  BGS Group Podcast: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me

  Jun 30, 20261h 10mS6

  Christina is joined by women from the BGS community as they share what they wish someone had told them in the early days of recovery from gambling harm. Together, the women talk about the fear of beginning, the weight of shame, the belief that they were alone, and the relief of finally hearing someone else say, “Me too.” They also share how gambling became an escape from stress, caregiving, loneliness, grief, trauma, motherhood, hormones, relationships, and the pressure to hold everything together. With voices ranging from one day bet free to nearly ten years in recovery, this conversation offers honesty, hope, and connection for anyone who is still gambling, newly stopping, or wondering if recovery is really possible.
