I understand that...

Kind of looking like an election rally...

Police protecting their community... There is hope...

A moment that changed me: I stopped drinking – and realised what friendship really meant I always thought hitting the bottle made me the life and soul of the party, but sobriety helped me to be honest with myself – and make genuine connections with other people

Jason of #SleafordMods speaks about substance abuse

What I will say to anybody that desperately wants to rid themselves of the albatross that is a chemical rut ... at the dread of the daylight coming up because they’ve run out of drugs, the mornings become something so beautiful it’s indescribable.

A nice cup of tea...

I’m 8 years clean this week. I still think the first 3 lagers and then a good tug on the nose is possibly up there with free climbing just above the roof of mist that saturates some distant rain forest in Venezuela. And let’s not forget the slow stroll out of the pub and into the smoking area for a nice nicotine dessert and a good old tap tap on your phone. But, I didn’t care and that’s not cool is it? I think the reason we all put up with grey walls and car parks full of nub ends is because lager helps dull the pain of it all. I found so much solace in the drunken eye, the fat chromed lager pumps with condensation running down them. The burgundy boarders around the menus, the familiar sound of the hinges on the door that led up the stairs to the toilets. Manifestations were made, paranoia set. Wages spent. Debts were pinned to me for endless bags of gear that bought with them the lives of others who rolled chaotic snowballs much bigger than mine, down the hill.

Of course this isn’t life for 'most people'. And now, after 8 years, I think I’m part of that ‘most people’ group. There is another life possible. It’s still full of contradictions, and to a lot of those still in the pub, those contradictions are unacceptable and occasionally I get a good telling off as when you change, people don't necessarily change with you. It's taken me a long time to forgive myself, but out of that has come a happiness, a state of being that was unknown to me. That's not to say that it's easy street, it isn't. In some respects it's harder as there's nowhere to hide, however the challenge is manageable. Sobriety for me is a very positive place to be in and I truly believe it can be that for everybody.

Got this from someone in a band I follow...

‘I hadn’t thought about a drink. Then I saw the pub. Game over’: singer-songwriter Michael Head on beating addiction – again He’s a national treasure to many, with a remarkable songbook spanning more than 40 years. But after kicking heroin twice, he spiralled back into drinking – until an ardent fan saved his life
