“If Rachel hadn’t taken that risk… I’d be dead. 100%.” 💛

I was drinking 2 litres of spirits a day and ready to give up. Doctors, helplines, detox—nothing worked. Then I called The Freedom Room.

Rachel acted fast. She helped me detox safely and gave me a fighting chance. I completed the program, faced my trauma, and got my life back.

If you’re desperate, don’t wait. Reach out now. The Freedom Room saves lives.

St Patrick’s Day looks very different for me these days 🍀

Due to my Irish heritage, there was a time when this day was a big one. I’d take the day off work, head to London, pub hop my way through every Irish pub I could find, then make my way back to Northampton to keep it going at the local pubs and clubs. Cabbage and bacon somewhere along the way (still not a fan… sorry 😅).
I’d book the next day off just to recover. And if it landed on a weekend… well, it wasn’t just a day, it was a full event.

Back then, everything revolved around drinking. It was expected. It was normal. And honestly, it was exhausting.

These days, my celebrations are quieter, calmer, and a whole lot healthier. No hangover, no anxiety, no lost days trying to piece myself back together. Just presence, clarity, and gratitude for the life I have now.

I don’t miss who I had to be to keep up with that lifestyle.
And I’m incredibly grateful for who I get to be today.

If today feels hard for you because drinking used to be part of the tradition, please know this: it is possible to enjoy life without it. And it’s okay if your version of celebrating looks different now too.

Happy St Patrick’s Day 🍀
From someone who’s lived both sides.

One of the biggest lies addiction tells people is:

“You should be able to handle this on your own.”

So people try.
They try to control it.
They try to cut back.
They try to prove to themselves they’re strong enough.

And when it doesn’t work, the shame gets even louder.
But addiction was never something people were meant to fight alone.
Recovery happens when people have support.
When they have honesty.
When they have a place where they can speak openly without judgement.

At The Freedom Room, that’s exactly what we create.
A space where people realise they are not broken, they are not weak, and they do not have to do this by themselves.

Because real strength isn’t pretending everything is fine. Real strength is asking for help.

Most people think the big moments are what break us.
The divorce.
The job loss.
The illness.
The big life shocks.

Those moments are hard, of course. But when they happen, we usually know we need support. We reach out. We talk. We lean on others to get through it.
What catches many people off guard in recovery are the small things.
The frustrating email.
The bad driver.
The flat tyre.
The can opener that refuses to work.
The day where everything feels slightly off.
In the past, we often turned these small moments into something much bigger. Our emotions would spike quickly and suddenly the day felt overwhelming.
Without alcohol to numb those reactions, we have to learn a new way of responding.

Recovery teaches us something simple but powerful: not everything needs a reaction.
Sometimes the best thing we can do is pause, take a breath, and remember that this moment will pass.
The small frustrations of the day don’t have to control the whole day.
Patience, perspective, and support are the tools that slowly replace chaos.
And over time, those small moments that once felt overwhelming become just that…

Small.

Progress in recovery often happens in these quiet moments.

Watching someone you love struggle with alcohol can be incredibly painful.
You want to help… but you might not know how.
Many people try to fix it, carry the burden alone, or hope things will somehow get better on their own.

The truth is recovery is a process, and the right support can make all the difference.

If someone in your life is struggling, here are a few ways you can help:

• Start a calm, compassionate conversation
• Encourage professional support
• Set healthy boundaries
• Celebrate small steps forward
• And remember to look after yourself too

The good news is that recovery is possible.

Because no one should have to face addiction alone.

The biggest lie addiction tells you is: “You’re fine.”

Freedom begins when you stop believing it.
When you tell yourself the truth.
When you decide your life is worth more.
That’s where change begins.

And that’s where freedom starts.

14 years ago today, I was drinking a litre of vodka a day, and my life was in chaos. I was blacking out, neglecting my daughters ' needs, and trying desperately to stop, but not knowing how. They saw and experienced things that they never should have at such a young age.
I was losing all the relationships around me, but alcohol had total control of me. I genuinely believed I was going to die an alcoholic because I couldn’t stop. After a very unpleasant altercation that made me violent with my partner, I dropped to my knees in desperation. I was either going to put myself in front of a train, or I was going to get well. I couldn't live like I was anymore. Thankfully, I chose the latter of the 2 and put myself into rehab that day.

I have not had a drink or taken a drug since. But stopping drinking was only the beginning.
The last 14 years have been about learning how to live, rebuilding my life, repairing relationships, and growing into someone I can be proud of. I did so much damage to my loved ones, and I will be making it up to them for as long as I live, especially my girls.

And at 9 years clean and sober on the 09/03/ 2021, that journey led me to create The Freedom Room, so others struggling the way I once did could find real support.
I work at making a change every day. Happy 5th Birthday to the Freedom Room.

I never believed life could be this good. I still face challenges, and I am always learning and growing, but I know today that nothing is ever worth picking up a drink for.
