The Recovery Toolkit Podcast

Steve joins Richie to share the experience which finally got him to say he had a problem with gambling, resulting in going through the criminal justice system after having committed fraud. Steve explains how he was abstinent for a while before he actually started to look at himself and his behaviours. A big part of Steve’s recovery was down to Gamblers Anonymous. Steve made it a personal mission to find out more about the Gambling Commission and Gambling Industry and how he could help others. He has had number of roles both voluntary and employed in the sector and has had a such positive impact on many people in recovery and continues to be a story of hope and inspiration.

Stacey (AKA the girl gambler) shares her story of recovery and how she went from a life of gambling to a life of not gambling, and learning how to live again.
She talks about how writing her book and setting up her TikTok were ways to deal with lockdown and early recovery. After being abstinent for a few years, she then started to rediscover herself and followed her passion to creating Woman. Empowered with Recover Together.
In this episode, you can hear how Stacey now manages her recovery, what tools are now in her toolbox, and also the advice she offers those in their early recovery. We cover boundaries, relationships, self-worth, confidence, and working out what her true value is now.
