Case study: donations in action
Meet Paul
Everything in my life was alcohol until 2010. I remember standing on Waterloo Bridge and thought about ending my life but I didn’t. Somehow I got the strength to stop drinking.
I started drinking in 1992 when my dad died. He was my hero and best friend. I used to drink outside The Connection and despite them trying to help I didn’t listen and got several asbos. But, The Connection was still there with open arms when I was ready.
I’d always run away from rehab and detox and at one point I was drinking 2 bottles of vodka a day. But, I’ve been coming to the Headspace group for 8 months and they've helped get me in to detox.
I’ve been clean for over a year. I know my future’s a lot brighter than the past. I’ve now got 3 great references from The Connection which say I would be good at outreach work. That means the world to me and I can’t wait to give something back.
