Brian White

Brian tells us how his personal story just seemed to jump out of him! -

'A couple of weeks ago I met up with Lucie and Kev to discuss what would go on my pages on the Wired In Our Community blogs. I was asked to think about five words that would best describe me. I went home and thought about it, but I just couldn’t think of the right words. I grabbed a pen and paper to write down some thoughts and the next thing I knew I had written my personal story!'

Chris Ling

Chris Ling tells us his reasons for wanting to do his personal story -

'I have written my personal story so that others can learn from my experiences with alcoholism and mental health problems. In my experiences, people rarely looked past the fact that I was drinking heavily to try and determine the reasons behind my drinking. In my case, there were serious mental health problems that I needed help in addressing. I think that this oversight is, unfortunately, all too common, and many people are not receiving the correct sort of help.'

Chris Hobbs

Chris tells us why he wanted to put his personal story to paper - 

'Last summer, after meeting the Wired In team, I decided to do my personal story. I wanted others to learn about addiction from someone who had experienced it themselves. I’ve experienced the depths of addiction and I hoped that my story would put people off going down the same route as I did. For those trapped in the cycle of addiction, I hope that my story shows you that there is a way out.'
