Clean and sober for approaching a year, Phil reflects on how his life has changed, and what he’s doing to support his continued wellbeing.

After most of his life in addiction, homeless and living rough on the streets, a self-confessed no hoper finds recovery and the keys to his own home.

James reflects on having a relapse after life seemed to be going so well. Coming to terms with this setback, James considers why it happened, what he’s learned from it, and where he goes from here.

Uncomfortable with his thoughts, his opinion of himself and in the company of others, James became increasingly withdrawn in his early teens. Using weed and alcohol to escape his thoughts and give him the confidence to socialise, James slipped into substance addiction and again found himself hiding away.

Recently out of detox, Phil looks back at his experience and outlines the changes he's made and those he intends to make, to maintain his sobriety.

In a dark place on the day before admission for an alcohol detox, Phil reflects on how he got to where he is. Your story can help others, and we'd love to hear it.
