"If I could go back in time I would."

“In 2009 I was addicted to all kind of drugs. I didn't have such a good childhood. My mom was addicted to drugs, alcohol and my dad left when I was little. I have learnt that drugs destroys lives. It doesn't just destroy life you lose a lot of friends too. The only good thing in that tragedy was rehabilitation. When I was on drugs I felt so bad. After the rehabilitation I felt much better than before. The drugs made me so much weaker mentally. I can't explain why but it does. A good advice is don't even try drugs, group pressure, it doesn't matter. If I could go back in time I would. Because I regret taking drugs so much. 

It was all thanks to my Grandma that I stopped. One summer I visited her in Göteborg. She notice that there was something wrong with me and she asked me ”have you taken drugs?” I couldn't lie. So I said ”yes”. The first thing she did was call the rehabilitation center and send me there.

I played football in Brommapojkarna for 13 years. Then I broke my leg and my career as a footballer was over. After football I started hanging with my friend and it was then I started doing drugs. It was a huge mistake.”
