Oklahoma Changed Everything | Adam Lyons
<p>Gambling got its hooks into Adam Lyons early. At nine years old, his uncle taught him how to play craps, and something clicked that never really switched off. By the time the poker boom hit, Adam had dropped out of college and was dealing cards in poker rooms from Connecticut to Las Vegas. He was good at the job, great with people, and one of the most charismatic guys in the room. What nobody knew was that the same man running the game was quietly losing everything on the other side of the table.</p> <p>Adam placed his last bet in 2022, and today he hosts the Modern Meeting podcast and talks to other people with gambling disorder about their journeys out of the depths of addiction.</p> <p>Listen in on a fascinating conversation as Adam shares his story.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ModernMeeting">The Modern Meeting Podcast on YouTube</a></p> <p>Connect with Adam at The Modern Meeting on <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/1jMSSKkadnvzbvZl33dzZc">Spotify</a>, <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-modern-meeting/id1779060982"> Apple Podcasts</a>, and <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/modernmeeting/">Instagram</a></p> <p class="s10"><span class="s6">Engage with Wager Danger: </span></p> <p class="s10"><a href= "mailto:wagerdanger@gatewayfoundation.org"><span class= "s11">wagerdanger@gatewayfoundation.org</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.gatewayfoundation.org/mental-health/process-addictions/gambling-addiction/"> <span class="s11">Gateway Foundation Gambling Treatment</span></a></p> <p class="s10"><span class="s6">Call Gateway Foundation:</span><span class= "apple-converted-space"> </span><span class= "s6">844-975-3663</span></p> <p class="s10"><span class="s6">Follow Gateway Foundation:</span></p> <p class="s10"><span class="s6">Facebook: @RecoverGateway</span></p> <p class="s10"><span class="s6">LinkedIn: @Gateway-Foundation</span></p> <p class="s10"><span class="s6">Gambling Problem?
