    • About Me

      I am a recovered alcoholic of 5.5 years sobriety. I work in care, looking after people with learning difficulties, and have written a book on my addiction and recovery. I believe God came to my aid when I asked Him whilst I was in rehab. I play guitar, and chess (badly), enjoy cooking (even worse than my chess). I wouldeventually like to work with people who have drug and alcohol problems.
