Sonja discusses her early experiences with gambling, the escalation of her addiction, and the impact it had on her relationships, particularly with her husband. She reflects on the challenges of recognizing her gambling problem and the path to recovery, including the importance of community support. Sonja emphasizes that recovery is a personal journey and encourages others to seek help before hitting rock bottom. **If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals. We only speak from our own perspective and experience.
