About the episode
Australians are the biggest gamblers in the world, and nowhere do we lose more than on the pokies. Every year, it is estimated 400 people take their own lives due to distress over their gambling issues and a further 12,000 contemplate or attempt suicide. Here, Kate Seselja describes how she too despaired about the way pokies were impacting her life – and how not only overcame her addiction but has helped many others live their best lives as well.
