What it was like?

I remember this day so well. I took my fathers car, drove out to the forrest and wanted to end my life. My mental illness took over my body, the voices was screaming so loud in my head and nothing could stop me. The police officer stopped me just about when I was going to swallow my pills. After 2 suicide attempts I was placed in mental hospital.

What happened?

From summer 2017 until summer 2018 I lost over 18 million SEK in my gambling addiction. I fooled my family, relatives and friends. I have lost really everything, my family, my children, my manager position at work, our new built house and so much more.

What it is like now?

Now im fighting back, I want to help others and also give back to the people I owe money. I am working out in the gym 5 times/week. My weight last year was 116,5kg, today it's 88,2kg. Im feeling much better and I have been gamlbing free for over 1 year. I am writing on my autobiography at the moment with my author and all the money from the sale will go to the people who suffered because of my addiction. The book will be ready for sale in about 2-3 months. The book will be sold all over the world. Instagramaccount @lukasbetting .
