Brian Ward | IGRS, BARA - NCPG Board Member

Brian Ward turned himself in to the police in 2017. What followed was weeks of waiting, panic attacks, houselessness, and the end of his engagement. What came after that was nine years of peer support work, SMART Recovery facilitation, a seat on the NCPG board, and one of the most articulate voices in the gambling harm space. In this episode of Evive Live, Adam and Christina sit down with Brian to talk about how he got there — and what he actually believes about recovery, the industry, and what it means to show up for people who are struggling. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS🟢 Evive — Digital support for gambling behavior change🌐 https://www.getevive.com/📱 Download the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/evive-gambling-support/id6450926060🟣 The Broke Girl Society with Christina Cook — Community and recovery support for women🌐 https://thebrokegirlsociety.com/ 🎙️Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-broke-girl-society-podcast/id1575593868🎙️Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/74DP23EzfR6WPpPMLYq45x📺 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@thebrokegirlsociety🎧 The Modern Meeting Podcast with Adam Lyons — Gambling recovery, real talk🌐 https://themodernmeeting.com/ 🎙️ Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-modern-meeting/id1779060982🎙️ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1jMSSKkadnvzbvZl33dzZc📺 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@ModernMeeting━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔔 Subscribe to Evive Live for new episodes featuring the clinicians, researchers, advocates, and people in recovery who are changing how we think about gambling harm.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Evive Live is produced by Evive, a digital health platform dedicated to gambling behavior change.
