How are you getting on now mate? You must be coming up to 6 years gamble free. I was always interested in your story ever since hearing it on the invisible addiction podcast with Alex. It's very similar to mine and we are about the same age I think. Anyway I hope you and your family are doing well!

I day at a time brother !!!! Do what you need to do to say clean if it means posting everyday do it !!! God bless you

My life ruined by gambling addiction, too hard to beat , suicidal thoughts 🙏please pray for me and every one have a gambling addiction!🙏🙏🙏God please help us 🙏🙏🙏

I lost everything , just want to die 😢can I recover???

Are you still gamble free?

just to say your point was made well, even listening 2 years after . Hope you're well !

Hey, It was great to meet you tonight at the event mate, definitely get in touch and we can arrange an interview, you’d be more than welcome any time, thanks for helping to inspire others and well done for changing your life around 🙏

I am gambling addiction, after 24 years of gamble I lost everything and no hope , so shame and sad just want to end my life 😢😢, any one like me , hope not ,God bless all!

Great testimony and thanks so much for sharing your story. Best of luck with the daughter.

I gambled away aprox over 100k Euros. In huge debt now. But I’m not giving up.

One day at a time.

Been watching/rewatching some of your videos, I just wondered you admitted stealing money, did you ever pay it back? If you didn't maybe that is what is part of the guilt you feel and you could take steps to repay it.

Hi ive been gambling for 18 years i decided 3 weeks ago im being destroyed. Its so hard and gives me hope to see you 5 years down the line beating this addiction.At now the thought of 5 years seems impossible but one day at a time.Your amazing dont beat yourself up about the past you have turned it around your path forward is what matters.I just hope i can follow your footsteps. Looks like your inna lorry im a long distance lorry driver the large wages access to the service stations have destroyed me temptation everywhere everytime i have a break.keep doing what your doing keep posting believe me you vids are really making a difference thankyou x

I believe I was born an addict I use to stand on the street with marbles in my pocket at 8 o’clock in the morning, waiting for everybody to come out then up to the wall with money at age ov 10 the three card brag and betting shops and dog racing at 14 onwards the at alcoholic and drug addiction as well as gambling addiction for 30 more years I’m no 4 years sober and no gambling for about 2 years 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

You should be proud for sure. Just think how far you’ll have come when 10 years rolls up!

I am in tears while watching this video; I don't find your genuine display of emotions to be over the top--not in the least. I find it highly relatable, as I am also an emotional person, and the hardest part of this awful addiction for me has been dealing with the guilt I feel for doing what I've done; for lying and stealing from those I love the most, and for not being present for them. I have also struggled with forgiving myself, and have struggled with the forgiveness my husband and children have offered me, because I don't feel worthy of it. My last bet was November 27th. I've gotten this far several times recently, only to relapse, but it feels so different this time. I have more tools in place to prevent impulse bets, and I have been slowly learning to enjoy all the wonderful things life has to offer again. I am so blessed to have a supportive husband and children. Thank you for making these videos, you are helping more people than you will probably ever know.

I know exactly what you mean about being able to take compliments well and feel proud of yourself, I struggle massively with that too but I'm fucking proud of you mate. That night at the community centre seems like yesterday let alone 5 years. You've done amazing mate and you're an inspiration. Keep going one day at a time! 😊

I am so proud of you. I started watching your channel when you first launched it. I remember I left a comment complaining about the volume of the music you had in the background lol. I was so interested in you and your story and wanted to hear every part of it. Well done getting through another Xmas. Congratulations on this huge accomplishment!

Don’t underplay your achievement sir. Keep up the good work and keep spreading awareness!

Get in Keiren that amazing. I am nearly 15 month gamble free. I hope you had a lovely Xmas mate. Happy new year ❤

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, even though I'm sure it isn't easy to put yourself out there like you have. you will probably never know how many people you have helped by putting your story out there. I found your channel a few years ago, and have had a few relapses in between then and now. I was so happy to see your new video, and even happier once I watched it. It gives me hope seeing that you have been clean almost 5 years, and that you were able to resist giving in to the recent temptation. I know it can't be easy to put yourself out there with these videos, but by doing so you are inspiring me, and I am sure, many more who do not comment. <3

