I've been battling a number of addictions for the last couple of years which has made it hard to maintain a stable lifestyle. I was lucky enough to be supported by the Crisis team and attended rehabilitation. It's not been easy but I've been clean for a while and feel strong enough to start work again.
My housing situation has been turbulent over the past couple of years. I've had a mixture of hostels, staying on friends' sofas and sleeping on the street. Thankfully, I've been supported into a temporary situation until the end of the month but not having a secure home is not ideal. I want to get some stability in my life again.
I've worked as a security officer previously and still have my license. Unfortunately, some parts need updating before I can move back into work. With Beam's support, I will renew the necessary parts and get back into work as soon as possible.
