Rob Page grew up in the Army, where camaraderie, family and belonging are the lifeblood and bonding activities are punctuated by – or permeated with – alcohol
Of course you don’t have to drink, but nobody likes to be the odd one out.
We recruit from sections of society where risk factors for addiction are arguably higher - incomplete education, difficult family situations, social deprivation and early exposure to drugs and alcohol.
We now have a working environment in the Army where you can tell the truth about your addiction, whatever it may be, and get help. That doesn’t make it any easier, but it does mean we’re in a better position to understand and support you.
