I Was 14 When I Placed My First Bet

I’ve spent around 40 years working in television and radio: presenting sport, hosting programs, interviewing thousands of people. If you’d watched me do those things, you’d have thought “there’s a bloke who’s got it all together.” But behind the cameras, gambling was taking everything. It took my money, my marriage, my dignity, and very nearly my life. For 45 years, the horses, the harness racing and the greyhounds ran my life, and I hid it from almost everyone.

Eventually I realised it wasn’t a lack of willpower. Gambling is an addiction, and breaking it is a skill you can learn. In Break Free From Gambling, I’ll show you the exact steps that finally got me free, so you can stop for good too.

How to Stop Gambling When Willpower Hasn't Worked

If you've searched "how to stop gambling" at two in the morning after another loss, you're not alone. I did the same, more times than I can count. For 45 years, the horses, the harness racing and the greyhounds had a grip on me that no promise could break.

What I learned the hard way is that gambling addiction isn't a character flaw or a lack of willpower. It's a cycle: a trigger, an urge, a bet, the shame afterwards, and then the next trigger. Breaking free means interrupting that cycle at every point. You learn your triggers, ride out urges until they pass, change the thinking that keeps you chasing losses, and fill the space gambling leaves with something better.

That's exactly what Break Free From Gambling walks you through, one practical step at a time. It works whether your problem is the races, sports betting, pokies or online casinos, because it works on the urge itself, not the type of bet.

This Free Training Is For You If You’ve Tried to Stop Before and Gone Back

If you’ve ever promised yourself “no more” and then found yourself checking the form guide the next day, wondering why you can’t stop when you know what it’s costing you, this free training is for you. I’ll show you why breaking free from a gambling addiction isn’t about more willpower or trying harder. You’ll find a different way to think about the urge to bet, and I’ll give you one simple technique you can use the very next time the urge hits. It’s the first step in learning how to stop gambling for good.
