Addiction, Desperation & Redemption: Fighting back w/ Louis Reggiero

Описание: Louis Reggiero — founder of Nothing’s Off the Table, a podcast about overcoming addiction — lost over $100,000 in a single night in Vegas. But that wasn’t the rock bottom. It took him 10 years to get 1 year of sobriety.

In this episode, LJ shares how addiction nearly destroyed his life — and how fatherhood, faith, and the gift of desperation helped him start healing. We also talked about:
— Gambling as emotional escape
— Why honesty was the turning point in his recovery
— How to rebuild trust in relationships damaged by addiction
— The impact of having a child while in recovery
— Unconditional love, relapse cycles, and second chances
— Why society is addicted to gambling — and not talking about it

If you’re six feet above ground, you still have a shot. This episode proves it.
