Someone is going to hear your story and decide to stay.
I have had messages from people who were contemplating suicide and found a reason to keep going in somebody else’s episode. That is the whole point of the show.
Gamblers in recovery
Any length of time. Seven months counts as much as thirty years, and the early ones often reach people the hardest.
Families and partners
Parents, spouses, adult children. The side of this nobody hands an instruction manual to.
Clinicians and researchers
Counsellors, therapists, academics and people building treatment where none exists.
Advocates and lawmakers
If you are trying to change how this industry operates, there is an audience here for it.
People still in it
You do not have to be on the other side to talk. Some of the most useful episodes were recorded early.
How the recording works
No cameras until you want them, no surprises in the edit, and you can pull out at any point before it publishes.
Send the form
A few lines about your situation. I read every one myself.
A call first
Twenty minutes, no recording. You decide what is on and off the table.
Record it
About an hour, remotely or in the Chicago studio. No script and no gotchas.
You approve it
Nothing goes out that you have not agreed to. First name only if you prefer.
Tell me where you are
Nothing here is published. It comes straight to my inbox and I reply myself.
