But we can't think that way when we're in the midst of our gambling addiction.
Imagine excelling in law school, passing the bar, and landing a dream job, all while secretly battling a gambling addiction. That's Michelle M.'s story.

In this episode of 'The Broke Girl Society', Michelle opens up about the financial chaos and legal troubles she faced due to her gambling habit.
But it's not just a tale of downfall; it's also one of resilience and redemption. Despite being told by a judge that she didn't deserve to follow her dreams, Michelle found hope in recovery. She now advocates for gambling diversion courts and connects with others through podcasting. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and no one should ever feel unworthy of their dreams.
