About this listen
The story of a young girl's entrapment in gambling addiction. The true advert for problem gambling and how it controlled her every movement, her every thought and almost took her life. How the guilt and shame that go hand-in-hand with addiction stopped her from reaching out for help for eight years as she didn't feel it was okay for a young female to be a problem gambler. How she believed it was a male dominated problem, and how eventually, she did find the tools that enabled her to become free of her addiction.

It stopped me in my tracks…
I hadn’t gambled for 8 years, and then a few months ago my mum asked if I wanted to put a bet on the races online. With my £5 I got 100 free spins on the slots. That was it I was in again, hook line and sinker… few months later after losing my disposable income for the month gambling I searched - girl gambler help. My search terms returned this I downloaded it instantly… thank you Stacey for your honesty, sharing your truth and highlighting that we need to remove the stereotype that it’s only men who suffer, as much as they need the support it was so great to be able to listen to the book and completely relate. For anyone else struggling alone out there, you can beat this, you will beat it and remember you’re really not alone, search resources, listen to books like this. Since listening I’ve not gambled, I’m following the triangle and I’ve signed up to GameStop etc. Fantastic book - thank you!!!

Incredibly insightful
An amazing insightful and inspirational book. The raw reality of addiction and it’s ripple effects laid bare but with the knowing that recovery truly is possible. I hope this book reaches those that need it most and this journey can continue to inspire and give hope to not just those in the grip of addiction but those riding the ripples too. Incredibly brave to revisit and share those moments but inspiring to others to know they’re never alone. Thank you for writing this.

Absolutely heartbreaking
Absolutely heartbreaking but a fabulously written account of how someone’s life can be turned upside down by this awful addiction! Thank you for sharing your deepest secrets, it can’t have been easy. I am sure it will have helped so many people see the light at the end of a very dark and difficult tunnel.
