The Girl Gambler

A Young Woman's Story of Her Escape from Gambling Addiction

By: Stacey Goodwin

Narrated by: Deborah Balm

The story of a young girl's entrapment in gambling addiction. The true advert for problem gambling and how it controlled her every movement, her every thought and almost took her life. How the guilt and shame that go hand-in-hand with addiction stopped her from reaching out for help for eight years as she didn't feel it was okay for a young female to be a problem gambler. How she believed it was a male dominated problem, and how eventually, she did find the tools that enabled her to become free of her addiction.

I couldn't stop listening!

A harrowing story about a gambling addict that will hold up a mirror to those that struggle. Women gamblers at any stage of the addiction will understand Steph's need to lie to her self and others. It reveals the inevitable downward spiral that gambling addicts face. I could not stop listening, from start to finish... so many truths revealed that can/ will help other women. Grateful for such a well-written story about a female gambler, and the coping mechanisms shared that will help others get better!
