Anthony started gambling at 13. By his 20s, he was buried in six-figure debt. ๐Ÿค How I Quit Gambling: https://youtu.be/NurCWVRYVEY?si=zzmegEOfNIxqmomg ๐Ÿ™Œ Gamban is a gambling-blocking app designed to create real friction between you and online gambling. Gamban blocks access to thousands of gambling websites and apps across your devices, helping remove the instant access that can make urges so dangerous in early recovery. Recovery is about building barriers before the urge hits, and Gamban can help make gambling harder to reach when you need that protection most. You can learn more at https://gamban.com One clip sourced from our friend @NothingsOffTheTable Anthony's gambling addiction began with poker and sports betting when he was only 12 or 13 years old. Within a few years, he was betting with bookies, gambling on credit, chasing losses, lying to his family and eventually accumulating multiple six figures of debt. Anthony shares how sports betting took over his life, why winning never solved his gambling problem, the family ultimatum that finally forced him to confront his addiction, and how Gamblers Anonymous helped him begin rebuilding his life.
