In this powerful film, @TonyAdams shares the moment that sparked his recovery journey - and why honest conversations about addiction can save lives. This video is part of The Conversation That Changed Everything, a national campaign for Addiction Awareness Week (23–30 November), led by The Forward Trust and the Taking Action on Addiction coalition.

Recovery starts with conversation. Watch the full video: youtube.com/watch?v=zOdGwgOS… #LetsTalkAddiction
