“I don't even consider myself to be in recovery anymore”.
In today’s #BelieveInPeople story, we spoke to Simon, a Recovery Worker at Change Grow Live, who shared how he is now in his dream job.

ALT "After I got clean in 2010 with support from Change Grow Live, I started up my own business as a plasterer. I'd always wanted to work within drug and alcohol services.
ALT Eventually I got a job with Change Grow Live on the outreach team and later as a recovery worker. It was my dream job.
ALT "I don't even consider myself to be in recovery anymore. I'm just living life. Now it's about me trying to be a better person and trying to do more for myself and others." Simon
