My guest, Patrick Chester is a 51 years old husband, and father of two boys. Patrick spent 15 years living in the darkness that is gambling addiction. Patrick is a graduate of the University of Washington, who eventually went on to work for himself as a general contractor.    Patrick spent many years building a solid reputation, and was widely respected as a business owner and professional. He threw it all away as his sports gambling addiction took over his life. Everything took a back seat to his gambling addiction, including his own family. Patrick ended up over a million dollars in debt, suicidal, and ultimately sent off to jail for the crimes he committed to feed his addiction.    Patrick left jail in June of 2015 and has devoted his life ever since, to those that suffer in their own addiction.

Ep 077: One topic that we know we wanted to discuss on our show is gambling and retirement in the State of Maine. So far, we have two retail casinos in Maine, one in Oxford and one in Bangor. Also, sports betting is getting closer and closer to becoming available in the Pine Tree State. With some cold harsh winters in Maine and a lack of entertainment options, there could be some potential for us to get a bit carried away with participating in retail and sports gambling. But how do we know if we're developing an addiction that we can't control? How much is too much? This can be especially problematic for retirees that feel like they have money to gamble but might be living beyond their means to allow for their funds to last for the entirety of their retirements. That's what this show is about! Our next guest is a graduate of the University of Washington and eventually went on to work for himself as a general contractor.  He built a solid reputation for years and was widely respected as a business owner and professional. What people didn't know is that he also spent 15 years as a raging gambling addict, lost millions, and nearly destroyed his family. Our guest is a TEDx speaker currently presenting to college student-athletes across the country, and he's been fortunate enough to guest on over 200 podcasts worldwide. With that, please welcome Patrick Chester to The Retirement Success in Maine Podcast! Chapters: Welcome, Patrick Chester! [3:11] What are the signs of a gambling problem versus recreational gambling? [16:13] What are the major risks with problem gambling and who is more likely to develop a compulsive gambling issue? [22:27] What is the best way for us to help a loved one suffering from a gambling addiction? Is there a “right way” to help? [30:36] How will Patrick find his personal Retirement Success? [43:03] Ben and Curtis conclude the conversation. [46:11]

Tune in to gain strategies on how to manage your time.Our inspirational guest, Patrick Chester, talks about his 15-year-long addiction with gambling. Patrick's struggle led him to lie to his business partners, family, and wife. As he continued to spiral downwards, he ended up spending time in rehab and jail. Listen to hear how Patrick's family inspired him to become truthful with himself and those he had hurt in order to begin his journey to recovery.Our last caller, Shwe, wants guidance on how to get work experience before her MBA program, which starts in 2 months.

Live full out by being courageous and having those tough conversations.

Our next guest is Patrick Chester! He spent 15 years as a raging gambling addict, lost millions and destroyed his family. Patrick resorted to criminal acts to feed his addiction and ultimately ended up in jail. He's now 5 years free of that monster and has a new purpose in life. Patrick spent many years taking from people to feed his sickness, now he's giving back and it's an amazing thing! In episode number 205 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how Patrick's gambling addiction started, what was his rock bottom, how he was able to keep his gambling addiction a secret for so long, whether he ever thought about suicide, how his wife and family found out about his addiction, if he went to treatment for his addiction, what he's doing now to help others with gambling addiction, and why there is so much stigma surrounding addictions like gambling.

A recent study in the U.S. has shown that nearly 10 million Americans struggle with compulsive gambling every year. While it may not have physical effects like drug abuse or other addictions, it's still something that can damage your relationships, finances, and life.  Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked!

Eventually, leaving Patrick with no job, a marriage on the rocks, and sitting in jail.  Listen in as Patrick opens up about the moment he hit rock bottom, as well as how he found the strength and hope to continue living in recovery. The day he stepped out of jail was the first day he experienced freedom, not just in the physical, but from the overwhelming monster that a gambling addiction brings. You'll hear the best steps to begin the process of recovery, the support system you can find no matter where you are, and what life looks like free of addiction.  This story is sure to bring you to the edge of your seat as you listen to Patrick's struggle and eventual victory over addiction.

Today's Episode “Shambles: The Patrick Chester Story” is a story about the evolution of addiction, specifically sports betting. Patrick Chester is an author and speaker on the subject of gambling addition. A former addict himself, he now lives in Washington State with his wife Erica and his two sons. If you take a group of people playing slot machines or cards, or backing a horse or football team, some won't be affected at all, a couple may develop a mild gambling habit whilst one may end up with a with a severe problem. It's hard to say what the trigger is, as its different for each person but Patrick traces his trigger back to when he was young.  His father took him and his sister to parties where people were gambling and drinking and having a great time. Patrick didn't recognise the dangers of gambling because he had grown up seeing it as fun and harmless, something you could do as a family. Before he knew it though, it had taken over his life.Take a listen and enjoy. Patreon link: https://www.patreon.com/WorldofWalley World of Walley is nothing without YOU the listener and YOUR support.

The Ninth and Final episode in a 9-part series on some of the most mis-interpreted verses in the Bible. Mark 7:24-28, “24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter. 27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs.” 28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.””   --------------- Episode Summary/For Further ExplorationJohn's 4 Rules for Biblical Interpretation: How does what you're reading apply to the Life of Jesus or the Life of the Author?

If you take a group of people playing slot machines or cards, backing a horse or a football team, some won't be affected at all, a couple may develop a mild gambling habit whilst one may end up with a with a severe problem. It's hard to say what the trigger is as its different for each person but there is a point when things change and it goes from being fun to being the solution to the problem - the only way to recover the money that's been lost and pay back the debts is to gamble more. Patrick Chester ended up in jail because of his gambling addiction but now, six years later he is living a life of recovery and trying to help other people recognise what it is, what the dangers and trying to help people already suffering from it.    

Repetitive compulsive behavior's is our topic today. Some disorders are classified as impulse control disorder while some have their own classification such as eating disorders. Just so we don't confuse impulse-control disorders with obsessive compulsive disorders, I want to explain the different definitions. Impulse-control disorder is unable to resist an impulse that is harmful to the person involved in the behavior or others but started out as pleasurable. Also, there may be a rising sense of tension or arousal before committing the act, followed by gratification, pleasure, and then guilt over the consequences of the behavior.Obsessive-compulsive disorder is engaging in a repetitive activity not for pleasure but to reduce anxiety caused by obsessive thoughts.
