Professional boxer from Liverpool, Nathan Quarless joined us on todays show to discuss how gambling has affected his life and how he's come to fight back against it and take control of his life. Nathan is now talking out about his experiences to help lead the way for others and to show them that there is light at the end of the tunnel. It all started when he was 17 and Nathan tells his story how his addiction was spiralling out of control until he had to seek help and tell his family about what was happening. He got himself the help and support he needed by going to his doctors, gamble aware and using gamstop to ban himself from all betting shops. His road to recovery wasn't without a re lapse but as Nathan says " There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and if you relapse fine, pick yourself up and go again". Nathan is now a founder partner of Gambling Harms Alliance and he now uses his experiences to help raise awareness and to help people who are going through the battles he previously has.
