Episode 5: David

After a childhood marred by bullying and other traumatic experiences, David* seeks the comfort and oblivion of alcohol and gambling. Decades of chaos follow, including homelessness, repeated rehabs and brushes with the law. But after finding the right counsellor at PGF and gaining insight into the effects of complex childhood trauma, a new chapter begins. David finally discovers a pathway to rebuild his life and his sense of worth – without gambling. This is a truly inspirational story of change. (* “David” is a pseudonym.)
