Gambling addiction can exist completely hidden behind work, marriage, children and everyday family life. Matt Casburn's gambling started with small football accumulators before online betting turned it into something completely different - in-play gambling, thousands of pounds in bets, loans, debt, bookmaker VIP treatment and an obsession with winning back everything he'd lost.
In this episode of The Addicted Recovery Show, Matt tells me how gambling consumed his savings, how he took out huge loans, gambled money meant for improvements to his family's home and eventually broke down in front of his wife and their builder when there was nowhere left to hide. We talk about Gamblers Anonymous, rebuilding trust, becoming present again as a father, paying off the damage and why almost eight years into recovery he now uses his experience to help other people struggling with gambling addiction.

Does being called Matt lend itself to being a big gambler ?
We have the Matt Williams thread today. followed by this Matt who lost everything and then we have the ubiquitous Matt Zarb-Cousin who also couldn't curb his addiction and is now an activist and anti gambling campaigner. |
