Patrick Foster is a former professional cricketer, insurance broker and school teacher whose life was shattered by a pathological gambling addiction that brought him to the verge of taking his own life in March 2018.
Now over three years into recovery, Patrick is the Director of Educational Programmes for EPIC Risk Management, a leading independent gambling harm-minimisation consultancy in the UK and Ireland, specialising in the identification and prevention of problematic gambling. Using his experience, he works with schools, companies and individuals, young and old, raising awareness of the dangers of gambling and gaming. By sharing his own story, he hopes to help others identify if they, or someone around them, are experiencing addiction and inspire them to reach out for help.
Patrick is an Ambassador for the Mintridge Foundation, a registered charity dedicated to enhancing life skills in young people through sport, building resilience and confidence through sport, and creating awareness of the importance of mental and physical wellbeing.
He is the author of Might Bite, his brutally honest account of over a decade of pathological gambling addiction to recovery and beyond.
