A new series from Towards Recovery CIC - making recovery from addiction visible. Huseyin and Justin speak to people who have lived experience of recovery from addiction, people who have been affected by addiction and those working in the addiction and recovery field - in its many contexts. There is a lot of information about addiction, but people get better and their stories need to be visible to give others hope. Recovery is not a linear path from A to B, it's more of a winding road and we want to explore those journeys and get those stories heard, because our stories have power.
