What started as entertainment slowly became a way to escape stress, grief, and financial fear. After draining his accounts, taking cash advances, and chasing losses at the casino, Will finally found recovery through treatment, Gamblers Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the support of people who understood what he was going through.
