Declan Cregan: Gambling 'took over my life

Belfast man Declan Cregan, who gambled for 11 years, says he couldn't have gone through a single day without placing a bet.

He says he reached rock bottom when he lost £8,000 in one day.

Now a teaching assistant, Declan says he still has many dark days but that his life is so much better since he stopped gambling three years ago.
