“Together helped pull me together” - Justin
“It was great to know that I had someone in the background on the end of the phone, encouraging me to do what was needed and address my alcohol use”
“I felt like it was time for me to give back to others. Now I feel like I am making a difference to other people’s lives. I feel supported in what I do and I am part of a great team. Everyone here is so positive.” - Together Peer Mentor
“That was the day my tiny broken mind began to reignite.
Safe at my table, staring into the screen, I began to trust. Simply put, they couldn’t touch me. Nobody was going to reach out and grab me. Even if I’d been in a face to face group, nobody could grab me. They weren’t there to be drunk. They were there to be not drunk.
Kevin Spiers taught me that, although I am an addict, I’m not evil because of it.
From that group, I heard for the first time, acceptance. Understanding.
I learned what I was, and was given tools to help me cope.
Tools is maybe an understatement. Weapons. The group gave me a fiery sword and iron shield, weapons to fight back.
Men cried in that group. It made it easier when I invariably did too.”
