Oklahoma was the last place I ever gambled in a casino. WinStar. January 31st, 2022. This is my first time back.
We cover a lot of ground this week — bad flights, great food, a statewide conference on problem gambling, and a number that stopped me in my tracks: 143 casinos in a state of 4 million people. What does that landscape mean for people trying to get out? And is it ever a valid excuse?
We also celebrate Christina Cook — the person who changed the trajectory of my life — as she marks five years away from a bet.
If you’re struggling right now, you’re not alone.
