Seeing the Light

Hi, my name is Andrew. I have 12 years lived experience of problematic drinking and have been sober for almost 2 years. I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2011 and have suffered with my mental health all my adult life. This has led me to using alcohol as self medication and it ruined my life. I have lost relationships, friendships, my parents and ultimately, access to my children through alcohol use.

After a spell in hospital I decided to quit. Sober social, project 6 Doncaster has helped me change my life around and I have created this video in support for them with a weeks notice. I owe them my life. This video is a reflection of my life and all my friends at the service. Director/creator: Andrew Torr. Actor: Ashley Cowley. poetry written and read by: Roger Gibbons. .
