I’m delighted to announce that the second guest in Series 3 of The Invisible Addiction Podcast is Gamtalk founder Paul Pettigrew.
In the Podcast Paul shares his gambling addiction story.
I wanted to explore the relationship between football and gambling. (Paul used to play for Greenock Morton FC).
Did being released as a footballer lead him to gamble?
What impact did his addiction have on his life?
What advice and tips does he have for people experiencing gambling problems?
Paul has a harrowing story, one of despair, but also one of hope and inspiration.
It’s an amazing journey to hear, and it’s a Podcast I’ve been hugely excited to share with you!
Here's a rough breakdown of the conversation:
00:00 Introductions and learning more about Paul’s footballing journey
13:50 How did he start gambling?
23:10 How did his gambling progress into an addiction?
29:40 How bad were his gambling debts?
46:44 How did Paul get help for his gambling?
55:45 How did Gamtalk come about?

As mentioned in the Podcast, the BBC Three documentary about homelessness in Manchester is called 'Britain's Forgotten Men'. Well worth a watch on YouTube!
