Part 2 - Taboo recovery group topics w/ Terra

In this episode, Christina and Terra discuss taboo subjects related to gambling, specifically the temptations of free play and free gifts. They explore the triggers and challenges associated with these incentives and how they can impact individuals in recovery. They also touch on the topic of controlled gambling and why it is not discussed in their support group. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding personal triggers and finding support to navigate through them. It's important to find a recovery approach that works for each individual and the need for open-mindedness and curiosity in navigating the challenges you might face in recovery. **If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals.
