Another one that is likely to divide opinions but I wanted to respond to a comment I received that said: " I get that u shouldn't smash them up but what I mean is maybe him smashing it up saved is life that day instead of walking home and killing his self and the women that was behind the counter I don't feel sorry for her I don't feel sorry for any one that works at these places as they are helping the bookies by working there plus I've seen these workers laugh at people as once they have lost all there money bookies are a drug if I sold drugs and had some one working for me then they end up getting scared cose some thing happens should u feel sorry for him"
Which got me thinking. SHOULD we feel sorry for gambling addicts or is it their own fault. Well, it's not that simple and, in this video, I give me opinions.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks for watching, my name's Phil and I'm a former gambling addict. I make videos to share my experiences of gambling and talk about my recovery, abstinence and the challenges of quitting gambling. I also tend to ramble on about anything else that comes to mind and take great pleasure in dispelling some of the most common myths around gambling.
If you found this video interesting then check out the channel and consider subscribing (it would mean a lot). If you are struggling with a gambling problem then hopefully my videos will help but I strongly recommend getting some proper help from the guys below (I'm no expert, just someone who has 'been there, done that and got the t-shirt...(no) merch link in bio'.
