The Comeback with Craig Carton S1 E2: "I Was Blessed With The Strength To Seek Help"

In Episode 2 of The Comeback, Craig Carton talks with Scott who is nine months out from his last bet. A career day trader and avid golfer, Scott’s gambling did not become a problem until 6 years ago.

Scott opens up about his struggles with gambling, describing how we would get caught in a cycle of delusional thinking and constantly rationalizing the next wager. He also shares his troubled history with alcohol, and the experiences and mindsets that have helped him in his recovery journey.

They talk about:

• The Importance of Community: Connecting with supportive people— whether family, friends, or others facing similar struggles—can be a game-changer in navigating the challenges of problem gambling.
• Define a Mission Statement: Scott shares the positive impact of having a set of guiding beliefs to constantly think about and remind oneself when experiencing urges or struggling with sobriety.
• Take the First Step: Finding the courage to accept and face these challenges can be the beginning of greater control, clarity, and personal freedom.
