Just realised we have over 2k followers! thanks so much😇 sorry I haven’t been posting much. Life and all that. I guess that’s a thing though isn’t it. Life is busy and life is good. It all comes from me staying clean. Everything I have in my life is from that and I need to remember that. I’m running a detox centre and that keeps me grounded. speaking of which, if each of our followers gave a quid on this page it would make a huge difference.

So this is my story and I’m sticking to it.

I was in active addiction for around 20 years though it is really hard to pin point the exact moment. I was a functioning addict, a term I hate as there was nothing functional about what I was doing. I had the house, family, car, job all the trappings. Eventually though, my addiction caught up with me. I could no longer function.

A 3 month stint in a rehab with intensive therapy and brutal honesty saved my life. 2 years on, lots of meetings, tons of talking, I decided to share my story and that of others on this page and spread the message that recovery is possible and it is so much better than a life of addiction.

Today, I have a great relationship with my daughter, my ex wife and I are on good terms. My family want to spend time with me and my friends both old and new no longer avoid me.

Recovery, for me is a simple case of putting in work to stay clean and sober. I say “Try anything and everything twice for your recovery. If you still think it’s sh*te, drop it.”
