#21 Gambling Addiction in Plain Sight: What Recovery Can Look Like in Seven Months. The Story of Mason B.

Today’s episode is an honest look at gambling addiction and recovery. Mason B. shares how gambling quietly took over his time, his work, his relationships, and his mental health, all while appearing functional on the outside. He opens up about secrecy, shame, bipolar disorder, and the constant pull to escape, numb, and chase more. I wanted to share Mason’s story to show what recovery can look like in under a year just seven months, when someone commits fully, gets honest, and asks for help.
