Abstract:	This study focuses on mothers and childless women who recover from gambling disorder (GD) in the context of risk society. Mothers in 'risk society' tend to be aware of their choices that might affect their children's future. Mothers with GD suffer from dual social stigma as gamblers and as women who risk their children. The recovery capital (RC) toolkit is comprised of internal and external resources (positive RC) and barriers (negative RC) enacted in recovery and treatment by the individual. This longitudinal study: a) compared the RC toolkit that mothers vs. childless women have, and its effects on these women's dropout and relapse rates; b) explored the resources and barriers that predict dropout and relapse in each group. Analysis of clinical data obtained from 211 women with GD (N=146 mothers) who received cognitive-behavioral therapy for 16 weeks in Spain. Mothers reported lower levels of education and were from more disadvantaged socioeconomic groups, were older, and had later age at onset of gambling-related problems. Mothers had significantly lower relapse rates, but not lower dropout rates. There were more personal predictors for dropout among childless women, whereas low levels of family support and the absence of gambling debts predicted dropout in the mothers' group. These findings were interpreted by combination of two concepts: the risk society and recovery capital in action. Therapists and policymakers should be aware of the differences in RC toolkits between women with and without children and its interplay with the context of motherhood as defined by the notions of risk society vs. childfree lifestyles.
