Hello Again! In this episode I detail some ideas I have had, heard from others, and what my wife and I did early on handling our finances, access to money and retraining my relationship with money while rebuilding financial trust (slooooooowly!) I detail what other people have done, what worked for us and steps to go about taking while early on in recovery to stop then bleeding and how to slowly work your way back into responsibly handling money.

Welcome back....Again!! Sorry for the long absence again, but I'm back with an episode on how I deal with the financial curveballs thrown at me in life. These financial difficulties are issues in the past that would absolutely triggered me into gambling again or even more. I talk about how myself and my wife are able to work through the types of things together now. COMMUNICATION!
Enjoy!

This is an episode I have looked forward to having for a long time and it could not have been a better discussion. Brian comes on to tell his story of gambling, how and why he stopped, but also talks about a recent lapse in recovery where he began buying baseball cards problematically. Brian could not have been any more open and raw about what happened and we have a great talk about these topics and more including our upcoming attendance at the NYCPGs annual conference March 8th and 9th! Come down and say hi to us! Enjoy the episode!

In this short episode I try to compare gambling addiction to something many people can understand. Addiction to sugar and poor food choices and how I think they compare. Hopefully this can help someone who's never had a gambling addiction understand a little better why people who have had or have a gambling addiction will make a poor choice in continuing a behavior we know isn't good for us.
