Colin Brown is the founder of Gambling LEAP, which stands for Lived Experience, Education, Awareness and Prevention.
Colin lived with gambling addiction for over 25 years, eventually finding the strength and resolve to turn things around, but not before a number of intense challenges and setbacks throughout his life.
He now hopes to use his experience and relative success in managing his addiction, to serve as a help and signpost for anyone currently going through the same experience.
In this episode, Colin explains how addiction crept in and how it manifests itself in every facet of life, work and relationships… We discuss the predatory nature of the gambling industry itself, and how football and entertainment are complicit in its destruction And Colin offers his insight into tackling gambling addiction, both for those suffering with the affliction, and also for those close to gambling addicts.
