If you’re looking for steps on how to stop gambling, here’s exactly what I did to quit personally: ruclips.net/video/TsBlTp2wb7I/видео.htmlsi=X2GQKYFs5Zj7SgOn
100% and a great storyteller as well. I wasn't planning on posting this whole interview but when we did it I was just hooked and knew I needed to share it
I am stationed at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. There are 2 casinos on this Base and another 3 on other bases close by within a 20 minute drive. I have gambled alot but thankfully quit on my own because I simply HATE losing money. I have seen others, active duty and retired, waste away their savings at these casinos over the Last 7 years. There are signs on the doors that give resources for gambling addiction, but they are only there because it's a requirement. These casino's don't care about you and will steal your joy. Everytime I pass those casinos, I get a sick feeling in my stomach and all I want to do is go in there to tell others to stop. I like your content! Thanks for creating this channel.
Thanks for this! The on-post/base facilities are run by MWR and make a lot of money off of service members and their families. The problem is that none of it is used for education, screening, or treatment of this addiction.
Can you tell me how there are casino games on what is pretty much territory the US controls? I'm guessing the businesses are owned by locals on the base but what if the US government didn't want them on their bases? Could Germany say hey we're a sovereign country and can do whatever we want on our land. Or are the casinos in cahoots with the bases? Just seems off they'd put such a vice on a military base full of young men with not much to do.
full credit to Dave for his excellent description of his struggle. I hope he stays free of the urge. One question I would have liked to ask him is - did he have a good and happy childhood? There quite often seems to be a correlation between an unhappy childhood or a childhood trauma and subsequent addiction.
Hi Rob, thanks for doing this. I lost a really good friend to suicide directly related to gambling, I realize how serious it is. I was not expecting the interview to be this good. He touched on the many points that all addicts experience. Brilliant job and commentary also thanks for doing this work
I had an liberal arts instructor at my college. He told a story about his Navy days. He lost two months worth of pay in a poker game. After that, he never gambled again. He said people learn in two ways, either from pain, or from learning from observation. Most of us learn from pain. That’s just human nature.
I was stationed in Darmstadt Germany from 1989-1992 and they had slot machines in the bowling alley. I used to play them all the time, thankfully I didn't get addicted at the time. Unfortunately, in the past seven years, I've run up about $70k in credit card debt gambling. Thankfully it's just me, no wife, no kids, but my weakness of gambling has really set me back financially. Luckily I do pay my bills before I gamble, but it's gone from just spending my spending money to now, just paying minimums on credit card and using the rest on trying to win more money. I'm so disappointed in myself.
Dave wanted me to pass along this message: Believe me when I say I understand where you are. There is help, if you want help. I can be reached at fallinpodcast@gmail.com or you can check out my website, daveyeager-fallin.com You are not alone!
Why didn't you just play the pinball machines at the bowling alley instead? That's what I did and went on to win 6 world pinball championships. I also bowled professionally.
They never gamble on something you can earn a living at. I bet the fights and bet horseraces from age 16 to about age 60 and then packed it in and said I'm retired. I quit smoking at age 47 as I smoked about 2 packs a day mainly when I played pinball machines.
So many people assume if it isn’t a drug addiction it can’t be that serious. Porn and gambling addiction are very serious in addition to many others that don’t require a drug.
I used to watch the strippers at the Orchard Park Tavern right across the street from Greenwood racetrack. I spent all my time betting the races and playing the pinball machines at the racetrack and across the street at the tavern. I was quite a good drinker to boot. I never lost a game of pool in all the decades at the Orchard park Tavern. We used to play 9 ball.
Please save my family they r old I always wanted to help them but now I ruined their life lost $12k in 7 days . No food to eat now .........I'm ashamed kill me lord
Sad mẹ same situation too many times, I got pay on Friday day Saturday I lost all, go to Cash loan , ask friend for help no money for gas for food,so terrible addiction, please go self excluded from all local casino then you will see the different, for sure you will find the happy back ,. God bless you and your family!
Ive gambled all my life (on and off) As well, ive had small addictions ( weed, nicotine etc) All of which I do on and off. Never has it got to the point where i need to go gambling or that ive ruined my rep or had huge problems because of gambling. Although in my early 20s id always be broke because id spend what little i had on gambling. Like $100-$200. There must be a spectrum of gambling addiction because i sometimes wonder if i have one but im nowhere near this guy and his story
Everything in life and human behaviour can be categorized on a sliding scale its not either you are are not... The difference is that if you cant set any bounderies at all you have no control of youre actions.. I play poker and definately play when i should not sometimes out of boredom or when im tired but i have fixed rules i never brake bank roll management is nr 1..i study the game make logical decision its not gamble in that sense but it triggers dopamine gives a rush But i can quit that brakes for weeks on my own and quit when i loose and start to play bad.. If you have an addiction you cant quit you brake every rules you set out because its an emotional respons of some sort you are getting....
Building net worth and learning to i invest wisely will make a person more mature and the maturity and understanding of finances will help degenerate gamblers learn to not gamble anymore. Understanding gambling is a dead end/ no win situation will come with time.
My mom has a gambling addiction. I don't see her getting well from it because she can't admit the problem is there. She couldn't pay bills, buy food or anything else for that matter.
Same like me gambling addiction is terrible, even I can’t pay the rent or buy the food too .😢😢😢 I just feel 2 weeks from gambling if I still gambling I will die on the street for sure, hope God help your Mom quit terrible addiction on the world!
my sister worked at ga she said 99% said they thought about suicide i dont mean anything wrong when i state you need balls has big has footballs to go through with it most gamblers say this after a big loss its mainly a cry for help if you listen to any podcast on line every gambling addict will say they they thought about it and some do dont get me wrong it is the worst addiction and what i have stated here is through my own experience i have said it many times after i lost everything
Very few people have the ability to be a winning gambler. It's very difficult..perhaps only 1 % can find an edge in sports / racing or poker for eg. The biggest problem for most people is bankroll management..discipline. People prone to develop serious gambling problems can't control themselves..any win will always be given back. I have a friend with a serious problem whom has done that many many times . Won big and given it all back within a few days.. Even in this story the man turned 200 into a few k and ledt the casino broke.
This is not a gambling problem this is more of a losing problem you kept losing you were not winning so you needed to make up a excuse for losing All you need to do it just get on a hot streak and you will Be fine
What the hell is this video? Did you just steal some guys story and put yourself on top of it? He is obviously just telling his story from start to finish, and you're just editing in non existence questions in between his story...
It seems like this guy did this interview in full and you edited in random ass questions to fit his storyline. Bet you didnt even talk to this guy lmao
I lived in Vegas for about a year, never gambled ! You’d be surprised how many people go straight to the casino every Friday night, lose every single penny within a few hours !! Some people have a gambling addiction. That is just as bad as crack addiction

