Hi I’m Jerome, and I’m in recovery. 15 years ago today, at 34, after 21 years of experimenting with and abusing drugs, I hit rock bottom. I thought I’d hit it before, but my rock bottom had a basement 🤯. I knew I couldn’t keep going; the pain and shame were overwhelming. I was hurting my family – Mum, my 5 kids, and sisters – and it was breaking me. One day, contemplating ending it all, I decided to give recovery one more shot. That’s when I reached out to Jericho House. A few months later, I walked in a frightened little boy in a man’s body, broken and lost. I didn’t know how much work lay ahead, but the staff, volunteers, and peers reassured me I wasn’t alone. We take it one day at a time. Soon, I felt part of something special – loving, caring, and real. The power of one recovering addict helping another is incredible. I completed the 6-month program and did aftercare, which was as crucial as that first step through their doors. Today, I celebrate 15 years of freedom from active addiction 😃. I’m still connected to my Jericho family; they keep me grounded and help me work through my wonky thinking. I’m grateful for Jericho and the 12-step fellowship – they’ve helped me become a better husband, dad, grandad, son, brother, employee, and member of society. I’m far from perfect, but I’ll keep trying and learning. As they say, ‘Every day’s a school day’ I’d like to finish this by also sharing my gratitude for my loved one’s that didn’t know what to do with me but continued to love me. And I do understand that there was those who had to love me from a distance for there own sanity. ❤️🙏🏾 #HopeLivesHere #ChangeIsReal #communitysupport #unityisourstrengh #livedexperiencerecoveryorganisation Derby City Council Derby Homes Foundation Derbyshire TOYOTA The National Lottery Community Fund
