I think for me, if I'm talking about powerlessness, how I, how I perceive it, is whenever we live in our shame and our guilt, or even our denial, all that holds power over us.
Imagine taking the first step towards reclaiming your life from the grip of addiction. In this episode of 'The Broke Girl Society', Christina is joined by Terra from 'Ambitious Addicts' to tackle the very first step in the recovery journey. Both women bring their unique perspectives to the table - Christina as a compulsive gambler and Terra from the lens of codependency.
Together, they dive into the themes of powerlessness and unmanageability, offering listeners a heartfelt and candid discussion on what it truly means to admit you need help. Christina emphasizes the importance of journaling as a therapeutic tool, sharing how it has been instrumental in her own recovery. Terra, on the other hand, opens up about the fear of judgment and self-protection mechanisms that often hinder progress.
They also address the stigma and labels associated with gambling addiction, shedding light on how these societal perceptions can impact one's mental health. Listeners will find solace in their conversation about the role of community and support systems in overcoming addiction. By sharing their personal stories and struggles, Christina and Terra provide a beacon of hope for anyone feeling isolated in their journey.
This episode is not just about steps and strategies; it's about finding strength in vulnerability and understanding that recovery is a collective effort. Whether you're battling gambling addiction, dealing with codependency, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of camaraderie.
