The Recovery Toolkit Podcast: Episode 33 - Craig Tampin: I Am Worthy, I Am Enough

In this powerful and honest episode of The Recovery Toolkit Podcast, Richie Paxton sits down with Craig Tampin, the newest member of the Recovery Coaching team at EPIC Restart Foundation.

 

Craig opens up about his journey through gambling addiction and how it took more than one go to truly find his path in recovery. Now four years in, Craig reflects on the difference between simply stopping and actually doing the hard work on himself – the kind that leads to real, lasting change.

 

From volunteering and fundraising to completely changing careers, Craig shares how he proved to himself that recovery was more than possible – it was life-changing. He talks about learning to protect his own energy, being more than his story, and why sharing his experience is helping him move forward while breaking the shame and stigma that surrounds gambling harm.

 

Craig also speaks about what it means to lead with purpose, support others in their own recovery, and be truly present in life. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” this episode is a reminder that change is possible, and that you are enough.
