Erica and Patrick Chester - Moving on from gambling addiction.
Erica and Patrick Chester married in 2006 and their first child was born in 2009. All the pieces seemed to be in place for a young family hoping to realise their dreams but those dreams would face a major setback as Patrick was living a secret life as a gambling addict.
While Erica believed in her husband, Patrick was sabotaging their dreams. He kept his addiction a secret from the time they got married, until 2015 when he entered treatment before going to jail six weeks later. He left behind a broken marriage and a lost little boy.
After the shame, guilt, and broken relationships, Patrick has rebuilt his life and he and Erica are an amazing testament to recovery, and never giving up on what’s most important in life, family. Now they live in Washington State with their two sons where Patrick is an author and speaker on the subject of gambling addition.
