Children often pick up habits from the adults around them, including attitudes towards gambling.

When you avoid gambling in front of your child and involve them in age-appropriate activities, you can help shape healthier habits from a young age.

What started as football betting became a cycle Mr T couldn't walk away from. When the impact on his family became impossible to ignore, he found the courage to seek help and begin recovery.

Today, he's spending his time differently, with the people who matter most. His story is a reminder that it’s never too late to turn things around.

This story was shared with the support of our partner One Hope Centre, which provides counselling services for those recovering from gambling addiction.

If you or someone you know needs help, reach out to the NCPG helpline 1800-6-668-668 or webchat www.ncpg.org.sg.
