Ty is a student who has navigated both drug and gambling addiction, and her conclusion is startling: gambling was harder to overcome. In this episode, Ty shares how the dopamine hit from online pokies became more powerful than the drugs she had previously battled. She tells the story of how a casual $20 bet escalated into secretly depositing thousands from her life savings while lying next to her partner in the middle of the night.
