Remíza is more than just the title of a book. It is a symbol of my personal battle with sports betting addiction, my search for balance, my journey toward making peace with the past, and my decision never to give up. This is not a story about victory or defeat - it is a story about life.

In September 2026, a new project begins - an autobiographical travel novel unlike anything you have ever read, serving as a spiritual continuation of REMÍZA – A Bet on Life. What came after all the falls, the shattered hopes, and the search for my true self? From Shadow to Color: Being ALONE.

What You'll Find on Remíza
- On Remíza, you will discover excerpts and stories from REMÍZA – A Bet on Life - a raw and honest account of addiction, debt, lies, recovery, and the journey back to myself.
- You can also follow Recovery Day by Day – Predná Hora, a collection of daily journal entries and personal reflections from my time in treatment, many of which are featured in REMÍZA – A Bet on Life.
- The website also features articles on personal growth and life, exploring topics such as values, responsibility, finances, fear, discipline, and personal transformation, alongside articles about addiction, offering honest insights into addiction, relapse, cravings, and the path to recovery.
- In addition, you can read Lost in Time, an independent fantasy adventure novel available as an eBook in EPUB, PDF, and MOBI formats for
€ 6.99 (935 pages).

This website is about more than just a book.
It is about honesty, support, and sharing real-life experiences. Perhaps you will see yourself in these stories. Perhaps they will help you stop before it is too late. Or perhaps they will simply remind you that you are not alone. Together, we can search for balance - our own Remíza.

With respect and humility,

About the Author

I am someone with a passion for true stories that reveal deep emotions and profound personal transformation. My writing is built on authenticity and lived experience, and I am never afraid to explore even the most difficult aspects of life.

My book, REMÍZA – A Bet on Life, offers a raw and deeply emotional account of my battle with gambling addiction, while also telling a story of self-discovery, forgiveness, and new beginnings. Within its pages, you will find not only stories of failure and resilience, but also a journey into the depths of the human soul, where pain and hope for change exist side by side.

I believe that stories have the power to heal and to bring people together. For me, writing is a way of understanding the world, and sharing my experiences is my way of encouraging others never to give up—no matter how difficult their own journey toward finding their Remíza may be.
