My Story

I'm Troy Reardon. I grew up in the eastern suburbs of Sydney across from Long Bay Jail, raised by a hardworking mum who battled her own addictions while doing her best to keep our family afloat. My father left when I was a baby and also struggled with addiction. I was born with a large birthmark on my head and was bullied at school. I poured myself into sport to cope, but the pain didn't go away.

At 15 I found gambling. The rush and escape felt like a lifeline. That rush led to drinking, then drugs, and by 19 I was addicted to ice and trapped in a cycle of gambling, debt and self-destruction. I survived overdoses, nights with no sleep and constant shame. By 24 I'd hit rock bottom and didn't know where to turn.

One morning a friend helped me into detox and I completed a 30‑day rehab program. I committed to change, accepted help, and built a new life. Today I'm over nine years clean, sober and gamble‑free. Recovery taught me practical tools, accountability and the power of community — and it gave me my life back.

Now I run a focused gambling recovery community, combining lived experience with proven strategies to help others break the cycle, rebuild confidence and move forward. If you're ready to change, I'll walk with you every step of the way.

Who This Is For

If any of this sounds like you, keep reading.

  • You're using drugs, drinking too much, or gambling — and it's starting to cost you
  • You keep telling yourself "just one more"
  • You're losing time, money, or people you love
  • You feel stress, guilt, or shame about what you're doing
  • You've hidden it from people who matter
  • You've tried to stop on your own and it hasn't stuck

If that's you — I've been exactly where you are. And there's a way out.

Real Men. Real Change.

These are the men I've worked with. Here's what they say.

"Aww thanks Troy. His response to you is truly a turnaround — wishes we'd heard about you earlier. I know it takes time but he's proactive now."

Family member

"Today marked two weeks since I've been gamble free. I know it doesn't sound like a long time, but it's the first time I've been 2 weeks not gambling since I started. Hope everyone controlled the urges."

Community member

"I want to thank everyone for their support and contributions in the community. Working like a miracle — haven't gambled since I joined. I'm grateful, everyone. Thanks for your support."

Community member

"Today marks 3 months since my last bet! Just want to thank this group, the people in it, and Troy for the support. It means so much to reach this point and defeat this ugly addiction, one day at a time…"

Community member

Community member

"Today I've been 1 month and 2 days gamble free, ever since joining this group. It's kept me accountable and not wanting to let myself and this group down. Best thing I've done is register for BetStop and stay away from the pub. Thanks Troy for the support bruv, really appreciate it."

Community member

"6 weeks and still no gambling — it gets easier fellas, believe me. This is the longest I've ever been gamble free and I've seen so many benefits already. My life is improving so much it motivates me to stay the course."

Common Questions

I'm not a counsellor or a clinician. I'm a man who's been sober and gamble-free for nine years after two decades of addiction. What I offer is lived experience, structure, and real support — not therapy. If you need clinical help, I'll help you find it.

Most of the men I work with have tried something before. That's often why they come to me — they want someone who's actually been there, not someone who's read about it.

Yes. Whatever you're facing — gambling, drugs, alcohol, or all three — you'll find people in the community who get it. For a lot of people, they're all tangled up anyway.

Yes. What we discuss stays between us. The community is private and only accessible to members.

Relapse isn't failure — it's information. Inside the community you can talk about what happened, adjust, and keep going, without judgement. Nobody gets kicked out for slipping up.

Family often reaches out first. You can join the community anytime — but you'll get the most out of it when you actually want to do the work yourself.

The community is free to join. Come in, use the weekly live group calls and the growing video library, and cancel anytime — no lock-in.

No problem — the community is fully online. You can be part of it from anywhere in Australia or overseas.

Then don't force it. This works when you're ready. When you are, the community will be here.
