“I Gambled Until I Lost My Mind” | The SHOCKING Truth About Gambling Addiction

Jordan Freeman opens up like never before in this brutally honest conversation about addiction, gambling, Xanax abuse, alcohol, recovery, rehab, relapse, and rebuilding his life from rock bottom.

In this episode of Nothing’s Off the Table, Jordan reveals the shocking truth behind his gambling addiction, hiding substance abuse from his family, getting high while shopping for rehab clothes with his dad, and the mental destruction that came with compulsive gambling and Xanax addiction.

This is one of the most raw and emotional addiction recovery stories we’ve ever shared.

We talk about: * Gambling addiction and sports betting * Xanax and alcohol abuse * Rock bottom moments * Recovery and sobriety * Rehab and treatment * Mental health and addiction * College addiction culture * Recovery after relapse * Compulsive gambling and debt * Building a new life in sobriety

Jordan is now helping others recover from gambling addiction while pursuing his master’s degree at NYU and working directly with clients struggling with addiction and recovery.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, gambling, alcohol, drugs, or mental health — this episode could change your life.
