Since coming to the UK in 2014, my life has been tough. I've struggled with addiction and homelessness most of my time here.
It wasn't until I spent a few months in prison last year that I realised that drugs wasn't the life for me. I've given up heroin and crack and now I'm feeling ready to get into work. I'm feeling great now I've given up drugs - I was an addict for most of my life so I feel so much fresher and even look so much better too.
I'd love to get started again with something simple because I haven't had a job for a while. Something like a warehouse role would be amazing to help me get some experience. I know I'm capable and I'm really hungry for the stability that working would give me.
In 2 years time I'd see myself in a stable job - maybe moving into a more stable house with my partner too. It's really exciting to see that this isn't too far off now!
