This doesn't work all the time, but through the grace of higher powers and people who helped Gina, she did get sober, she did get straight, she did quit gambling.
Imagine being a teenager and trying drugs for the first time, only to find yourself spiraling into addiction. That's Gina's story. She never touched alcohol or drugs until she was 16, but her first experience with crystal meth set her on a path of self-destruction. For the next decade, Gina's life was a whirlwind of highs and lows, marked by jail time for theft and prostitution, and a growing dependency on alcohol and gambling.
Her family watched helplessly as she seemed to lose herself completely. But Gina's story took an unexpected turn when her family got her featured on a documentary that turned out to be an episode of the acclaimed TV show, Intervention. This was her wake-up call. Gina realized she couldn't waste this opportunity to change her life. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, we hear Gina's raw and unfiltered account of her battle with addiction and her journey towards sobriety.
The episode doesn't just stop at Gina's story. It also features Rick Benson from Algamist, who sheds light on their innovative approach to helping those struggling with gambling addiction. The insights provided by Rick offer a broader perspective on how societal norms can sometimes mask the severity of addictive behaviors and how crucial intervention and support are in overcoming these challenges.
Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking to understand the complexities of addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It's a poignant reminder that no matter how far you've fallen, there's always a way back up.
