Black Women in Recovery- Our stories have power

For Recovery Month, we wanted to highlight two amazing women, Dr. Sandra Adell and Karen Lee Reddick, both in recovery from gambling addiction, and are creating spaces for other black women to share their stories. We discuss on this episode why representation in treatment and support programs matters, the stigma about women in addictions, and provide hope for black women seeking to find help and share their story.ResourcesBlack Lesbian United- https://blacklesbiansunited.org/Gamblers in Recovery- https://gamblersinrecovery.com/Problem Gambling support group for Black women- please contact- [email protected] Confessions of a Slot Machine Queen- $ 23.95 with $10 shipping.
