BeccaAnne0309 ,

Love it!

Super helpful in my recovery. I think my story would be very interesting on a podcast 😬😉

litefeather ,

Breath of fresh air to my recovery❣️

These podcasts are so helpful to my recovery- I very much appreciate the podcast’s tipis and discussion s - definitely feel connected when I’m listening ❣️

Brandon B, compulsive gambler ,

Broke boy here

Heard Christina on an episode of the All In podcast and immediately felt such a strong connection. Early in my recovery and love listening to her story in the mornings to help keep me on the right track. Didn’t realize the podcast world had such a strong GA/addiction community! Love the title too, we become so much more broken than just financially with this addiction. Keep shining, we’re listening!
