Reclaiming Our Voices: Women in Recovery

For Women’s History Month, we wanted to highlight two amazing women who are reclaiming their voices. Christina and Terra are both in recovery from gambling addiction, as well as advocates creating safe spaces for women in recovery to also share their story and find support. We discuss on this episode why representation in treatment matters, stigma about women in addictions, and effects on mental health.Links to Terra and Christina's podcasts:Terra's Podcast: Ambitious Addicts https://apple.co/3NqTAaeTerra's website https://terra.getgamblinghelp.org/ Christina's Podcast: The Broke Girls Society https://apple.co/36GQtKr Christina's Vodcast: The Bet Free Life https://bit.ly/36i7NphIf you or someone you know is experiencing gambling problems or is looking to stop gambling, reach out and we will help you navigate the resources available.

Om Podcasten

Hello and welcome to the Hidden Addiction Podcast. This podcast is brought to you by the New York Council on Problem Gambling. Across New York state we have 7 resource centers dedicated to connecting individuals to care. We are here to increase awareness about problem gambling and advocate for support services for persons adversely affected by problem gambling. Problem Gambling is defined as risking something of value on a game of chance. There can be many types of gambling, and it can affect anyone at any time in their life. It may not be talked about often and kept in the dark, but we hope this podcast sheds light on the hidden addiction of gambling and brings forth resources and information for you to use.
