Adam & Christina | Expectations vs. Reality in Recovery

Adam and Christina sit down without a guest this week to get into something that doesn't get talked about enough: the gap between what people expect recovery to look like and what it actually is.They cover the fear of losing gambling as a coping mechanism, why stopping the behavior is just the beginning, what it actually takes to get to "one day at a time" and mean it, and why the people you meet in recovery rooms are often the greatest people you will ever know. Christina also shares that she is approaching 2,000 days since her last bet. Adam reflects on four and a half years of recovery and what he still doesn't have figured out.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS🟢 Evive — Digital support for gambling behavior change🌐 https://www.getevive.com/📱 Download the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/evive-gambling-support/id6450926060🟣 The Broke Girl Society with Christina Cook — Community and recovery support for women🌐 https://thebrokegirlsociety.com/ 🎙️Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-broke-girl-society-podcast/id1575593868🎙️Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/74DP23EzfR6WPpPMLYq45x📺 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@thebrokegirlsociety🎧 The Modern Meeting Podcast with Adam Lyons — Gambling recovery, real talk🌐 https://themodernmeeting.com/ 🎙️ Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-modern-meeting/id1779060982🎙️ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1jMSSKkadnvzbvZl33dzZc📺 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@ModernMeeting━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔔 Subscribe to Evive Live for new episodes featuring the clinicians, researchers, advocates, and people in recovery who are changing how we think about gambling harm.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Evive Live is produced by Evive, a digital health platform dedicated to gambling behavior change.
