    Welcome back to the final episode of Season 4 of the Embrace Family Recovery Podcast. Today, we conclude our conversation with Terra Carbert, sharing her personal experiences with gambling addiction and recovery. Terra highlights the value of having a sponsor and participating in therapy.

    Terra also discussed the need for safe and inclusive online and offline spaces and the potential benefits of online meetings for bridging the gap for those lacking access to in-person meetings.

    Additionally, they discussed the availability and effectiveness of treatment centers, emphasizing the need for more research funding, licensed gambling-specific treatment, and peer recovery support services.

    Let's return to Terra Carbert, the founder of the Self Discovery Sisterhood, coach, and host of the Ambitious Addictspodcast.
