"I wasn't in a really good headspace and felt like I needed someone to chat with. It's been a really great experience because you don't have to hide anything you can just be yourself."
Recovery stories
Each person we support has a story of strength, struggle and resilience. Here are a few stories from the people we work with.
Stephen
“As soon as I saw the house, I looked around I thought, this is it, I hugged the chimney, and I knew this was my home.”
Alex
"The support they gave to me was overwhelming. They understood what I was going through, by the time I left I felt renewed. I felt like I have aired out everything I need to air out."
Cathy
“It’s been a journey, but I’ve come out the other side. I believe in shining colours. I’ve really done a lot of hard work to turn my life around.”
Rob
'It took a lot of the pressure off. It was transformational because at the time I was unemployed and homeless, and it was good to be able to change all that.'
Todd
"It was being able to sit down with people that understood and had the background of knowing what to ask and how to talk to me."
Kelly
"Neami have coached me into believing that I can actually be free of these addictions and feel a sense of self-worth."
Darryle
'We talk about our health, talk about everything. I get myself to the doctors now, I make sure I take my medication and get my blood tests done every fortnight.'
Tyson
'Working with the team I was able to calm everything down, to stay still and to not have my mind racing, to have that bit of relief.'
