#108. Talksport Star on my Gambling Addiction - Matt Smith

Matt Smith had a dream job at Talksport, traveling the globe and witnessing every major sporting event.  He had a nice car, a good wage, and a promising future. But he lost it all as a crippling gambling addiction took hold, consuming his life, and leaving him penniless. It’s Safer Gambling Week, and now that he’s on a better path, Matt wanted to come in to share his cautionary tale of begging, borrowing and stealing to feed his addiction.
