Out of Control: How My Addiction Almost Killed Me

Product Information

I paid the first three months of the car loan, but the repayments stopped as soon as the money ran out.

The footballer is set to talk about his new biography in which he details a colourful past including appearing in gay pornography and a history of serious gambling debts. I would never say a bad word about my parents, but it maybe tells them where I was without me having to say it to them. The illness took such a grip on McCarron that he was forced to leave the country but the addiction led him down an even darker path and into a world of total depravity where he was willing to do anything for money. In terms of that time, he says he "couldn't see what was right and what was wrong because I was so ill.

He went on to say that: "All I'm going to say is I was fully investigated by the law of Ireland and there was no prosecution. He can say he was defending his player, but his players should be big enough to fight their own battles.

I suppose, at 16 years of age I placed my first bet and I'd say within two years, I was a chronic compulsive gambler and it took off from there. Gardai separated him from the pub security to ask him what happened and be became aggressive to them.The full title of his book is Out of Control: How my addiction almost killed me and my road to redemption and at the end of the interview, Ger asked McCarron if he feels he has been redeemed regarding the actions detailed in the book. As soon as I arrived on the scene, I put my left hand out as a loose cordon to prevent other players, including our own, igniting a potential melee. It was their way of unwinding after we had gone to bed, but alcohol was like loose petrol around a smouldering fire. Keith Gillespie, in town to promote the launch of his autobiography, had his say on Cathal McCarron, correctly stating that, "It might be a weight off his shoulders.

To have a €1,000 in your hand is quite a bit of money and then when you're putting it in digits into your computer, it doesn't.It almost killed me," he said, although McCarron adds that Gaelic football was a salvation of sorts: "I love football and one thing gambling never took from me was football and no matter what I done or much money I blew, it never ever took away the power of football". McCarron met the girl last year despite being in a relationship with his current girlfriend, who is now pregnant with their child. Defence solicitor Peter Connolly furnished the court with a receipt showing his client had complied and had donated the money at which Judge Walsh said he was striking out the case. Pleading for leniency, Mr Connolly described the Temple Bar incident as the “last speed bump in his situation” and he added that his client has received support from his family and the GAA. Judge Walsh said he noted he pleaded guilty, his genuine remorse and that he was under certain emotional stress which may have been a factor.
