Whatever the next step is for you, whether it's seeking outside help, whether it's, you know, excluding, because that's a very, very personal journey, um self-exclusion, or whether it's journaling and just even the simplest form of just acknowledging that you have a problem with gambling like that, the simplest first step- acknowledging that you have a problem is wholeheartedly the scariest thing I've ever done in my life.
What would you do if a seemingly harmless escape turned into a life-consuming addiction? In this episode of 'The Broke Girl Society', Christina sits down with Gen, who bravely shares her journey through the dark corridors of gambling addiction. Gen recounts how what started as a way to cope with life's stresses quickly spiraled into borrowing money, taking out loans, and hiding her secret from loved ones. The toll it took on her relationships and finances was immense.
But this story isn't just about the struggle; it's about the strength to seek help and the courage to change. Gen opens up about the steps she took towards recovery, including self-exclusion and reaching out for support. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the problem and the necessity of creating safe spaces where women can seek help without fear of judgment. Gen's narrative is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is possible and that support can make all the difference.
If you're battling addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical advice.
