Kirsty's story

Kirsty's story...1st pic 2016 using alcohol to cope with life!
Unable to process the grief of loosing both parents within a year, working full time, and convinced I did not have a problem!
I would go to work, stop on the way home and buy vodka, drink until I passed out ( and repeat) this behaviour continued until, my blood was not clotting.
I had aspiration pneumonia, and was so angry and miserable I had given up.
21st January 2022 I had my first day sober, with help and support I learned how to deal with my emotions, plan for the future and I started gradually to enjoy living.
Best decision I every made. Now 3 years sober and loving every minute of my life,Both pics from a works party, what a difference sobriety makes x
Let's show Kirsty some love folks, she has done incredibly well and what a transformation!

Recovery is possible: An addict's story

"Recovery is Possible" is a raw and unfiltered journey through addiction, trauma, and the fight for sobriety. Matt, a recovering alcoholic and survivor of childhood abuse, shares his first year of recovery—not as a doctor, but as someone who has lived it.

Through personal reflections, strategies, and hard-earned lessons, he offers a guide for those battling addiction. From childhood trauma to public accountability, Matt’s story proves that change is possible, no matter how deep the struggle.

The proceeds form the sale of this book supports the sober coach hub and the initiative, helping others on their path to recovery.
