In a candid interview with Zionfelix posted on Instagram, part-time teacher and digital satellite installer, Joshua Adu Guni, has opened up about his struggles with betting addiction, seeking help and support to overcome his habit.
Guni revealed that his addiction began in 2019 while he was in school and deepened in 2020 when a friend introduced him to roulette at a casino. He shared how he lost GHC7,000.00 belonging to his uncle through betting, which was meant for his father’s medical expenses.
The 29-year-old explained that he had been working with his uncle at Kasoa and was entrusted with selling plumbing materials. However, he resorted to betting with the money when his uncle was unavailable to collect it, leading to a downward spiral of financial ruin.
Guni is now seeking support to undergo rehabilitation to overcome his addiction. He has appealed to the public for help, hoping to raise funds for his treatment and start anew.
His story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of betting addiction and the importance of seeking help when needed.
