L.E.A.P: Lived Experience, Education, Awareness, Purpose

De: Colin Brown

Narrado por: Colin Brown

This book is an autobiography. A journey of a boy who started playing a game with his fortune, but almost ended up playing with his life. This boy, this man, this veteran is Colin Brown.

In this book, Colin Brown shares his true story, a personal account of gambling addiction, loss of control, and the long, difficult journey toward recovery.

Written from lived experience, this book does not romanticize struggle or offer easy answers. Instead, it documents what addiction actually looks like from the inside. How easy it is to lose control of everything. It is not about winning money. It is about the dopamine of winning, the constant need for validation that comes with it, which slowly turns into a relentless struggle, an addiction far worse than most people realize.

Gambling addiction remains one of the most overlooked and misunderstood addictions in the UK. With no physical signs and little public awareness, it often goes unnoticed until the damage is irreversible. Families, finances, and identities are destroyed quietly, while the system that profits from it continues to grow unchecked.
