I’ve lived with addiction in different ways throughout my life and have been 13 years in recovery. I’ve also seen how addiction and gambling can affect families, and how those experiences shape lives.

Like many people, I’ve had moments when life became overwhelming and my recovery was tested. Those challenges reminded me of the importance of staying grounded, looking after my wellbeing, and paying attention to the early signs when things start to slip.

I know recovery can be messy, complicated, and incredibly personal. I’m here to support people in finding their own balance, one simple step at a time, and to remind them that rebuilding is always possible and never something to feel shame about.
