"Never give up"

About: Northampton Drug and Alcohol Service (NDAS) Spring House

(as a relative),

My day started as normal

Well let me explain.

I returned home from work to find answer machine messages from my desperate sister in law pleading for help she was so drunk (Vodka is her poison) and incapable of even getting dressed she hadn't eaten for many days not washed but I felt that she trusted me enough to share the severity of her problem with me. I will be honest and say that I knew ( we knew as a family ) she had a liking for the drink. And today was the day that see asked for help. but on this "normal" day for me was so different for my sister in law who I am going to call Beth*

Because today Beth* asked ME for help! and I had no idea on how an earth was I going to do this for Beth* as she had literally hit rock bottom and I knew that I need to find help.

I was advised to contact Spring House Northampton well this was the best thing I could of done for Beth* and also myself. Because from the moment I walked in I must of looked like a rabbit in a lorry's headlights I was so nervous about going in I just didn't know what to expect or how I would be welcomed. Well if I tell you I didn't need to worry at all. I would not be telling you a lie! The staff were so helpful and also knowledgeable and gave me so much information and advised on the help they can offer and will offer. And I would like to say a huge thank you to Spring House because with the advise you kindly gave me I can help and support Beth* to have "normal" once again.

The road Myself and Beth* are about to travel down together I'm sure will be a very unstable and immensely challenging but I am ready to put my trainers on and run that damn road with Beth* No longer am I desperate for help and now I have somewhere to turn.

Never give up please
