Thank you to Anthony for sharing his recovery story.

“Addiction is part of your story, not the end of it — recovery is where you begin to write the chapters you deserve.”

I don’t like to think about where I would be now. I don’t think the outcome would be good. I was literally drinking to die. I was saved by my faith and TBRP.

We all experience stress and anxiety in different ways. Whether it's related to our work, studies, or other life challenges, it can sometimes lead to us drinking more alcohol than we'd like.

Cutting down on our drinking, even a little, can lessen our anxiety and make us feel more focused, energised and productive. Come and see us tomorrow at The Albany Arcade, Halifax Borough Market to see how we can help.
