  • Thank you

    I just found your podcast a couple days ago and am working it into my morning routine, starting from the beginning. I have been a compulsive gambler for 18 years and have dabbled in all forms. But the thing that really brought me down in the end was a combination of the legalization of sports betting and DFS. My last bet was 08/21/21. From what I can tell after only the first few episodes, our stories are very similar. Thanks so much for the podcast.

[51] ALL RECOVERY SERIES - Erinn E. Shares Her Recovery Story
Q: What words of encouragement would you offer to someone just entering recovery or struggling?
You are worth it and stronger than you know. Find what looks like your life and fight for it, seek the right therapy and groups, and build a predictable, supportive routine with a tribe that helps you climb the mountains of recovery.
[51] ALL RECOVERY SERIES - Erinn E. Shares Her Recovery Story
Q: What has worked for you to sustain long-term recovery?
Gratitude and ongoing self-discovery are central. She talks about surrounding herself with a recovery-supportive network, maintaining self-awareness, setting boundaries, and treating recovery as a living practice—continuously learning, helping others, and staying engaged with community and family.
[51] ALL RECOVERY SERIES - Erinn E. Shares Her Recovery Story
Q: Aside from your recovery tools, what have you done to rebuild your life and restore meaning?
Erinn shares returning to school, earning degrees in chemical dependency, and eventually taking on prevention work within a recovery center. She describes how education and volunteering fed her sense of purpose and allowed her to help others while continuing to grow personally.
[51] ALL RECOVERY SERIES - Erinn E. Shares Her Recovery Story
Q: What recovery methods have you tried that didn't work well for you and why?
She notes that there isn't a single path that fails everyone; instead, she advocates for flexibility and backup plans. She discusses the value of exploring various pathways (inpatient, outpatient, harm reduction) and the understanding that what doesn't work at first can still be part of a broader, ongoing recovery strategy.
[51] ALL RECOVERY SERIES - Erinn E. Shares Her Recovery Story
Q: What have been the tools that you've used in recovery to maintain it successfully, and what have you found that works best for you and why?
Erinn describes treating recovery as a master class in self-awareness, committing to truth-telling, trusting helpful caregivers, embracing 12-step structures, and building a life where accountability, gratitude, and regular practice (like coffee commitments, attending meetings, and staying connected with sponsors) become foundational. She emphasizes integrating multiple tools and aligning them with her life so that the recovery plan fits her rather than forcing her to fit a rigid template.
