Client Stories - Nick

"I’m a GP and I was really distraught when I found out my wife was addicted to painkillers that you can get from the chemist. I knew something was wrong but I didn’t know what and to be honest I thought she was having an affair.

6 months ago she told me she was desperate and needed help as she was addicted to these pills. She’s been in rehab now for 3 months and is doing really well. I've been coming to the support group as I felt like I needed some help as the trust in our relationship had gone. At the group I’m learning new ways of communicating and learning how to look after my own needs."
