Vicky shares how, during a difficult period in her life, her sister encouraged her to seek support through Recovery Near You. Within two weeks, she had been connected with a key worker who provided non-judgemental, consistent support, including regular appointments, check-ins and information about treatment options.
She describes how the service helped her better understand alcohol use, including the impact it can have on the brain and body, while giving her the confidence to take the next steps in her recovery. Through courses including alcohol awareness, women’s empowerment, loss and relapse, and Rise, Vicky found a supportive community where she felt welcomed, understood and able to be herself.
She describes Recovery Near You as a place where she feels at home, surrounded by people who genuinely want to help her succeed. As she puts it, the experience has been “phenomenal.”
