πMEET THE TEAM - BURTONπ
βMy name is Simon, and I spent 32 years living in addiction.
For so many years, I couldnβt see a way out of heavy drug use. Addiction had taken so much from me, leaving me feeling broken, hopeless and unable to imagine a life without drugs.
When I was finally offered the opportunity to go into rehabilitation, I grabbed it with both hands. I knew something had to change.
During rehab, alongside trauma therapy, I was told that recovery would mean changing everything, my surroundings, the people I spent time with and the way I lived my life.
So, after completing rehab, I made the decision to relocate to Burton and give myself a fresh start.
As I began to find freedom from addiction, I discovered Better Way Recovery, a place where people come together to support one another and build better lives.
Today, Iβm proud to work at Better Way Recovery, supporting others who are facing the same struggles I once faced.
After 32 years in addiction, I know just how difficult it can be to find a way out. But I also know that recovery is possible.
I believe passionately that everyone deserves a chance at a better life, regardless of their past.
Thatβs why I do what I do. Thatβs why I work at Better Way Recovery. π
