I Lost EVERYTHING To Gambling - Christina Cook's Gambling Addiction Story

In this powerful interview, I sit down with Christina Cook, founder of The Broke Girl Society podcast and a gambling addiction survivor whose story was featured in the New York Post article, “Female gambling addict lost nearly $500K before getting help.” Christina opens up about how her casual gambling habit spiraled into a devastating addiction that cost her nearly half a million dollars before she finally reached a breaking point. She shares how hitting rock bottom forced her to seek support through Gamblers Anonymous and therapy, starting her journey to long-term recovery. This conversation highlights the often hidden reality of female gambling addiction, the financial and emotional toll it takes, and the strength it takes to break free. Christina’s recovery journey is not just about overcoming personal struggles, but also about creating a supportive space for women facing similar battles. Feeling isolated in GA meetings dominated by men, she built The Broke Girl Society to shine a light on women in gambling recovery, giving them a voice and a community free from shame. In this chat, we dive into how she turned her pain into purpose, raising awareness of gambling harm, fighting stigma, and inspiring others to seek help. If you’re searching for insights on gambling addiction recovery, women and gambling, online slots addiction, financial consequences of gambling, or how to stop gambling for good, this episode offers real hope and actionable inspiration straight from someone who’s lived it. ⸻ ▶️ Watch Next: The HORRIFIC TRUTH About My 20 Year Gambling Addiction    • The TRUTH About My 20 Year Gambling Addiction   ✅ Subscribe for more gambling recovery content    / @addictedrecovery   📸 Instagram for daily motivation   / addicted_recovery   • Christina’s website: https://thebrokegirlsociety.com/ • The Bet Free Life YouTube channel:    / @thebetfreelife   ⸻ 00:00 Christinas Gambling addiction story 6:17 You are mid heart attack! & My BIG win 13:14 Hiding my addiction 18:30 Something I’ve never admitted before 24:39 My cancer diagnosis 26:35 A break from gambling 29:54 My last ever bet 36:25 The very first step into recovery 42:15 The Broke Girl Society begins 46:37 Living a Life I dont wanna escape from ⸻ This video features personal stories about the dangers of gambling addiction and financial issues.
