Story
Hi, my name’s Ryan — I’m an addict and an alcoholic in recovery.
I’ve been clean and sober now for almost three years, and I’ve spent that time giving back to the place that helped me heal — through service, sponsorship, and gratitude, something I will be forever grateful for.
Now, I want to take that further. I want to help the people who are affected indirectly by addiction — the mums, the dads, the partners, the kids the list is unamountable.
Through my own experience, I know my actions didn’t just affect me. My wife and my children were sometimes hostages in our own home… and my mum, friends and family were heartbroken watching me destroy myself.
My family were sometimes left in impossible situations through no fault of there own, sometimes homeless with nowhere to turn for support.
I’m one of the lucky ones. My family stood by me. And I’ve spent nearly three years making amends — a lifelong action I’ll never stop taking. Not everyone gets that chance. Some are left homeless, widowed, orphaned — the list goes on.
So I’m taking on the Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for Addiction Family Support — a charity that helps the families left behind by addiction.
The target’s five grand… but my heart says £10k - I am an addict after all!
If you can, please donate. Every little bit goes a long way.
I’m Ryan — addict in recovery — and together, we can make a difference.
