Gambling Relapse: Understanding Omnipotence and Staying Mindful
If we're doing all those things, maybe relapse is not even in sight.
Ever felt like you had everything under control, only to realize you were ignoring crucial advice? In this episode of the '3-21 NoKiddin' Gambling Addiction Recovery Podcast', Bobbie Malatesta dives deep into the concept of omnipotence and its role in gambling relapse. Omnipotence, a mix of various symptoms, often makes us closed-minded and resistant to suggestions, which can be a dangerous path for anyone in recovery.
Bobbie challenges listeners to reflect on their own experiences and identify if they’re showing signs of these symptoms. She emphasizes the need for daily self-awareness and regular evaluation of emotions and achievements. This episode also touches on the idea that it doesn’t matter if casinos are open or closed; what truly matters is the effort you put into your recovery every single day. Bobbie, along with her guests, provides valuable insights into gambling disorders, other addictions, and different recovery methods.
Whether you're struggling with gambling addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt support to help navigate the journey to recovery.
