    Gambling Addict Says Quitting Completely Is Too Extreme

    15/10/2026 | 41 mins.
    Louis Ruggiero welcomes Moshe Haimoff back to the podcast for an unfiltered conversation about gambling addiction, compulsive gambling, relapse, recovery, self-control, and what happens after gambling nearly destroys your life.

    This is a raw debate between 2 people who have experienced the consequences of gambling addiction firsthand, rebuilt their lives, and still disagree on what long-term gambling addiction recovery should actually look like.

    🔔 Real stories. Raw comebacks. Nothing's off the table.

    Unfiltered conversations with people who've faced addiction, loss, and rock bottom — and came back stronger.

    —
    This episode is sponsored by Algamus Recovery Center.

    If gambling is running your life — the lying, the chasing, the debt — you don't have to figure it out alone. Algamus is one of the only residential treatment centers in the country built specifically for gambling addiction. Certified gambling counselors, many in recovery themselves, treating this disease for 30+ years. Most commercial insurance accepted.
