<p>In this powerful episode, Eric welcomes into the Lounge, one of his A-List mentors in his Recovery journey- Frank S. With multiple decades of experience in the Gamblers Anonymous program, Frank talks eloquently and with raw honesty, about his journey, including going to his first GA meeting at the young age of 19. Frank's path included many family members who were also compulsive gamblers, and we visit about what that life experience was like. </p><p>Frank shares his deep experiences, including the need to escape his life problems from a young age and that would lead to a long and devastating battle with a gambling addiction. His very successful career in banking was a part of that journey, which ultimately led to multiple arrests, probation, and time in prison.</p><p>Frank and Eric also talk about their spiritual connection on multiple fronts, including a very important date on the calendar in both of their lives, January 11th. </p><p>All of this led to COVID in 2020, which would bring about an extraordinary invention that Frank was a primary creator and collaborator of; the website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://gamblersinrecovery.com">gamblersinrecovery.com</a>. This website is a premier reference for Gambling Recovery meetings on the zoom platform, from all around the world, with hundreds of meeting listings, at all hours of the morning, day, and night.