Dave is the best! Such a great ambassador in the problem gambling recovery community.
100% and a great storyteller as well. I wasn't planning on posting this whole interview but when we did it I was just hooked and knew I needed to share it

Thank you for sharing your story and for being here. Glad you've gotten away from that life my friend
Can you tell me how there are casino games on what is pretty much territory the US controls?

Just seems off they'd put such a vice on a military base full of young men with not much to do.
Thanks for you and Dave for sharing your story. Makes me realize addiction can happen to anyone, even the soldiers and men I look up to.
Great video. Can you do more interviews like this. I like hearing other stories. Truly powerful.
Yes! I have a lot of them that I need to get edited
Tuned in to watch and the RUclips commercial before this video was for Draft Kings- OMG RUclips , what in the world ?!?
It's supposed to be blocked on my videos, but I'm sure they're categorizing it with some bullshit loophole ugh
@@OdaatGamblingAwarenessgreat video interview of recovery!
Ya mine was online casino🙄
Ridiculous- I hope RUclips stops those ads on channels like this one so it doesn’t trigger anyone
I also once downloaded a recovery tracker for gambling and the ads for it would all be gambling ads xD they are relentless
full credit to Dave for his excellent description of his struggle. I hope he stays free of the urge. One question I would have liked to ask him is - did he have a good and happy childhood? There quite often seems to be a correlation between an unhappy childhood or a childhood trauma and subsequent addiction.
Could make for a great follow up video! Thanks for the question
I did not have a happy childhood. Abusive stepfather. I agree. It’s a big contributing factor.
Thank you Rob for interviewing Dave. Your story is truly inspiring!!! 💜💜💜
Thank you! Dave did awesome in this, he has an amazing story
Thanks for sharing your story Dave!
Agreed, it was an awesome share, very thankful for him
@@OdaatGamblingAwareness🙏❤️
Awesome interview! Thank you for sharing Dave
freaking awesome interview
Thank you so much!
Hi Rob, thanks for doing this. I lost a really good friend to suicide directly related to gambling, I realize how serious it is.
I was not expecting the interview to be this good. He touched on the many points that all addicts experience. Brilliant job and commentary also thanks for doing this work
Of all the addictions, gambling addiction has the highest suicide attempts.
Great video thank you for everything you do.
This was an easy one, dave did an amazing job! Thanks for watching
Holy shit. Its wild how bad peoples gambling addictions are. I enjoy playing like once a year. Wild
What a storyteller
Good advice: "When it goes from I want to do this - it's fun! To... "I have to do this :(" Pay attention.! Thanks Dave for your story.
100% Dave was right on it here
Really great testimony. The insane paradox between a man of resolute honor and a manipulative, selfish creature is incredible. Really wish him well.
Thank you!!

