Gambling stories
"I actively ask anybody to consider when they are gambling to look at the deeper reasons, and not just the money. The reasons you're doing it is usually something else."
"When I found out that my partner had been gambling, a lot of the focus was on trying to find them support. It wasn't until much later that I realised that it did have a really big impact on me"
"I saw an advert on TV that offered £10 for free if you bet £10, and who says no to free money? Ultimately, that was the start of what led me to prison."