Your honestly is always inspiring mate. Keep going! 😊

Glad to see you back ❤

I know exactly how you feel pal ,me and my family lost our own house because I had to get my two girls out of there ,just unlucky had a nice house worked hard for it ,but had a beef with some retards a well known family round our way ,even known to an mp there was a family of gypos round the corner 6 brothers various ages ,the eldest one is and was a knife merchant and had been to prison for years ,for stabbing a couple of doormen anyway it started with the young ones ,hanging out in a church yard over the road from me fkn around smashing the place up ,making lots of noise and keeping my kids awake at night ,so I had a go at them over and over obviously it ended up with the eldest knife merchant ,getting involved threatened me with a knife a couple of times ,but the worst was I was taking my kids out for Xmas shopping ,guess what as I was getting kids in car he got a knife of a girl who was carrying it for him ,and started to walk my way I quickly got girls back in house ,grabbed an hammer and went out to smash the fkrs head in ,but he ran away also ran away when I spotted him about ,must of been brave on drugs anyway had house up for sale two years ,couldn't sell it this is 25 years ago ,so only way we could get away was to rent somewhere and rent our house to someone ,and that would pay our mortgage anyway what we didn't account for ,was the Tennant's bothering or listening to these Waring's and wouldn't pay rent ,apart from smashing the door in and smashing them ,there was nothing I could do obviously we should of put it through an estate agent ,thus rent gauranteed but we didn't so we lost the house re possessed,and it did my head in that much crazily enough ,got me back gambling when I'd stopped years before when my kids were coming ,that's how I got the 8 grand together to deposit and solicitors fees ECT ,so that incedent cost me my Mrs and kids not long after but now again since covid lockdown ,I managed to give it up I carried on the lifestyle with grandkids and daughters ,that presented themselves because bookies shut incredibly for around 14 months altogether,so instead of going in them havens of misery at weekends ,I started doing much more with family that's the key ,if your busy all week with work like me then your with family sat and Sunday till evening is the key , unfortunately I never had a chance when young hanging out with my builder dad ,who was alcoholic and got me age 16 to take his mates bets to put on obviously,without that I'd of never dreamed of going in a bookies ,I didn't know what they was but then after a while I tried it myself and won ,the start of years of misery beyond belief though I used to earn good money ,don't get me wrong without going on about shite ,around 15 yrs ago to 20 yrs you used to be able to win well I did ,but at times never used to bet on flat racing just jumps ,when they started in October back then and many many times through only going in Friday afternoons ,and only doing singles I've won 5,000 ,8,000, money like that up till around 10 yrs ago but that was backing 15 to 20 winners a day which believe it or not ,especially when night racing started you could win over the jumps ,putting 500 on fav at times and many more used to win back then ,and odds ons getting beat was rare and shocking ,these days I look at results strangely now and then just to remind myself ,how bent the game is there greed now knows no bounds shamefull disgusting rat riders and trainers ,jumping off them if they wasn't sposed to win and you know the score stopping them ,the fact being on top of covid lockdown though most of us gamblers have a screw loose ,we still have our memory that's why I say they decided punters ,would hardly ever win backing the first 3 in the betting as I used to to do ,I didn't always do favs more second favs used to win ,but you used to have a chance ,now no chance jumps is as bent as flat racing there's no difference,I'm telling this story replying to your story similar to mine ,and also for the sake of any other poor fkrs thinking of trying to stop being a loser ,do yourselves a favour ask family to help come out with it ,use someone else's bank account for your pay to go in ,then it's mostly out of reach is one of the best ways obviously as long as youv got someone close you can trust ,who's willing to help one of my daughters helped me also ,my money goes in her account and she just transfers what she knows I need ,when I need it so though I've been stopped over a year ,I still keep the safeguard to make sure no going back to the worst nightmare ,you can be in the worst of the worst vices you can have ,because of how much money you can and will do ,chasing losses and lying and losing items and freinds and everything good luck people .

Brilliant to see an update and so positive. Congrats. No looking back now, just focus on good things ahead mate. All the best.

Hi Keiren it seaside I am 28 weeks 5 days gamble free that 7 months better off. Life never been better off. I hope you ok and well.

Gamstop biggest joke ever…. Lost more money gambling since joining…..and lost my only hobby in life poker…. I thought it was about casinos not games of skill. Missed out on so much life opportunities as lost all my pker accounts

kieron thanks for the videos ❤

1st congratulations 2nd read your Bible a success book. Set scriptures to your plans 3rd listen to Brain Tracey and others Again congrats on 3years

Sorry to hear of your personal difficulties sir - wishing you and your wife all the best. Keep the content coming as it helps people.

Gamstop blocks all gambling sites except the national lottery

sincerely you think you are in control at the beginning, when you are winning, everything is great... but when the bad streak comes, it completely ruins you... forget about compulsive gambling high stakes, it's the worst

I thought I was doing well, then this last paycheck went down the drain in 5 minutes of it hitting my bank… :(

Difficult circumstances at the moment but I love watching all your videos. Always speak well and you're great to listen too with some extremely useful content. My advice to you is to try and replace the feeling of guilt with remorse, which is something I was told years back. All the best pal.

I’ll include your family in my prayers. You are so brave to share your story all in an effort to help others. I’m struggling to stay clean. 😢

I thought random and unexplained absences were MY thing! ;) Seriously though, very sorry to hear about your loss. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your absence , what you do is helping people but you have to put yourself first. Anyway, screw the TH-cam algorithm. Sadly (and I mean sadly), channels helping people with addiction will NEVER reach or engage the same number of people as those which exacerbate gambling problems. Keep doing what you're doing, upload when you have something to say and take care of yourself and your wife. Wishing you all the best mate - Phil P.S - Good luck with the job

Grateful to find your channel at a very low point 🙏 find some hope in your story man, congratulations on the birth of your child.. what a reward for never giving up ❤️

Great video, where are you boys from you sound local

Your a good man, I needed this

So happy I've come across your channel mate... Been struggling for a while now. You spoke about a lot of characteristics I show. Trying to beat this addiction but it's hard. Want to thank you though for speaking out about your battles mate.. Listening to you is helping me understand alot about myself. Stay strong my brother and hope you are well

dont mean to be a dampener or nothing but three years u been running this channel and u only hv 300 subs

Glad your channel is still going mate.

When you get into the long run, gambling doesn’t exist. If you play at a 5% disadvantage, you will lose exactly 5% of your total bets. And it’s not just you, it’s everyone who plays. It makes no difference what betting strategy you use, the result will be the same. It’s an absolute mathematical certainty that all who play will lose at a rate of whatever the house advantage is. So if you ever think about playing again, you know ahead of time what the outcome will be.

Many congratulations! I needed to hear there is hope....

That’s amazing. Well done, mate. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2022.

I did 3.90 pound in on Christmas Eve
