for those of us ensnared by this vice. Abstinence emerges as the solitary, surefire antidote. As you listen, you'll not only receive an Easter message of renewal but also a simple, unequivocal truth to carry in your pocket: if you don't gamble, you can't lose.
