GAMBLING RECOVERY

Leave Gambling Behind,
Let’s Build What Comes Next

You don’t have to keep living this way.

If you’re stuck in a cycle of gambling that feels impossible to break or if you’ve already stopped,

but the rest of life still feels wobbly, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

The Recovery Partners coaching program is for people ready to make a change.

Not just to stop gambling — but to start living more honestly, more joyfully, and with real hope

and direction.

 

A Personal Note

From tossing chips in for my dad at family poker games to co-founding The Recovery Partners, I’ve lived through both the thrill and the wreckage of compulsive gambling — and ultimately turned those experiences into the foundation for a life more joyful and meaningful than I could have imagined, even before gambling ever took hold.

The Recovery Partners Story

What started as a deep friendship rooted in recovery grew into something much larger — a shared mission to help others move beyond addictive gambling into lives of joy, purpose, and peace.

Brian and I didn’t just want to help people stop gambling — we wanted to help them build something better in its place: a life that’s full, honest, and whole. The Recovery Partners is the result of that vision. It’s where lived experience meets real structure, where practical tools meet heartfelt support.

For those who are ready, it’s a different kind of path — one grounded in connection, community, and the belief that recovery should feel good.

 SUCCESS STORIES

  • I’ve been in recovery circles since 1989 and have known Sal since 2013. He’s insightful, well-disciplined, and has an uncanny knack for getting to the heart of the matter and offering solutions that are both enthusiastic and practical. His professional background, combined with abundant street smarts, has served him well in helping many people turn their lives around from addictive gambling. Time spent with Sal is time well spent.

  • Since working with Sal and Brian, I’ve grown emotionally, spiritually, and personally. I’m becoming the best version of myself. I’ve always known God, but my relationship with Him is now stronger than ever. Anger used to control me. Now I pause before I speak, and I feel more patient, peaceful, and content. Before coaching, I struggled to see the good in life. I acted like everything was fine, but inside, I lived with a “glass-half-empty" mindset. Stopping gambling brings the money back—but more importantly, it brings back your relationships. Thanks to Sal and Brian, my connection with family, friends, and God is deeper than ever.

  • Brian and Sal are offering a gift of recovery that so many need and that truly changes lives as it has mine. Their knowledge, kindness, and love gave me hope at a time when I had very little. Through daily work and their steady guidance, my entire way of thinking began to shift. It started with Brian, and continued with Brian and Sal helping me build the mindset I needed to first keep gambling arrested then move toward a healthier, more honest way of living. They helped me create a forcefield of love around myself and the people I care about.

    JOSH (45) / CALIFORNIA

  • My insanity had no bottom. I had no hope. I thought my life was destined to be an endless cycle — working one full-time job just to fund another: my compulsive gambling. I’d stay in luxury suites but not have cab fare back to the hotel. I made a six-figure income and still got evicted. I went to prison because of my gambling... and I still couldn’t stop. Recovery didn’t truly take hold for me until I connected with Sal and Brian. They bring grounded wisdom you don’t often find — calm, steady, and authentic. Sal is like a Recovery Consigliere: direct but never harsh. He helped me realize recovery has to be for me. Brian is the spiritual guide you didn’t know you needed — full of lived wisdom and genuine service. Today, I’m engaged, running successful businesses, and I’m a grandpa. I’m a better, calmer, happier, and kinder person than ever. I would have none of that if I were still gambling.

    SCOTT (52) / CALIFORNIA

  • Having been around the block in gambling recovery for nearly 4 decades, I’ve gotten pretty good at recognizing a genuine and gifted helper when I see one. Brian is one of those rare gems. His enthusiasm and selfless energy for mentoring others are unsurpassed. His deep understanding of what it takes to build a joyful, well-rounded recovery from gambling addiction is grounded in a strong moral and spiritual framework — one that has benefited many, including myself.

    MARK (82) / FLORIDA

  • I have so much gratitude in my life today as a result of the work I’ve done through Brian’s coaching and support. Serenity, patience, acceptance, and forgiveness now fill my soul. Thanks to Brian, I have a new internal operating system that’s guiding me as I continue building a better version of myself. He brings a warmth and a listening presence that’s both patient and deeply understanding. There’s no judgment—just steady support. Through writing exercises, discussions, and deep reflection, he helped me uncover the roots of the patterns that led to my gambling. More importantly, he’s helped me better understand who I am and the nature of my addiction.

    CHAD (53) / CALIFORNIA

  • When I first met Brian and Sal, I felt stuck. I desperately wanted to break old habits and build better ones, but I didn’t know where to start. Their calm, grounded approach helped me see that real change was possible — even if it came slowly, one day at a time. Meeting with them has been one of the key ingredients in helping me turn things around. Today, I feel stronger, more focused, and finally on a path that makes sense and, thankfully, does NOT include gambling!
