The Hidden Addiction
Like alcohol and substance abuse, a gambling disorder does not discriminate, affecting persons from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Problem and compulsive gambling is often referred to as a “hidden addiction”, because suffering persons frequently appear normal on the outside. This disease affects a person’s self-worth, relationships, financial livelihood, and so much more.
In this TEDx Talk, you'll hear the shocking story of how a free ÂŁ5 bet led to a full-blown addiction for Justyn Rees Larcombe.
Justyn had it all: a highly successful fast-track career, a beautiful wife, and three sons. After losing everything to a relentless online gambling addiction, he is now campaigning for education and legal changes.
Listen as he shares his journey from losing his job, family, and home, to finding hope and restoration, offering wisdom for anyone struggling with secret habits and compulsions.
