Recovery capital

Recovery language

Definition

The total resources a person can draw on to get and stay well: money, housing, a job, family, health, community, and their own skills and beliefs. It explains why two people with identical gambling histories have very different outcomes, and why gambling debt is so corrosive — it directly drains the capital recovery runs on.

Preferred phrasing

safe to use as written.
