Please read! I'm changing things up, to help you. And, me.
URGENT: An update to how my work will progress moving forwards.
Hi all.
Something that has concerned me since I started posting here on Substack, has been that I have mixed my Poems in with my Gambling Awareness posts.
Today, I have re-arranged a few things, with the over-arching goal to fix this.
For those of you that have followed me for some time now, you know how strongly against charging/pay-walling any of my Gambling Article-writing I am. This has not, and will never change. It is, for me, too important to paywall. My hope is that at some point, whether now or in the future (or hopefully - in the past!) people who feel just as lonely and lost as I did in the depths of my gambling.
So, here’s how I’ve reshaped things.
(Note: I don’t pretend to know what I’m doing, in any way, shape, or form. If you disagree with how I’m changing things, please let me know!)
1. “I Wouldn’t Bet on It”.
This Newsletter, whilst young, means so, so much to me. It’s given me a voice, and helped to convey feelings that I don’t believe I eve could have without it. I will continue to post 1 blog weekly here, about either my time gambling, or my time in recovery - or something else gambling related.
There will be 0 paywalls.
People who wish to donate towards my writing here can do so, via PayPal. (My details are: Sean Corcoran, seaneyecare@hotmail.com)
There will be a link at the base of my articles to just this Paypal account.

Also - my “Buy Me a Coffee Page” :)
2. “Seeking Hope Poetry”
This is my new Newsletter - essentially a 2nd Substack, if that makes sense.
This will purely have my poetry posts on it. These poems ARE pay-walled, BUT for a few reasons:
It helps keep my gambling content free
It means I can show you brand new poetry, or never before seen poetry from the upcoming book
For all Annual Subs, you receive 1 x Free Copy of my upcoming first Poetry Book.
I have also worked to keep the cost to subscribe to this SStack the lowest possible amount.
Note: I will be importing all my contacts from “I Wouldn’t Bet on It” to “Seeking Hope Poetry”. If this annoys you; I apologise immediately! You’re welcome to unsubscribe from one, or the other. Or both...though I might cry.
This Substack can be found here: Seeking Hope Poetry.
3. The Upcoming “I Wouldn’t Bet on It” Podcast!
I have set up a Patreon account especially for this. I am so excited for this, too. I will be making sure that these Podcasts are filmed/recorded with the ADHD brain in mind - it will be less than 30-minutes, intensive, and raw. Well, as raw as my guest will allow for it to be.
Please visit my Patreon Account to see which levels will unlock which levels of content for you. This relates directly to the upcoming podcast, but the mid-range does unlock paid access to my poetry Substack.
I’m truly sorry if this was confusing. I promise that over time, it should help clean everything up.

I would be amiss to not thank my most recent sponsors, Jennifer, and
. If you can, please go follow the The Armchair Dweller - his humility is incredible, and he has been so generous - literally today. So too has Jennifer - but I have an upcoming post for you all about her and her works in gambling harm-minimisation/Psychology. :)Final words.
If it hasn’t been made obvious by this, or other, posts of mine - I am incredibly uncomfortable asking for any forms of money. However, it has hit a point where Substack is taking up a considerable about of my spare time. If I could somehow even just take a few hours off full-time, clinical work each week — this would be immensely helpful.
I am so thankful to each and every one of you. if you can’t support me financially - please stick around. I love you, and love your support x
Love, Sean.
Day 629. One Day at a Time.
A great strategy Sean.
Whatever you do Sean, I'm with you! 💗💗
