Terra Carbert: Healing from Gambling Addiction and Finding Purpose

I'm pretty on fire about wanting everybody in the world to know that healing is possible and that you can create a life you don't want to escape from ever again, or that you'll have the tools if you kind of get that itch to escape from reality.
When life threw Terra Carbert a curveball, she found herself turning to gambling as a way to cope with her mother's cancer diagnosis. What started as a distraction soon spiraled into a full-blown addiction, leaving her life in shambles. In this episode of Recovery Survey, Terra opens up about her tumultuous journey and the steps she took to reclaim her life. Terra's story is one of resilience and transformation.
She candidly discusses how she hit rock bottom and the pivotal moment that led her to seek help through a 12-step program and therapy. With unwavering determination, Terra founded Ambitious Addicts, a supportive community aimed at helping women in recovery realize their worth and potential. Through her own experiences, Terra emphasizes the power of surrendering control, especially when it comes to finances, and the vital role spirituality plays in recovery.
She shares how letting go of preconceived notions and being open to different paths of healing were crucial in her journey. Terra also highlights the importance of self-care, urging others to attend to their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Her heartfelt message is clear: recovery is possible, and everyone deserves a chance at a fulfilling life. Tune in to hear Terra's inspiring story and gain valuable insights into overcoming addiction.
