About Me
Hi, I’m Lewis.
I’m a recovering gambler, a proud father of one and someone who understands first-hand the impact gambling addiction can have on every area of life. My son is my biggest motivation and one of the main reasons I committed to becoming gamble-free, so I could be fully present and build a better future for both of us.
Like many people affected by gambling addiction, I experienced the highs, lows and consequences that come with living in the cycle. Today, after rebuilding my life through recovery, accountability and support, I’m passionate about helping others do the same.
Outside of recovery, I’m a football fan and believe strongly in the power of community and connection. I run an in-person recovery community where people can come together, share experiences and support one another on their journey.
Lewis Blake Recovery was created to provide practical support, honest conversations and hope for those looking to break free from gambling and take back control of their lives. My goal is simple: to show people that recovery is possible and that nobody has to face the journey alone.
My Story
For many years, gambling controlled my life. What started as a habit gradually became an addiction that affected every area of my life. I lost relationships, opportunities, confidence and direction. As my addiction worsened, I made decisions that I deeply regret, and ultimately my gambling led me to commit fraud, resulting in a prison sentence.
Losing my freedom forced me to confront the reality of what gambling had done to my life and the lives of those around me. It was one of the darkest periods of my life, but it also became the turning point. For the first time, I took full responsibility for my actions and made the decision to change.
Recovery & Moving Forward
Recovery wasn’t easy, and it didn’t happen overnight. It took honesty, accountability and a commitment to doing the work every day. Slowly, I began rebuilding my life, repairing relationships and creating a future free from gambling.
Today, I am more than two years gamble-free, a proud father and passionate about helping others who are struggling with gambling addiction. Recovery has given me a second chance, and it has shown me that no matter how far someone has fallen, change is possible with the right support and mindset.
Why I Created Lewis Blake Recovery
I created Lewis Blake Recovery because I know how isolating gambling addiction can feel. I know what it’s like to believe things will never change, to feel stuck in the cycle and to think you’re facing it alone.
My goal is simple: to provide practical support, accountability and honest conversations for people looking to break free from gambling and rebuild their lives. Through lived experience, community and recovery-focused content, I want to show others that recovery is possible and that their past does not have to define their future.
