We have received so much positive feedback from this interview with our team member, Tony O'Reilly, on the brilliant 'Talking Bollox Podcast'.  Raising awareness in this way, gets more people seeking help and gets more people talking about gambling addiction and its causes - which helps to destigmatise the issue.  

You can listen to the audio version of the podcast here, or watch it on YouTube.  

While gambling addiction is often incorrectly viewed as a 'male problem', many women develop addictions to gambling.  We are proud to have had three inspirational women in recovery on The Problem Gambling Podcast, so far and would love to hear from more women who want to share their recovery stories.  

This short clip from our interview with Stacey Goodwin, hits the nail on the head, regarding one of the most common fallacies which drives gambling addiction - the dream that a 'big win' will solve everything.  

If you want to talk to someone in confidence, about your own issues with gambling, or a loved one's - or avail of our free counselling service, please fill out the Contact Form and we will arrange a call.
