I've had sort of, my drug use and alcohol use had been a problem for a while and I'd always sort of struggled with depression and anxiety because of it. And I'd had sort of suicidal thoughts here and there in terms of just feeling I don't know what I'm doing with my life I don't really want to be here I'm just generally unhappy like the majority of the time... I just thought, I think a lot of people are in the position I was in, like a similar sort of scenario, and it's kind of a relatable one where it's just you don't kind of maybe deem yourself like an alcoholic or that you've got a major problem or an issue but obviously there is something that's going wrong in your life or some areas that you can improve and I just thought I always enjoy when we have a chat and whatnot anyway so I thought if we get we get chance to do that, yeah... If anyone's picked this up and is listening and thinks 'oh, I don't know if I want to do it,' it turns around so much quicker than you'd think it does, and I've found that it just only gets better and you can implement other stuff to make you feel better over time.
