An estimated two million adults have a gambling disorder, that’s according to the National Council on Problem Gambling.

And studies show that as many as 7 percent of young people struggle with problem gambling.

This hour, we hear the story of a Connecticut man in recovery for his gambling addiction and learn about treatment.

With sports betting and online gambling now available in Connecticut, what will this mean for residents?

We want to hear from you.
