"My fight to get my life back."

About: Substance to Solution

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I had a drinking problem. I was advised by my doctor to go to S2S. I reluctantly went, where I was greeted by Tom at reception. I then had a 1to1 meeting with a lady called Riz and then saw a nurse and was made to feel at ease straight away. I was invited to a group all in the same position as me (I didn't want to do this) but I went along and really enjoyed it where I met Caroline (a helper). I just wanted to control my drinking but couldn't so after a few months and from their help which I'm really glad of I went for Detox. Its the best thing I've ever done. Thanks to all at S2S, everything is kept so "PRIVATE" you can have a 1to1 with someone or there is always someone to talk to on the phone. I can't thank them enough. From reception, key workers, helpers, nurses, I wouldn't have achieved this certainly without a few pushes from Riz and Caroline. And I've made a few friends also. I would also like to thank them all from the bottom of my heart. I now have two daughters who are so proud of me and my husband has got back the wife he deserves.

Thanks all once again.

Dear Glenice the Menace,

I'm really pleased to hear about your positive experiences at S2S.

Because you have shared your story, people who may be apprehensive about coming into our service will hopefully have a better idea of what to expect.You did a great job of explaining the different support options that are available.

Thank you for taking the time to feedback.

I wish you and your family all the best for the future

Annmarie
