Ep. 86 - The Manic Episode: Todd F on Bipolar Disorder and Gambling
Adam makes it to Texas. Todd F is approaching two years in recovery from compulsive gambling, but his journey to get here wasn't linear. In this raw and honest conversation, Todd opens up about the intersection of bipolar disorder and gambling addiction—how manic episodes fueled his gambling, how two relapses tested his resolve, and how gambling ultimately cost him his marriage. Todd talks about what it's like to battle low self-worth even in recovery, why he leans on his GA family to get through the hard days, and how he's finally found peace—and love—on the other side.
If you’re struggling right now, you’re not alone.
