32 - Adam Petson and Peter Da Silva- Addiction Recovery and Childhood Trauma
Two boro graduates of Recovery Connections 12 step recovery programme tell their different stories of overcoming addiction to inspire others to learn from their experiences. Recorded at the excellent Persian cottage restaurant in Middlesbrough.
Adam Petson is currently a Recovery Capital Development lead for Recovery Connections in Middlesbrough (UK). His recovery journey from alcoholism began in June 2017 when he started a 24-week residential rehabilitation program at Recovery Connections in Middlesbrough. During this time, both Adam and Peter went through a physical, mental and psycho-social process that allowed them to create the foundation and building blocks of their recovery. Following completion of a Psychology and Counselling degree and a masters in Trauma informed practice. Adam now pushing forward with creating the UKs first 'Recovery City' in Middlesbrough and oversees the collegiate recovery programme in Teesside University, something he describes as giving him serious purpose.
Peter Da Silva found his way into addiction and a life of crime when his mother passed away when he was 11 years old. Multiple court appearances and an ever descending path into hard drug addition saw him sentenced to more than one stretch in prison as his life continued into chaos. In 2017, he found himself homeless yet within a year, he was admitted into a Rehab programme where he finally found the foundations of his now 6 year period of being clean. He has also completed a degree in psychology and counselling, and is proud to be helping others as a Harm Reduction Support Worker in Middlesbrough, living a full life.
This candid, open and honest interview contains some difficult topics yet can provide hope and insight to anyone on a similar path or those affected by addiction.
