'I'm much nicer to myself now. I'm kinder, I'm more understanding that it doesn't matter if I don't have the perfectly cleaned house. I'm worth it, and I'm doing the best that I can.'
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.
Blake
‘Recovery would mean to let go of these past things that have happened in my life and keep me stuck in that headspace.’
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.'
George
‘Recovery for me is a continuing process. It’s a gradual process of accepting yourself, not being too down on yourself. Recovery is wanting to continue life.’
Janette
'I didn't connect a lot with people, and that's probably because of past issues. Helping me connect with other support was the help I needed.'
Kelly
‘Recovery for me means taking each day as it comes and focusing on the positives. And knowing that you’re going to be okay.’
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.'
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.'
