Christian
started drinking when he was 16. It created a problem for him. He
enjoyed getting drunk, he couldn't get enough of it. However, as
time went on he came to realise that people were not amused by what
he did. It interfered with his relationships and it made him often
feel depressed and isolated However, now at the age of 21 he is overcoming his problem. He has already completed a three-month Prince's Trust course helping him discover life skills and communication skills. At last he has found a job with a coachbuilders' company. He is now building a new life and is leaving the past behind him. He hasn't drunk for several months and would like to thank St. Anne's House, the home of Edges, for giving him support, helping him overcome his problems. |
