At 16 years old, Tony Kelly took a step towards his childhood dream when he was signed to Bristol City as an apprentice footballer. By the time he was 22 he was a fully-fledged professional, scoring winning goals against Liverpool FC. What happened along the way, was to eventually leave Tony bankrupt and homeless.
In this episode, Tony shines a light on his struggle with gambling, how he found his way back to himself, and the work he does now to support others, by setting up Red Card Gambling.
He credits family, faith, and counselling, as fundamental parts of his recovery process.
Tony wrote to me after we spoke, "Let's go with, 'Owning Your Addiction. That's the best way to recover, in my opinion; acceptance and ownership."
