About TJ: TJ is a human trafficking survivor, who describes her problem gambling as a means of coping with lifelong traumas. She uses “harm reduction” which she discusses with the ODAAT podcast, as someone diagnosed with Borderline Personality and PTSD who’s actively working on improving her quality of her life day by day. You can find her on TikTok https://tiktok.com/@djtjkeefer or you can email tabbythefreelancer@gmail.com to connect for networking purposes TJ placed her last bet yesterday.
TJ opens up about the deeper reasons she was drawn to video lottery terminals, how quickly the habit escalated, and what she hopes life looks like a year from now. One of the most important parts of this conversation is that gambling harm is not just about losing everything financially. You can still have a job, a house, goals, school plans, and a future ahead of you and still be struggling badly with gambling. This channel is dedicated to spreading awareness about gambling addiction and helping individuals better understand the risks of excessive gambling. Through powerful storytelling, educational content, and real-life experiences, we aim to shine a light on the dangers of gambling and provide tools for recovery. Whether you're seeking help, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to learn more, our mission is to create a safe space for open conversations about gambling addiction.
