Paul's Gamble: From High Stakes to Healing
“It was like insanity from the word, from the first bet I made.”
Imagine being consumed by the thrill of gambling from a young age. That’s Paul’s story. He started out playing poker and flipping baseball cards, always chasing the next big win. By the age of twelve, he was already working in a bowling alley, not for the job itself, but for the chance to watch men play poker afterward.
