Rick Benson is the founder of Algamus Treatment Center in Prescott, AZ. It's one of only a few gambling specific residential treatment programs in the US. Rick shares with us his personal journey of addiction, his recovery and how Algamus came about. He also talks about why for some stepping away from our life can be just the reset we need for a stronger more solid recovery. Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Algamus. This is not a paid advertisement. I have not been through the program myself. I just want to provide different options available for treatment. Ps. This was my very first interview. I was really nervous in the beginning so hang in there it gets better. And also please forgive how many times I said the word reset. ~Christina

	Foundations of Recovery: Episode 101 ~ ACCEPTANCE	29 Apr 2024	00:09:30
Limited Series: Foundations of Recovery Episode: One - Acceptance In this episode, Christina introduces the concept of acceptance in addiction recovery. Acceptance involves acknowledging the presence of a problem, taking responsibility for our actions, and embracing the need for change. It also requires letting go of denial and facing the reality of the situation. Embracing change and building self-compassion are important aspects of acceptance. Christina encourages listeners to join support groups and be open to new perspectives and strategies. The next episode will focus on accountability in recovery. Our Goal: Building A Life We Don't Want To Escape From! If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals. We only speak from our own perspective and experience. This recording should not be used as a replacement for professional help but as encouragement in your recovery journey. ~ This episode is sponsored by The Better Institute - Where people go to get better! https://betterinstitute.com/problem-gambling-help/' ~And Birches Health - Online Gambling Addiction Treatment That Works! https://bircheshealth.com/ ********************************************************************************************************* For more information on the GRIT Act: https://www.ncpgambling.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022.09.01-GRIT-Act-OneSheet.pdf If you’d like to support the work I do please rate this episode (Please be Kind!) #gamblingaddiction #recovery #gamblersanonymous #gambling Helpful links: https://www.ncpgambling.org/ You can find State and International Resources Here https://800gambler.org/ https://gamban.com/ Online gambling blocking software https://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/ https://gamblersinrecovery.com/ - 24/7 meetings all over the world https://recoveryroadonline.com/ - meetings throughout the day Christina Cook: https://thebrokegirlsociety.com/ / christina@thebrokegirlsociety.com Terra Carbert: https://ambitiousaddicts.com/ Brian Hatch: https://endgamblingharm.com/ UK Help: https://gordonmoody.org.uk/ https://www.betknowmoreuk.org/services/new-beginnings Australia Help: https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/ Canada Help: https://www.camh.ca/en/health-info/mental-illness-and-addiction-index/problem-gambling Podcasts: The Bet Free Life: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPTgu-Tss6gKy2kJaY8OvZA Ambitious Addicts: https://ambitiuosaddicts.libsyn.com/2021 All In: The Addicted Gambler’s Podcast: https://addictedgamblerpodcast.libsyn.com/ Support groups:** The BGS Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1520878581449100/ Ambitious Women in Recovery: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ambitiouswomeninrecovery/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1182930495779649/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/138607691434337/ https://www.facebook.com/TheSelfDiscoverySisterhood
