Why I was gambling was very different at that point to why I started.

And I think that's one of the things that people need to realize, just like people's relationship with things like alcohol change, because certain things happen in your life.

But I was like, well, it's gambling, so I'll just stop when I need to.

Very different.

So I got a job in the city.

So I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life if it wasn't playing sport.

So I followed the crowd.

I moved to London because that's what everybody else at Durham was doing.

I got a job in finance.

I worked for an insurance broker.

Didn't really know anything about insurance.

Wasn't necessarily interested in it.

But it was an opportunity to be in London and

It was a good salary.

And I started doing that.

I didn't really enjoy the job to tell the truth, but I enjoyed everything that came with it.

I live with four of my mates in Southwest London.

We all got paid pretty healthy salaries for our age.

But I guess my problem, unlike the others, was I couldn't manage my money.

I couldn't resist all the temptations that were around me, the freedom that I now had.
