Bahati Imerudi: From Betting Addiction to Financial Freedom
My name is Kevin, a young man from Kisumu who believed betting was the shortcut to riches. It started as harmless fun with friends after work. Soon, I was borrowing money, selling my phone, and even lying to my mother just to place one more bet. Every loss felt like a curse hanging over my life.
There were nights I couldn’t sleep, staring at my empty M-Pesa balance, promising myself I would stop. But the urge always returned stronger. My girlfriend left me, saying she could not build a future with a gambler. That broke me.
An uncle took me to see a traditional doctor in the village. I expected judgment, but instead I was given stern advice and herbal mixtures meant to calm my restless mind. More importantly, I was guided through a cleansing process to break what was described as a spiritual attachment to gambling.
It wasn’t instant. The cravings came, but they were weaker. I started focusing on my boda boda business again. Slowly, I paid my debts. Months later, I had enough savings to rent a small shop. My life feels stable now.
Betting almost destroyed me, but healing came when I accepted I needed help beyond myself.
