The love I share today

I have decided to extend my fundraising to include the valuable service of SMART RECOVERY UK, who run support groups nationwide. At Gravesend it is based within cgl and works alongside the cgl team supporting service users before, during and after recovery. It provides ongoing, support for addicts both in active recovery and sobriety In a friendly group environment with ‘like minded’ individuals. This allows us to share, support and encourage each other with understanding in a safe place. I still attend a meeting every Tuesday at Gravesend, which I ‘look forward’ to each week. I have managed to establish a firm ‘grounding’ to my abstinence from alcohol through the ongoing support I receive here. SMART RECOVERY UK provide the foundation and play a crucial part in REMAINING SOBER - which i hasten to add is the difficult part.

SMART have also given me the love I share today with friends, family and peers, especially my daughter (picture).
