Ask For Help! ❤️‍🩹

One of the hardest parts of compulsive collecting, overspending, or gambling addiction isn't the behavior itself.

It's the guilt and shame.

When an activity is disguised as a hobby, passion, or childhood nostalgia, it can be difficult to admit it's becoming a problem.

In this clip, Rob Sackowitz shares an important reminder: You are not alone. You are not broken. And you do not have to keep struggling in silence and isolation.

If you're hurting, ask for help. Recovery starts with a conversation.

In Episode #46 of The Collector’s Compass, Founder & CEO of Right Choice Recovery, Rob Sackowitz, joins us to discuss recovery, gambling addiction, and how lived experience can become a powerful force for helping others.

With 13+ years of sobriety from both substance use and gambling addiction, Rob shares his journey from rock bottom to building a leading treatment center, while Alyx reflects on his own path from client to counselor. Together, they explore accountability, long-term recovery, and the growing overlap between gambling addiction and compulsive collecting.

This is a conversation about recovery, redemption, and how our greatest struggles can become our greatest source of purpose.

A huge thank you to @SportsCollector Daily and Conor McGrath for taking the time to share the story behind Collectors MD and helping bring awareness to an important conversation emerging across both the collectibles space and the gambling recovery world.

For years, conversations around compulsive collecting, overspending, card breaking, and gambling-adjacent behaviors largely existed in the shadows. Today, more collectors, families, clinicians, and industry leaders are beginning to recognize that while the hobby creates tremendous joy for millions, there are also individuals who may struggle with the financial, emotional, and psychological challenges that can sometimes accompany it.

We're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to discuss our mission, share our story, and continue advocating for greater awareness, education, prevention, support, and public health-focused approaches to gambling-adjacent harm within modern collecting environments.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Collectors MD, attended a meeting, shared their story, signed the petition, partnered with us, or helped move this conversation forward.

Collectors MD is growing, the conversation is expanding, and we're only getting started.

🚨"I thought maybe it was $200,000... $300,000."

The reality? Over $1.5 million spent on @Whatnot in just a few months.

In this raw moment, Sean reflects on the day he finally confronted the reality of his spending after months of compulsive breaking and chasing losses. When he finally looked at his transaction history, the total was far beyond anything he had imagined, forcing him to come to terms with the true extent of the damage.

Addiction has a way of distorting reality. Numbers become abstract. Losses blur together. Until one day, you're faced with the truth.

Recovery often begins with a single, uncomfortable step: facing reality.

If you are facing similar struggles, you are not alone. Help is available. Don't wait. Take the first step today and sign up for our free weekly meetings today for support, accountability, and change. Link in bio.

🎙️Catch the full episode of The Collector's Compass and hear how Sean started rebuilding after his multi-million dollar wake-up call. Now streaming on all platforms.
