🤝 How I Quit Gambling:    • HOW TO STOP GAMBLING: A Complete Guide  

Sean's Bio: In 2022, Sean sat and cried in his gambling Counsellor's room after she asked if he thought he would ever get Abstinant. After 8 years of gambling, his disbelief in his ability to get "clean" was so strong that it almost cost him his lifetwice. It cost him all the money he had ever made - and more - and deeply affected his Christian faith and friendships.
Now, Sean attends a local G.A. meeting, meets weekly with his sponsor to work through the 12 steps, and in his spare time writes poetry for instagram where he tries to understand his past and hope for his future; all whilst only living in today.
