I think part of the reason why, like quitting, gambling has been so hard for me is because it represents so many different things for me... I'm looking at my bills, I'm, I'm obsessively budgeting, I'm obsessively thinking, but on the same time, on the same terms I can, I can flip that around and be a compulsive spender.
Kayo’s journey through the tumultuous world of gambling addiction is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. In this episode of 'The Broke Girl Society', Christina sits down with Kayo, who bravely opens up about her struggles with compulsive gambling and her path to recovery. Kayo’s story begins with the innocent allure of gambling, which quickly spiraled into a destructive habit. She recounts the mounting debts, the stress of hiding her addiction, and the toll it took on her mental and physical health.
But Kayo’s story isn’t just about the dark times; it’s also about finding light at the end of the tunnel. Through tools like Gamban, a gambling blocking software, and the support of Gambling Anonymous meetings, Kayo found a way out. She shares how therapy played a crucial role in her recovery and emphasizes the importance of building a strong support network. Her candid discussion about redirecting compulsive spending urges into healthier activities offers practical advice for anyone facing similar struggles.
This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of transformation, providing hope and encouragement for those battling addiction.
