Calling in from Scotland!!
I would like to introduce you to CHRIS NELLIST.
Chris has an incredibly inspiring story of recovery.

Topics include:
Drinking at an early age, alcoholism at age of 12, having his first child at age 15, leaving home shortly after, joining the British Army, finding out he had dyslexia, overcoming that and getting a Law degree, sobriety in 2020, detox, Antabuse, recovery nature walks, classical music!

In his own words:
"I am a 52-year-old man who became an alcoholic aged 12. Over the years it was up and down like it is for many of us, but overall a slow downward spiral.
I did achieve some things over time but also lost far too many.
In 2020 it had progressed to being none functional, so it meant drinking morning till night just to keep the withdrawals away. Suffering every morning with the dry heaving, severe shakes and even hallucinations.
In September 2020 I finally decided to look for help and spoke to my doctor. She was amazing and referred me to the local NHS addiction team. They assessed me and arranged a medically supervised detox. Then lots of support including medication and counselling.
I have been sober since and now work and have just been accepted into university to study to become a nurse."

Thank you, Chris, for your honesty and for sharing. You are a true inspiration 🙏
