Summary

SummaryI spiraled into a 13-year gambling addiction, chasing the thrill of poker and numbing grief over my grandfather and motherโ€™s deaths ๐ŸŽฒ๐Ÿ’”. Pregnant at 21 and overwhelmed, I leaned on escapismโ€”blackjack, slots, and late nights at the casinoโ€”while neglecting my dreams and my child. God gently pursued me: first through a Jehovahโ€™s Witness study, then with a โ€˜tree of lifeโ€™ sermon that stopped me in my tracks ๐ŸŒณโœจ. My rock bottom came when Iโ€™d lost everything Iโ€™d built, praying only for a win. In Gamblers Anonymous, I learned the Serenity Prayer and began genuine prayer and meditationโ€”talking and listening to God ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ. Coaching added self-reflection tools, helping me align my values and embrace community over corporate profit. Today, I host Ambitious Addicts, guiding others from the depths of addiction to faith-filled hope ๐ŸŒŸ. God restored my mind, my finances, and my purposeโ€”He can do the same for you!

In the midst of a gambling addiction, Terra Carbert went on a journey of discovery and found faith in Jesus was the answer to peace in her life.
