Recorded back in August this, James recounts the story of the gambling addiction that ultimately led him to financial destitution, mental health deterioration and a suicide attempt. As you can imagine the chat gets very dark at times and there's some black humour used at points to try and lighten the mood, mostly unsuccessfully. The story does have a happy ending though as James managed to pull himself out with the help of Gamblers Anonymous and the support of strong people around him. If you, or anyone you know, is facing issues then please check out https://gascotland.org/ for more information or drop James a message.
