I can't put it into words to be honest. I've been feeling so shameful for years. I just feel now as though my life's beginning.
Meet Sharon, one of the many inspiring participants who shared their story for Taking Action on Addiction. Sharon talks about her childhood, living with her parents both of whom were dependent on alcohol. Sharon's story is beautiful as it explains why people who are around the addiction of others need recovery too.
Darren talks about his sexuality and how this ignited an internal conflict about his true identity - leading him to become dependent on alcohol. Now substance free and working for The Forward Trust, Darren's inspiring story shows how good life can be when free from addiction.
My addiction took me to a dark and lonely place. But I was eventually lucky enough to find recovery.
