A young man from Lincoln who escaped alcohol addiction is looking ahead to a brighter future thanks to getting sober, and is now helping others find their paths to success.

For over twenty years Edward fought alcoholism and anxiety. During this time he said he struggled to secure employment and found himself turning to alcohol to escape from daily life.

Things took a turn for the worse when he got in trouble after making an attempt on his life, and this gave him the wake-up call he needed to seek help. He now seeks to work with others suffering mental health and addiction to mentor them and turn their lives around.
