Well done Sophie. I am currently with stars (humankind) and awaiting detox and understand everything your saying. I feel like i am about to die at the moment physically but if you access the right services like these guys, you will enjoy the rest of your life. I want to volunteer and work with a company like this once i'm better as a career change as i wouldn't wish addiction on my worse enemy. Do some fundraising aswell.
Well done though Sophie. Be very proud girl. From one alcoholic to a now recovering alcoholic💙. All the best. Mike

I want to do the same. But don't neglect yourself and have a new group of friends who addiction doesn't revolve around x
