"My journey with lock down and drinking"

About: Change Grow Live Cambridgeshire / Wisbech

(as a service user),

My journey with lock down and drinking more than I wanted too during lock down

Drinking more than usual because of lock down made me realize that I needed a bit of help but felt a little nervous to reach out for help until I thought how much easier it would be than trying to cut back or stop on my own.

I would like to thank everyone one that has helped me through this journey, for all their support, kindness, encouragement and for never judging me. I am now on day six of my detox and feel so much Like my old self again, no more awful hang overs. I feel so much more positive and motivated. I feel alive again and healthy.

I recommend this service and would especially like to thank the lovely nurse Janice, my support worker Daniella for all there kindnesses and amazing work. I feel blessed. On wards and upwards now for me.. never give up and seek help if you feel you need it.. It could be the best thing you ever do for your self and loved one's.

Hi Zebbie

Thank you so much for your feedback and I will pass this on to Jan and Danielle!

Lockdown has been so hard for so many people and turning to alcohol during this period has been on the increase.

Going through a detox is hard but the rewards at the end of it are amazing so its great that you are doing so well. The support is thee for you following your detox within CGL and outside in the wider community. Grab it and go for it! Well done and keep going and we are right with you!

Thanks

Paul
