Recovery isn't linear. It's a privilege and an honour that I don't take for granted for one single second.
In this episode of The Broke Girl Society, Christina sits down with Anna, the founder of The Untangled Project, to discuss the often-overlooked issue of female gambling addiction. Anna shares her personal journey, beginning with childhood exposure to gambling and detailing how it evolved into a significant part of her life. Her story is a testament to the power of community support and the importance of sharing experiences in recovery.
Anna talks candidly about the guilt, shame, and fear that accompany gambling addiction and the struggle to break free from its grip. She reveals how the death of her grandfather intensified her gambling habits, serving as a misguided attempt to connect with his memory. The conversation takes a hopeful turn as Anna discusses her path to recovery and the creation of The Untangled Project, which aims to provide support and community for women affected by gambling.
This initiative underscores the value of lived experiences in healing and the role collaboration plays in building supportive spaces. Anna's reflections highlight the significance of helping others as a means of helping oneself, a journey she describes as both rewarding and challenging. Christina and Anna explore the barriers women face in seeking help, emphasising the need for understanding and non-judgmental support.
They touch on the societal pressures that make admitting to gambling addiction difficult for many women, who often feel they should be able to manage it alongside their other responsibilities. This episode is an eye-opener for anyone interested in understanding gambling addiction from a woman's perspective. It encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences and consider how community support can be a vital part of recovery.
Whether you're someone affected by gambling or simply curious about the topic, Anna's story offers valuable insights into overcoming addiction and finding purpose in helping others.
