Sue
“I [am] 3 years 10 months clean. I am really happy.”
Sue spent most of her life in addiction, homeless and in prison. She knew she had to stop her addictions so she could go to her son’s wedding and decided to seek help from the Basement Recovery Project, Huddersfield.
Sue got clean in May 2013 and made it to the wedding!
Sue initially got involved with WY-FI at the start of the Project as an Expert by Experience. She then moved into a WY-FI Peer Mentor role and later become the first Trainee Navigator of the Project!
Last year Sue spoke in the House of Lords about Homeless Link’s manifesto to end homelessness. This experience gave Sue the confidence boost she needed and just over a year later, was promoted to Junior Navigator.
Sue’s career has moved forward again, this time away from WY-FI, and she has started work at the Basement Recovery Project as a Residential Support Worker for four women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
