In Experience #21, Jason joins Eric in the Lounge. This is an intimate discussion between brothers and best friends, from Maine to California. Jason shares his deeply personal story of Gambling addiction, from early childhood with his dad and brother, into a dark isolation into adulthood. Jason was a sports gambler for over 20 years, and everything was crashing down around him, including his relationship with the most important person in his life, his wife. He describes his journey of addiction in pain staking detail, including how he and his younger brother were torn apart by suffering from their own gambling addictions until his brother's tragic death nearly a decade ago. Jason is the epitome example of the compulsive gambler, who has made horrific mistakes along his journey, and has come through it all with extraordinary bravery and most importantly, is helping thousands of people in his journey of Recovery, Jason and Eric reminisce on how they met in the rooms of Gamblers Anonymous on Eric's day 1 and Jason early in his journey, and they tell the ongoing tale of two guys who were nearly killed by their gambling addictions, now totally thriving in Recovery, committing their lives to bettering themselves and countless others whom they love. This is a story of redemption from near catastrophe to endless amounts of Hope and Happiness.
