Recovery journeys
These stories show some of the useful experiences people have had while getting support for alcohol or drugs in Angus.
Ryan, Age 17
Addiction comes with a lot of other struggles, such as financial, family and relationships, anxiety, feeling like I am a burden, but the hardest thing to deal with is feeling powerless and alone when battling your struggles. Support is out there; you just need to take a chance and take the first step.
Thomas, Age 21
When I first started smoking cannabis I never really thought it was something I could get addicted too, and something that can take control of my life in such a negative way, but with the help from friends, family and TCA I have been able to start my journey of being free of addiction although it comes with struggles support is always there by my side.
