The Ga recovery program is not simply about stopping gambling and solving those problems. It is about bringing about a personality change, and the-step recovery program is the mainstay of that.
Imagine the grip of addiction, but instead of alcohol or drugs, it's gambling that pulls you in. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Clare and Kevin Kennedy sit down with Dan from Gamblers Anonymous to shed light on a form of addiction that's often overlooked but equally destructive. Dan opens up about his personal battle with gambling, sharing raw and honest moments from his journey to recovery.
He talks about the immense impact gambling had on his life, from financial ruin to strained relationships, and how Gamblers Anonymous became his lifeline. Dan also delves into the emotional toll of gambling addiction and the importance of personality change in the recovery process. He highlights how the 12-step program and virtual meetings offered by Gamblers Anonymous played a crucial role in his healing.
This episode doesn't shy away from discussing the collateral damage caused by gambling addiction, including dysfunctional family dynamics and childhood issues that often accompany it. Clare and Kevin guide the conversation with empathy and understanding, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, whether directly or through a loved one. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt call to action, encouraging those struggling with gambling addiction to seek help and find their path to recovery.
Tune in to hear Dan's inspiring story and learn more about the support systems available through Gamblers Anonymous.
