I have been abstinent for over 8 years after 27 years of active addiction. This personal journey has deeply informed my professional work as a support worker. My career began in residential treatment and now continues in supported living. I am dedicated to supporting others with their addiction. I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care. Through my experiences, I have learned that, given time, people can rebuild their lives. Recovery can happen quickly for some and more slowly for others, but it is always possible. We do recover.
