The Alcohol & Drug Service (ADS) has been transforming lives for more than 25 years. This is the true story of Keith, a retired man from Hull, who almost lost his wife and home because of alcohol. When his wife gave him an ultimatum, he decided to go to the doctor and get help. Keith says: “The doctor said you can’t do it yourself, the forces are too overwhelming. I did try but the withdrawal symptoms were so tremendous, they made me feel worse than when I was drinking! “I didn’t realise how badly off I was until I became sober. “My message to anyone who was in my situation is face it; resolve it; get help. “I’ve saved a marriage. I’ve saved friends. I’ve saved relations. And I’m just a happier, different person.” If you have been affected by the issues raised in Keith’s Story, call our confidential helpline on 01482 320 606.
