Congratulations Beau! As many of you know, Beau was one of the storytellers at the last EVRY1 show. He's an absolute legend.
❤️ 3 YEARS CLEAN TODAY!. AND GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE! ❤️
The photo on the left was me on 1/10/23.
I had lost my relationship, my home, access to my dog Macky Smacky, access to my youngest son, and had been excluded from his 5th birthday.
After 25 years add1cted to 1ce, I was using around 8 points a day, weighed 62kg, was experiencing psychosis, depression and su1cidal thoughts. After an attempt to end my l1fe, I was back in hospital.
I couldn't see a future.
Today marks 3 YEARS since that dark day....
Rehab gave me a chance to change my life, rebuild relationships and become present again as a dad, partner and friend.
I'm still a work in progress, and I don't take any of it for granted.
One of the greatest gifts of recovery has been the opportunity to give back. Today, through Nourish Street Inc ,I spend much of my life helping people sleeping rough and people going through some of the same struggles I once faced.
Not because I'm better than anyone.
Because I remember what it felt like to need someone to believe there was still a person underneath the addiction.
So if you're sick of waiting on ,"old mate". sick of the highs and lows, and sick of spending everything just to feel "normal", please know your story doesn't have to end here.
I spent 25 YEARS in add1ction.
If I could take that first step, maybe you can too.
Rehab saved my life. It might just save yours.

Moonya was a huge part of my recovery journey, and I'll always be grateful for the chance they gave me.
If you're in immediate danger or thinking about ending your l1fe, call 000 or go to your nearest emergency department.
3 years clean today.
Mostly, I'm just grateful the bloke on the left is still here to become the bloke on the right. ❤️
If sharing this helps even one person find the courage to ask for help, then it's worth sharing.
