"Alcohol Dependancy"

About: CGL Nottinghamshire / Hucknall

(as a service user),

I have both loved and despised alcohol for many years. Over time, things became more serious and about 10 years ago, for many 'reasons' my drinking spiralled out of control. 

I admitted to my self quite early on that I had a problem but it took a long time for me to do anything about it. I eventually lost my partner, my job, most of my money but more importantly, my self respect. 

I was advised to contact CGL which I did and my recovery began. I immediately felt supported by so many people that truly cared, I won't mention names but you know who you are. 

A home detox, some willpower, accepting and acting upon help and advice given from CGL and here I am, a better man with the opportunity for a new start, mentally and physically stronger with a renewed lust for life! 

I couldn't have done this without you all at CGL and your continued support, so thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
