If we bring faith, it is our basket. If we bring that basket to carry the bread, we will never be alone.
Ever wondered if there's more to faith than just luck at the poker table? In this episode of the '3-21 NoKiddin' Gambling Addiction Recovery Podcast', Bobbie the Awesome dives into the deep waters of faith and its role in recovery from gambling addiction. She opens up about her own experiences, questioning what faith looked like during her gambling days versus now.
Bobbie's warm and engaging style invites you to reflect on your own journey and how faith, in any form, can be a cornerstone in your recovery process. Bobbie doesn't just stick to personal stories; she offers a variety of recovery methods and self-care strategies that have helped her and others on their path to a better life. From the miracle of taking small steps to the comfort of believing in a higher power, she emphasizes that there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
Instead, she encourages exploring different tools for mental and physical health. One of the most touching moments in this episode is when Bobbie talks about the poem 'Footprints in the Sand' by Margaret Fishback Powers, which she found particularly inspiring. She reminds us that whether we attribute our recovery to God, a higher power, or simply the support of loved ones, what matters is that we asked for help and received it.
If you're struggling with gambling addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a blend of hope, practical advice, and a reminder that you’re not alone on this journey. Bobbie’s reflections are a powerful testament to the role faith can play in overcoming addiction and finding a new path forward.
