Welcome to Lifeline\u2019s Holding onto Hope, a podcast in which people who\u2019ve attempted suicide explain how they found joy in life again.
Australians are the biggest gamblers \u2013 and the biggest losers in the world and nowhere do we lose more than on the pokies. Every year, it is estimated 400 people commit suicide 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 wrecking her life \u2013 and how not only overcame her addiction but has helped many others live their best lives as well.
