Mercifully, an alcoholic who has been sober for over 11 years.Alcoholism Consultant within the SP Bespoke service - specialising in the recovery of individuals, and family, who are suffering through alcohol-related matters and the illness of alcoholism. With more than a decade of sobriety, as well as expertise and experience in recovery of alcoholics I am able to bring a unique skillset, support and solidarity to those in such positions. As a result, there is a pre-existing default position of empathy and understanding, this allowing for a special rapport to be created and nurtured very quickly with someone who is yearning for someone to understand how they think. SP Bespoke are specialists in intervention - ensuring that the alcoholic and family do not suffer many of the symptoms and consequences that we endured.
