In this episode of the Broke Girl Society podcast, the hosts and guests share their personal journeys of overcoming gambling addiction/affliction/disorder/problem. They reflect on the challenges they faced, the steps they took towards recovery, and the hope they found in community support. Each story highlights the importance of self-awareness, the struggle of gambling related harm, and the power of resilience as they move into the new year with renewed strength and determination.
**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.
