Sven's story: "I marvel at how my life has changed."

Sven | June 2021 | 1 minute

When Sven was called into the office by HR because they were concerned about his drinking, he wasn't expecting it to help - but, thanks to that intervention, he's now two years sober. This is his story.

"I was an ostrich with my head buried in the sand and a strategically placed pint under that. I was oblivious to how things were falling apart around me – and they were."

"I’d made my peace with the fact that I would never achieve anything and no one would mourn my passing."

"I could continue listing things that show the proof of how things have changed for me but what it boils down to is simple; I no longer hate myself."

"On 28 May 2021, I celebrated two years of sobriety. I marvel at how my life has changed."
