William Halstead 
House in the Countryside 

"Did I want to die with the knowledge that I hadn’t given it my all? No, I did not…"This is the true story of William Halstead, a carefree and happy guy who succumbed to a horrific, relentless, and sometimes life-threatening gambling addiction. This eventually led him down a dark path towards serious mental health issues. A House in the Countryside is a short but compelling insight into the mind of an addict, the resulting psychological problems, and the impact this is having on many similar lives throughout society – an awful disease from which happiness can be found again.
