Joel Soper: Battling His Gambling Addiction

THE FINISH LINE –

Sept. 28, 2022 – Soper acknowledged his struggles are ongoing and even pointed out that, with football now underway, the urge to bet will only be harder to battle.

“It’s been over six months, and I am not going to sit here and sugarcoat it, you know, we got football season coming up. So, it’s a little bit hard, but I’m hanging in there and that’s why I keep doing podcasts, I talk to people on the phone almost every day. I’ve been written up a lot. So, this is kind of like my lifeline to stay sober in a way,” Soper explained.

While he did it for himself, the response from others is an added bonus.

“It was more to help myself with than anything else. I mean, I wish I could lie and say it was to help other people. But, you know, it turns out just from the responses that I’m getting that it is resonating with some people.”
