Eric is joined in the co-host seat by Edgardo, as they welcome Gina into the Lounge. This is an extraordinary story of someone who suffered for years, as the spouse of a problem gambler. Gina describes the history of meeting and marrying her husband, and after years of him demonstrating problematic signs of being a compulsive gambler, things came crashing down. Gina brings forth incredible amounts of vulnerability and truth that is so brave and serves a cautionary tale for how gambling can destroy the lives of the compulsive gambler and the loved ones in their life. There is a beautiful silver lining in all of it, as Gina describes how hitting her own rock bottom led her into Recovery for herself, via the 12-step Gam-anon Program and how her life has now been completed transformed for the better.
