What happens when a gambling addiction takes everything from you?

In this episode, Jacques Wijtman opens up about the years he spent trapped in gambling addiction, the lies, the fraud, the people he hurt, and the five days in jail that ultimately saved his life.

He shares how gambling became his “career”, how rock bottom changed him, and why recovery is about more than just stopping the behaviour. It is about facing the real pain underneath it.

This is a raw conversation about addiction, shame, suicide, forgiveness, second chances, and what it really takes to rebuild your life.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please reach out for help. You are not alone.
