"It's my hope that we can erase the stigma and shame around problem gambling so women will feel safe seeking the help they need without fear of judgement."

- Christina Cook, The Broke Girl Society

About Christina Cook

Welcome! I’m Christina and in recovery from gambling addiction. After struggling with a gambling disorder for 15 years, I finally hit rock bottom, which started my journey of recovery.

In the beginning I had a hard time connecting because there weren’t a lot of women talking in a space that consisted mostly of men. I craved a connection with other women who have walked the same road.

I created the The Broke Girl Society for women struggling with problem gambling to have a space where we feel safe to talk about our journey without fear of judgment. No matter where this addiction has taken us, we are all deserving and worthy of the hope and healing that recovery brings.

What Christina's community says about GamFin

There is still work to do, but my counselor is ready to guide me. I am so grateful for this service.

Max F

The counselor was beyond helpful, not only with financial advice but gambling-related advice. She pointed me in the right direction for finding a counselor to speak with about my addiction and how to get my finances in order permanently.

Sam W

Dr. Hampton's empathy, intelligence, and firmness were invaluable.

Emily N

I liked the ease of making a plan. When my head is spinning because of the numbers, I am calmed by Janice’s expertise.

GamFin helped me understand the steps I needed to take to fix tax issues when I didn’t know where to turn. The thought of dealing with overdue taxes felt overwhelming, but my counselor approached everything with understanding and without an ounce of shame. She guided me through the process step by step, making it manageable and helping me regain control. Thanks to her support and understanding, I’m back on track and finally feel a sense of relief and confidence moving forward.

Christina C

"I really like my financial counselor, Yvonne. I shared my financial background with her, and there was no judgement from her. She made me feel very comfortable and offered good suggestions. She seemed like she really cared. She even gave me advice on how to cut back my spending at restaurants and offered ideas on cheaper, healthier alternatives. I felt like she saw me as a whole person instead of just focusing on my finances."

George C

"I'm always worried about my son's gambling and financial problems, especially his credit score. GamFin has helped me understand that there is a way out of debt without getting scammed by loan consolidators and lenders. I feel 100% better now after talking with the financial counselor at GamFin. I'm confident they can help him make good decisions and give him some hope out of his financial mess."

Jackie T

"I just want to say THANK YOU for this recommendation. My state wasn’t listed but they work with people here! (New Mexico) It’s been incredible to confront and tell someone out loud about finances, and receive support to create a realistic plan to tackle debts … and in an encouraging and nonjudgmental manner."

Emma N

"I have had 3 sessions with Janice from GamFin and their service is so wonderful and has truly helped my anxiety so much, which is my biggest trigger. I look at my finances, get anxiety because I want to solve my issues now, and I gamble. She has really helped us break it down and curb our spending and helped me look at the broader picture."

Nick M

"I had my first appointment this morning. I had been looking for a resource to help with the financial situation I am in right now. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing."

Jake B

"I work with a GamFin counselor. I absolutely love him! He just got approval to continue counseling me. I use the Money Tracker he created for me once a week. I've always had a debt spreadsheet where I tracked my debt but I never tracked my spending. Nor have I ever had a budget. This Money Tracker captures everything. I look forward to our next meeting on Friday."
