When I first arrived at Algamus, I was in one of the lowest points of my life. I didn’t know if I could ever beat gambling—it felt like it had complete control over me. I wasn’t sure if change was even possible. But after completing the 35-day program, I can confidently say I walked out a completely different person: stronger, healthier, and more at peace with myself than I’ve ever been. Most importantly, I've remained gamble-free. The professionals on staff are top notch. Stephanie, the psychiatrist, was absolutely incredible—she has a way of teaching that makes everything click, and her lessons still guide me every day. Anthony brought this calm wisdom to his group sessions, and his quotes and insights stuck with me in a way I’ll never forget. Terrence’s sessions were eye-opening and gave me practical tools that I could immediately apply. And then there’s Doug, the house manager. Having been through his own battles, he understood me on a level no one else could. He went out of his way to make sure I was supported whenever I needed it. On top of that, I met people here that I’ll consider friends for life—others who had been in the same position I was in. That sense of connection and community in recovery is priceless. If it weren’t for Algamus, I honestly don’t know where I would be right now. Since finishing the program, I haven’t had a single urge to gamble—not one. That in itself feels like a miracle. Algamus didn’t just help me stop gambling; it gave me back my life, my confidence, and my future. I am beyond grateful for this program and everyone involved. If you’re struggling and wondering if it can work for you, take it from me: it works. Algamus changes lives.
