🚨NEW DATE — LETCHER COUNTY TOWN HALL RESCHEDULED!🚨

🎰 Recognizing the signs of problem gambling
📱 The growing accessibility of online betting
🔄 The connection between substance use and gambling addiction
🤝 How families and communities can respond
💛 Resources available throughout Kentucky

The discussion will be led by Kimberly Hinkel-Browning, MSSW, and is open to anyone who wants to learn, support a loved one, or become part of the solution.

Our good friends at Teach To Transform need some volunteers!

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

Teach to Transform has a new office space in the heart of Louisville’s international community!

This is more than just an office, it’s a place where we’ll continue equipping leaders and serving our neighbors both locally and around the world.

Before we move in, we need a little help! If you’re local and would be willing to donate your time to patch a few holes and paint a couple of rooms, we’d be so grateful for your support.

If you’re interested, please send us a message or email [email protected].

Thank you for helping us create a welcoming space to pack for trips, train leaders, and meet together. We can’t wait to share more with you soon!

🎰 YOU DIDN’T GET SOBER JUST TO LET A SPORTSBOOK ROB YOU IN YOUR PAJAMAS.

You’re finally getting your feet back under you after treatment.

Your bills are getting paid.
Your relationships are healing.
Your life is starting to feel manageable again.

Then your phone whispers:

📱 “Hey… wanna turn $10 into $10,000?”

And suddenly you’re betting on a third-string quarterback, a Lithuanian basketball game, and whether somebody scores in the next 47 seconds.

Let’s be honest: “Get rich quick” usually becomes “Get broke surprisingly fast.”

Online gambling is dangerous because the casino doesn’t even require pants anymore. It’s open 24/7, accepts debit cards, and follows you into the bathroom.

What starts as “just a little fun” can quickly become:

💸 Chasing losses
🤥 Hiding transactions
😬 Borrowing money
📱 Refreshing an app like it owes you an apology
🧠 Waking up the same addictive thinking you worked so hard to quiet

That first win isn’t proof you’re a gambling genius.

It’s the free sample.

You’ve worked too hard rebuilding your life to risk your rent money because a cartoon treasure chest started flashing.

Protect your money.
Protect your peace.
Protect your recovery.

🎲 The house always wins—but it doesn’t have to win against you.

🛟 Your recovery is worth more than the next bet.

Whether you’re worried about your own gambling or someone you love, SOS for Addictions can connect you with support, information, and resources—without judgment.

If you or your loved one is struggling with an addiction, here you’ll find a variety of ways to seek help, including support groups and inpatient/outpatient care, located in one place.
