“It hasn’t always been easy and of course I’ve had my doubts. 

Everyone in recovery has their little tricks or things that work for them, and for me it’s knowing that I can always go back to drinking again if I want to. That might sound strange, but it means that I’m making a choice  –  that I have a choice  –  and that I am in control of myself and my future. For me, that’s really  important."

Support for others

It can be tough when your loved one has a problem with drugs or alcohol but you're not alone. We have family and carers groups where you can find out more about addiction, share your feelings and learn how to build a healthier relationship with your loved one.
