Nothing’s Off the Table with Louis RuggieroShow Notes
Louis Ruggiero welcomes Daniel Bullen for an unfiltered conversation about gambling addiction, compulsive gambling, and what it actually takes to rebuild your life after years of chasing the next win.
Daniel explains how gambling entered his life as early as 8 or 9 years old and gradually became an obsession fueled by early wins, the belief that gambling could make him rich, and the constant need to chase losses.
The conversation also explores gambling relapse, rehab, therapy, recovery meetings, rebuilding trust with family, paying back debt, and learning why one big win could never solve the underlying problem.
