34. Tracey's Story - "I began taking money when menopause started"

Recovery isn’t just about reaching one year, five years or a big anniversary. Sometimes the most important milestones are the ones nobody else sees. Tracey joins Hold or Fold to talk honestly about her recovery journey, from the devastating consequences of her gambling addiction to the moment she had to face the reality of stealing £70,000 from her workplace. She also reflects on guilt, shame, self-forgiveness, taking ownership and the importance of connection. It’s a powerful conversation about how recovery evolves over time, and why every step forward deserves to be recognised.
