In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Daniel Coulter to discuss his 10 year battle with gambling addiction and the devastating impact it had on every aspect of his life. Daniel opens up about how gambling gradually took control, leading to lies, financial ruin, damaged relationships, and periods of suicidal thinking. He shares the reality of what addiction looks like behind closed doors, the effect it had on his family and loved ones, and why gambling can be one of the most misunderstood addictions in society.

We also explore the wider gambling industry, discussing regulation, advertising, marketing, and the growing gambling culture that is affecting households around the world.

Most importantly, Daniel details his recovery journey—the setbacks, false starts, and the steps that finally helped him break free. This is a story of destruction, resilience, and redemption. Today, Daniel uses his experience to help others through his business, Serenity Therapy, supporting people who are struggling with addiction, recovery and many other issues.

This episode is raw, emotional, and unfiltered. Whether you've experienced addiction yourself, know someone who has, or want to better understand the realities of gambling addiction, this conversation is essential listening.
