Sean Corcoran is a poet and recovering gambling addict who uses his voice on Substack to help others find their path to recovery.
In this conversation, Sean tells me how gambling hijacked his brain, his struggle to come clean to his friends and family, the long journey to recovery, discovering he has ADHD and how that interfered with his gambling, using poetry to express himself and heal, and a lot more.
Compulsive gambling affects more men than women, at a rate of 2 to 1, and it has been growing among teenagers and young adults. If you’ve noticed that the urge to gamble has been negatively impacting your life, inspiring anxious and/or depressive thoughts, causing you to spend all of your money or even borrow money to continue gambling, don’t hesitate to seek help.
