I, Butterly; A Podcast for Affected Others: Recent Episodes
Kelly D
Hi, I'm Kelly D, the wife of a recovering compulsive gambler. I started this podcast in hopes to reach others being affected by an addiction whether its through AA, GA or NA. I think it is so important to share our stories and come together in support through an extremely difficult time in our lives. If you'd like to be part of the podcast or share your thoughts or ideas feel free to email me at ibutterflypodcast@yahoo.com.
In this episode I talk about the different changes I've made throughout my recovery. If you would like to learn more about the conference I mentioned going on March 9 & 10 please click the link below.

In this episode I talk about the ups and downs of this journey, as there are a lot! Recovery is an emotional roller coaster but it's important to remember to be patient with yourself. If your interested in reading the article I referenced today check out:

In this episode, I discuss what I'm doing for my recovery. The help I am getting on my journey is through my weekly gam-anon meetings (gam-anon.org - meeting directory - virtual meetings) and finding my therapist through the National Council on Problem Gambling (1-800-522-4700) which will put you in touch with your local council. I also referenced the podcasts I have done with Christina from The Broke Girls Society (episode uploaded on September 2, 2021 & February 3, 2022) & The Bet Free Life with Brian Hatch & Christina Cooke (episode 4).
In this episode, I share a little about my story and what lead me to creating this podcast. It is so important to share our experiences on this journey so others struggling may get some peace in knowing they will be ok. You are not alone.
