Addiction is a topic that is under discussed with plenty of stigmas. Gambling addiction is even less discussed.

On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, Patrick Chester and I dive deep into this much needed discussion.

Patrick Chester is a 50 year old father of two boys and husband. He spent 15 years living in the darkness that is gambling addiction.

Patrick spent many years building a solid reputation, and was widely respected as a business owner and professional. He threw it all away as his sports gambling addiction took over his life. Everything took a back seat to his gambling addiction, including his own family. He ended up over a million dollars in debt, suicidal, and ultimately sent off to jail for the crimes he committed to feed his addiction.

Patrick left jail in June of 2015 and has devoted his life ever since, to those that suffer in their addiction. Gambling addiction lives in the shadows and it's hard to recognize, Patrick’s hope is to raise awareness and educate people about the dangers and warning signs of this addiction.