wow, so few ppl understand how to help gamblers
100% true. Which is why the work Dave does now helping others and speaking around the country about his story is so valuable
facts
They never gamble on something you can earn a living at. I bet the fights and bet horseraces from age 16 to about age 60 and then packed it in and said I'm retired. I quit smoking at age 47 as I smoked about 2 packs a day mainly when I played pinball machines.
So many people assume if it isn’t a drug addiction it can’t be that serious. Porn and gambling addiction are very serious in addition to many others that don’t require a drug.
Incredibly serious, but rarely discussed
💯 and I feel people have less empathy towards compulsive gamblers then say, someone battling a substance abuse addiction.
I used to watch the strippers at the Orchard Park Tavern right across the street from Greenwood racetrack. I spent all my time betting the races and playing the pinball machines at the racetrack and across the street at the tavern. I was quite a good drinker to boot. I never lost a game of pool in all the decades at the Orchard park Tavern. We used to play 9 ball.
Thank you both for sharing. Life changing. God bless any of us on this comment section that is suffering with addiction of any kind🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you my friend

It can always turn around.
Stop gambling..save some money.
Prove to yourself and your family that you can change and life will get better.

How do I get in touch with him?
Dave's email is fallinpodcast@gmail.com
I totally relate. I went there aswell. A disgusting. Addiction.
It spirals quickly
my sister worked at ga she said 99% said they thought about suicide i dont mean anything wrong when i state you need balls has big has footballs to go through with it most gamblers say this after a big loss its mainly a cry for help if you listen to any podcast on line every gambling addict will say they they thought about it and some do dont get me wrong it is the worst addiction and what i have stated here is through my own experience i have said it many times after i lost everything
How much have you guys lost due to gambling?
It’s less about the amount of $$ lost than it is about the relationships, the lies, the self worth. That being said… a lot! At least for me.
i struggle with gambling addiction. im a compulsive gambler and i dont have anyone to help me cause i live in remote comunity
Gamblersinrecovery.com
m addicted to gambling i need help
Is it only a gambling problem because you lose more than you win? Is it a problem if you win more than you lose?
It's a problem the whole time, you just don't notice til you start losing
I dont think its a problem if youre an AP. If thats what youre asking
Very few people have the ability to be a winning gambler. It's very difficult..perhaps only 1 % can find an edge in sports / racing or poker for eg.
The biggest problem for most people is bankroll management..discipline.
People prone to develop serious gambling problems can't control themselves..any win will always be given back.
I have a friend with a serious problem whom has done that many many times . Won big and given it all back within a few days..
Even in this story the man turned 200 into a few k and ledt the casino broke.
Does he have a relationship with his children today?
Yes I do. I speak with my son most days. My daughter and granddaughters were at my house yesterday.
This is not a gambling problem this is more of a losing problem you kept losing you were not winning so you needed to make up a excuse for losing
All you need to do it just get on a hot streak and you will
Be fine
Just save the page for when you're ready kid
FYI....I can't subscribe (thought i was already!)- anyway, keeps saying "error" -ill try again!
Oh weird, all good thanks for the support!
What the hell is this video? Did you just steal some guys story and put yourself on top of it? He is obviously just telling his story from start to finish, and you're just editing in non existence questions in between his story...
Things random internet kids are mad about today: editing styles
Cunning, vicious, and insidious
It seems like this guy did this interview in full and you edited in random ass questions to fit his storyline. Bet you didnt even talk to this guy lmao
I hope you're doing ok :) you seem lonely
We talked. We recorded this last Sunday. BTW I am this guy.
@FallInPodcast Thank you for your honesty and bravery in telling your story it is very sobering to hear.
I lived in Vegas for about a year, never gambled ! You’d be surprised how many people go straight to the casino every Friday night, lose every single penny within a few hours !! Some people have a gambling addiction. That is just as bad as crack addiction
Thanks your Service 🫡 I'm glad you got things in order
