01 What it was like
Following my mums death on Christmas day 2011. I had a 10 year downwards spiral with alcohol and drug addiction, This eventually lead to me fighting for my life in hospital. I have since turned my life around by choosing the life of sobriety. It has been a tough but rewarding process for me! I am now buzzing off life in recovery and helping other addicts,alcoholics and people with mental health. My recovery is the most important thing I have, which I want to share with other people, to help them and show them there is a way out of addiction. I am now happy, motivated, sober and living my best life in sobriety ???
