“The Silent Addiction”
45-50 minute presentation, followed by 10-15 minute Q&A. Patrick will take the audience inside the secret life of a raging sports gambling addict. This is a very candid talk about the dark side of sports wagering and the many lives that are affected by it. Patrick’s talk will begin with his time as a college student-athlete, then wind through his 20’s & 30’s, when his life completely unraveled. He will cover the first 9 years of his marriage, ending up over a million dollars in debt and living a lie that his wife knew nothing about. Threats to his life, jail, all part of this powerful talk. Patrick will conclude his presentation with resources, tools, and signs to look for when it comes to gambling harm. Topics discussed: Suicide Addiction Mental Health
