I am not an expert or a therapist. I have lived it.
With nearly 14 years in recovery through Gamblers Anonymous, my work is rooted in real experience, not theory. I speak openly about the realities of gambling addiction, the parts most people do not see until it is too late, and what it truly takes to rebuild a life.
Today I am a speaker, podcast host and advocate focused on prevention, awareness and long-term recovery.
I host Gambling Recovery: Taking Back Your Life, a platform for honest, unfiltered conversations about addiction, recovery, and the impact it has not just on individuals but on families, spouses and communities. While the podcast is not affiliated with Gamblers Anonymous, it reflects the same core principles that shaped my recovery: honesty, accountability, humility and service.
My focus is prevention and what is possible. Most people are not educated on the warning signs of gambling addiction until after the damage is already done.
I work to change that by bringing attention to the normalisation of gambling within families, early exposure and how it shapes long-term behaviour, the illusion of control tied to tracking money, and the lack of meaningful prevention education.
Through speaking engagements, workshops and community outreach, I challenge people to have the conversations they often avoid but need to hear. Because prevention is not always comfortable, but it is necessary.
Recovery is possible. But prevention starts with truth.
