A lad I knew and went to school with ended his life after his life unravelled due to gambling.
He lost everything ended up in prison after he held up the bookies with a shot gun and eventually got caught.
He was a good footballer and a quiet man.
I couldn't believe what had happened to him when I found out.
I have suffered from addiction but I realised it was going the wrong way so took a step back.
I guess I was 1 of the lucky ones.
