Marissa didn’t care about sports bets—she chased slots. A Super Bowl promo and an $800 win lit the fuse, and the “side hustle” quickly became debt, secrecy, and monthly trigger cycles. In this candid conversation, she breaks down how hormones and stress amplified urges, why telling her fiancé changed everything, and the practical guardrails (paycheck split, no credit cards, shared oversight) that are helping her rebuild. We cover stigma vs. disease, her brother’s five-year self-exclusion, and how sharing daily on TikTok created accountability and community. If you’re a partner or parent of someone struggling—or you’re in the first 90 days yourself—this episode offers concrete tools and hope. This channel is dedicated to spreading awareness about gambling addiction and helping individuals better understand the risks of excessive gambling. Through powerful storytelling, educational content, and real-life experiences, we aim to shine a light on the dangers of gambling and provide tools for recovery. Whether you're seeking help, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to learn more, our mission is to create a safe space for open conversations about gambling addiction.
