Happy Thanksgiving! In this holiday episode, Eric gives Thanks to many different parts of his Recovery journey. He talks about the podcast overall and its future, the worst and best day of his life (his rock bottom), and how that brought him into Recovery. He discusses how Gamblers Anonymous has created the possibilities for his life transformation, and how Edgardo and other people effected by gambling addiction, who go down their own path of Recovery, has given him so much strength and hope for the present and future.

Eric welcomes Zach into the Lounge. They share a great friendship and brotherhood and in this riveting interview, Zach shares his story of life and how a gambling addiction nearly destroyed everything. He provides raw and difficult truths about how gambling took him from a pretty normal and promising future in his 20s to near ruin in all phases of his life. Ultimately, Zach found Recovery at the age of 28 and has now turned his life completely around in a span of 3 Years. Zach and Eric also revisit the story of how they met and where that took them together in the Recovery space. Enjoy this very inspiring story!

THANKS to Edgardo for producing this episode!

Eric is joined in the Lounge by his friend and brother in recovery, Guy. They talk about Guy's life story, leading to a gambling addiction journey that resulted in a significant rock bottom experience that frightened even Guy himself. All of it has resulted in what is now a 15+ year inspirational journey in a 12-step recovery program that Guy credits for having saved and enriched his life to massive proportions. Eric also talks about what Guy has meant to his own recovery process, including a story about a Fellowship event at the LA Zoo in the first few months of his recovery journey.
