“I don’t have lived experience of a gambling problem myself. But people I worked with would sometimes tell me the way I talked about gambling made them think I did.”


“Someone can understand exactly what gambling is doing to them and still go back and do it again.”
That gap between knowing and doing became the most interesting thing in the world to me.
Talk it through with me.
Thirty minutes with me. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
