Addiction can come in many forms. Such as substances, behaviours, and impulse control disorders. Today Joey and Danny discuss with Jessica Gades one of the most toxic addictions, Gambling and how addictions can wreck your life in the blink of an eye.
Show Notes:
At age 21 Jessica had the life many youngsters could never dream of. A successful career, a brand new house, a stable relationship, fast cars and lots of travelling abroad.
But little did she know that in the space of two years everything would change.
The loss of her grandmother was almost impossible for her to bear and that’s when everything went south. Drugs took away the pain and everything else in between.
She had lost everything.
Addiction was not where she nor her family saw her life heading. From a catholic all-girls school brilliant student to a law-breaking addict. She could never see this coming. She was lost without knowing where to look for help.
By age 23, she was devastated. She wanted her life back. A life free of fear, anger, pain and hopelessness.
After 7 years, 2 detoxes, 4 rehabs and countless relapses she found her way back. Today, she works in the hospitality industry in the gaming rooms of Pubs in Sydney and is sitting with us today to talk about her journey to live a better life and how to find the right support on your way to recovery.
