For most of my life I never stuck with anything. Jobs. Relationships. Addresses. And now, thanks to recovery, I actually stick with things. And I'm not doing it alone. We've built a community. A team. People that show up for each other.

This week we celebrated one year of the Modern Meeting Meeting. I get into how it started, how it almost didn't make it, and what this past Monday night meant to me. And speaking of meetings, there's a new one coming starting Saturday July 11: Not Your First Meeting Meeting.

A delayed flight, a karaoke bar in Missouri, and a $248 decision I knew I shouldn't make. What happened next at the gate was the closest I've come to that old feeling in over four years. From there I talk about five hard truths about gambling addiction and recovery. The ones people don't want to hear, the ones I keep repeating because they keep being true, and the one I save for last because almost nobody believes it until it's too late.

Carmela aka Carmey B — grew up in Omaha's Little Italy, in a loud, proud Italian American family whose whole world revolved around gambling. Her father owned an Italian steakhouse, hosted Sunday card games, and had a past colorful enough that two men with briefcases once showed up looking for him. He was her North Star. He was also a gambler. And for a long time, she didn't believe gambling would be the thing that got her.

In this episode, she takes us from that first slot machine to the seventeen years that followed, and the night she finally decided enough was enough. Now 108 days since her last bet and a regular at The Modern Meeting Meeting, she's telling her story remarkably early, and she's not holding back.
