The Kitty Chronicles: Part 3 - "Ambivalence & Radical Acceptance"

The Kitty Chronicles: Part 3 - “Ambivalence & Radical Acceptance”

Can two seemingly opposite things be true at once?  In perhaps the most thought-provoking episode of our five-part series, Kitty presents both sides of some poignant assertions we often hear in gambling recovery, including:  “you have to hit your bottom”, “time matters”, “gamblers are smart (or dumb!)” and the idea of “responsible gambling”.  You may not agree with her irreverent ideas; the important part of ambivalence is compassion for self and others who see things differently.  You do you, Boo.

Kitty Martz, CGRM, CGAC II is a woman in long term gambling recovery and the Executive Director of Voices of Problem Gambling Recovery in Oregon. You can contact her at www.VPGR.net.
