So Nigerian
How Gambling Addiction Nearly Destroyed Me Ft Idris Abdulkareem
We’re joined by Idris Abdulkareem, a listener of the podcast, who opens up about his journey as an ex-gambling addict now 6 months clean. With courage and vulnerability, Idris shares how his relationship with gambling started, how it slowly escalated, and how it eventually took over his life.
He speaks candidly about losing everything, battling suicidal thoughts, and reaching a breaking point that forced him to confront the reality of his situation. The conversation walks through the darkest moments of addiction, the isolation that comes with it, and the difficult but life-changing decision to quit.
More than anything, this episode is about accountability, recovery, and hope. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can spiral, but also how choosing help, honesty, and change can begin a new chapter.
This is a powerful, sobering, and necessary conversation — one that may resonate deeply with anyone who has struggled, is struggling, or knows someone who is.
