I've been able to connect with a couple of people from the military and to actually coach and work with them as problem gamblers in the military. I had a gentleman reach out to me through the podcast who is multiple years in recovery for his addiction, but he felt like he was kind of, you know, losing energy on it for some reason, and then found the podcast and said he was rejuvenated. And he said he feels like it saved his recovery.
What happens when the battle isn't just on the front lines but within yourself? In this gripping episode of 'The Broke Girl Society', Christina sits down with Dave Yeager, a veteran who faced a different kind of war: gambling addiction. Dave opens up about his journey, sharing the highs and lows of his struggle while serving in the military.
His story doesn't stop there; he also dives into the process of writing his new book, 'Fall In: A Veteran with Gambling Problem'. This episode is particularly poignant for military members and veterans, but anyone dealing with addiction will find Dave's honesty and resilience inspiring. You'll hear about the unique challenges faced by those in uniform and the resources available to help them. Dave's advocacy work shines through as he discusses support systems and recovery options tailored for veterans.
If you're looking for a heartfelt, genuine conversation about overcoming addiction and finding hope, this episode is a must-listen.
