Podcast: Nothing’s Off the Table with Louis RuggieroPublished On: Tue Mar 24 2026
Description: What happens when you have money, power, and success… but still lose everything? In this episode of Nothing’s Off The Table, I sit down with Anthony Acampora, chaplain at Banyan Treatment Centers, who shares one of the most powerful stories of addiction, betrayal, gambling, and redemption you’ll ever hear. After rising to the top of his career, everything fell apart—resentment, anger, alcohol, and gambling took over his life. He lost relationships, money, and eventually… hope. Until one moment changed everything. “I was completely broken… and that’s when God stepped in.” From being kicked out, sleeping with nothing, and planning to end it all… to finding faith, forgiveness, and purpose—this is a story about what happens when you hit rock bottom and realize you’re not alone.
