That's why I love Paul Mersonl... He is totally honest and I love that .. Great Player Too....

Great interview this was. Paul’s a legend

Thank you

There are a lot of destructive addictions but I’ve often thought that gambling has to be the fastest way to the bottom. I fear for anyone who gets a buzz out of it. Not speaking from experience and I am no expert, just my thoughts having struggled with other issues.

@@theswingsquad I’ve heard it said the alcoholism is the most destructive drug overall… on health, on families, deaths…. because it’s not only accepted by society, it’s encouraged… as you have alluded to.

Let me tell you it is , I was brought up in an era when drinking was the thing and I loved it still do and I've made some poor decisions over the years because of it , but gambling lost my house , he's right you go through guilt but my losses still mount up .Any addiction is bad luckily I've never got into drugs but I doubt I'll stop still love a drink and God knows why still love a bet .

I almost fell foul of a gambling addiction when I lost almost every penny of the little money I had playing a roulette table and I had that moment of panic and need to lose the rest of what I had in an attempt to win back what I lost. Thru judgement or luck I stopped myself but the buzzes and lows, I felt that on a lesser scale for a moment and I do understand and feel what Paul is saying. 👍🏼

Thanks Paul as a cryonic alcoholic myself this such a help gorge best has did a video many years ago you should be a touch for addition

There is no addiction that is worse than another. Your alcohol may not effect my drugs addiction your drug addiction may not effect my gambling addiction. And all your addictions doesn't effect my depression...see And that's just a few . Mr Merson Is a true advocate; I truly believe he'll make a massive difference..such an empathetic great man . Love him to bits ❤...keep it up mers

Fantastic

George Best and Mersey are cut from the same cloth, genius but have problems off the pitch.

I said in your last video that I was disappointed with Paul regarding his thoughts on Matt Tissier BUT I have to say I totally respect him for this segment. He’s 100% right in valuing time more than money. I can’t remember 2015 and parts of 2016 so I know how much strength this would of taken him. A big shout out to his wife for sticking by him also ❤

paul is right

Another reason never to scare snd lockdown the people again. A sobering story

You are a weak human being. No empathy for others, no intelligence, no heart for other peoples struggling. A c*nt basically. Read up on addiction, relapse is often a part of it. I like the fact he is open, other people can learn from it. Doesn't matter if he gets paid for it a bit, I hope he can save others from the same faith. And that is the difference between me and you.

He's over exacteraitin he has a net worth off 13 million 😂😂😂 . He earned over a million a year in he's playing days and millions plus in punditry just stop with these bull crap interviews year still massive million airs try live in the average persons life with the price off fuel rent and shopping yeah wouldn't have a clue i wonder how much your getting for these interviews you can buy them a house from what you'll get 😂😂
