My daughter is a binge drinker alcoholic and I was hurt, angry, worried, I couldn't sleep because I worried because she lived alone. I cried a lot because I couldn't fix her and if I'm honest I was heading for a break-down.
Then I was told about Parent Support Link (PSL) and plucked up the courage to ring that number. That was probably the most important call I have made in a long time.
From the first phone call from Karen and then the face to face meetings things started to change. I still get upset at times but I understand addiction better now and I know if things get on top of me my support worker Barbara is there or any of the PSL team will take a moment and listen. They are like family.
I now volunteer for PSL as a call handler or in anyway I can help.
"They are like family."
