WATCH – IT’S HARD TO CONTROL YOUR BRAIN –

SEPT. 23, 2021 – She’s a widow, who’s recently retired, and said the lack of things to do, led her to visiting the casinos.

Eventually, it turned into an addiction, leading Spohn to spend away her car, retirement, and even her husband’s life insurance.

“It was very devastating and very demoralizing, I felt very much, so much like a failure. And that led to basically thinking, there is no way out of this, other than suicide,” said Spohn.

At her lowest point, Spohn reached out to Maryhaven and was put in touch with Garner, who helped to get her life back on track.

Spohn is grateful, and hopes that others like her, won’t be afraid to ask for help.
