Dave from the Fall In Podcast: Gambling Addiction in the Military

I think, and that's the mindset- and I've talked a lot about this with a lot of different people- if maybe the stigma hadn't been so quiet when they started the programs back in The Late Fifties. And if I had known that this community was out there and could back me, you know would have helped me sooner.
Imagine facing the battles of military life and then grappling with a hidden enemy: gambling addiction. In this episode of 'The Broke Girl Society', Christina sits down with Dave from the Fall In Podcast to uncover the unique struggles faced by military personnel and veterans dealing with gambling problems. Dave's story is one of resilience and recovery, highlighting the importance of awareness and support in overcoming addiction.
He opens up about his own journey, shedding light on the impact of gambling on personal relationships and finances, and the additional challenges that come with military service. Dave passionately discusses the need for education about gambling harm within the military community and the crucial role of effective blocking software. He emphasizes that seeking help and engaging in recovery can break the cycle of shame and stigma.
Through heartfelt conversation, Christina and Dave explore how community and support systems are vital for recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone connected to the military who is struggling with gambling addiction or knows someone who is. Tune in to hear Dave's inspiring story and his dedication to helping others find hope and healing.
